It’s always a crap shoot when you watch a remake of a favourite and this one just didn’t reach the bar. It read like a jaded fairytale not the romance of a hardworking woman who defies the limits of her life to earn respect and a wish fulfillment. In the effort to appear a social commentary it threw in a garbage strike in beautiful Paris and socioeconomic rhetoric that has no context or value to the story or the pace. What it scrimped on was character development. None of the characters won me over despite some good casting choices. I give this film a 5 (meh) out of 10. [Dramedy]
