Sun! Sea! Men! Margaritas! The siren song of this holy quartet is all that is required to tempt free-spirited hot mess Magalie to pack her bags and join her estranged former schoolfriend Blandine on the holiday of a lifetime. The invitation has come courtesy of Blandine’s teenaged son Benjamin , who believes, with good reason, that his recently divorced mother is in danger of becoming a recluse — and she wasn’t exactly the life and soul of the party to begin with.
As the scene in question begins, the hapless pair have ended up in a low-key bar full of old archaeologists. Naturally, Magalie decides to liven things up, getting up and dancing on her own and on the tables. So far, so every movie you’ve ever seen about a free-spirited wild child scandalizing her stuck-up chum. But there’s room for a lovely little touch, whereby Magalie dances briefly behind a pillar, and the person who dances out the other side is the actor we recognize as teenaged Magalie.
Bijou is cut from the same cloth as Meryl Streep’s dungaree-wearing Donna in “Mamma Mia”, the kind of character latter-day Andie MacDowell has made a speciality — not the kind of personality you immediately associate with Scott Thomas, but she brings unexpected dimensions to a character that could be a bit of a stock type. Whoever decided to approach Scott Thomas and see if she fancied stretching a different muscle is to be applauded.
Despite occasional detours into darker themes, this is fundamentally a relaxing trip for an audience — ideal for women of a similar age to the main characters who might fancy treating themselves to a trip to the Greek islands without actually having to get on a flight.
