It’s all light as a feather, with Jeremy Leven, the writer and director, landing some good multinational jokes along the way.

With this “Girl” and her bicycle, the cute bits, rare laugh out loud moments, occasionally zippy lines and limply obvious farcical predicaments are never more than instantly forgettable.

The movie’s ludicrous narrative continually forces its characters to behave like cretins, and even when Leven’s dialogue is tolerable, it can barely be heard over Craig Richey’s aggressively sprightly score.

A rom-com whose agreeable individual elements aren't enough to sell the witless contrivance around which they revolve.

Girl on a Bicycle is like Micki + Maude minus the outrage, complexity, or crack timing.

What wants to be a screwball comedy is run over by preposterous character motivation and a clunky plot.

The word convoluted does no justice to just how poorly designed Girl on a Bicycle is. It is also stereotypical, unfunny, unromantic, absurd, sitcomish, insulting to several European ethnicities and a slave to what Roger Ebert used to call "The Idiot Plot Syndrome."

Well written farcical humour verging on slapstick, meshed with some surprisingly brilliant acting portraying lovable characters topped off with some exceptional cinematography and a gentle appropriate soundtrack. I give this a score of 10 for all the above but especially because it isn't pretentious it outs itself as a cliche from the get go and it is much more original and enjoyable because of this. Highly enjoyable. ****/writer/zero.html
