It's Tim Blake Nelson's character who keeps the plot from spinning out of control, because he has a natural and unforced respect for these women that he yanks his brother's chain and keeps their mission on course.

A Foreign Affair is an altogether enjoyable diversion, a light and clever comedy that offers some great performances in a unique setting. Plus it's about ten times more sincere and entertaining than what passes for romantic comedy these days.

In the end, it's not going to bother anyone, and it's funnier than it has a right to be. Just don't expect real comedic insight into the ways human beings stumble into love.

This is one case where the director would have been better off pointing his camera at real subjects. The truth, in this case, is almost sure to be stranger than the fiction.

A competently assembled yet perplexingly affectless romantic comedy.

Neither funny enough to be a comedy nor serious enough to pass for drama.

Nelson's charisma keeps the film watchable, but there are few laughs or surprises.

Spirited indie film that could be improved by a gifted editor.
