A local critic, who likes Jane Eyre, says this:
--- Quote ---A seven-word review: Very good performances. Much too much weather.

;D
She also says it's the 27th screen adaptation of the story, provided you don't count I Walked with a Zombie. I guess if you do count IWWAZ, then it's the 28th. ;D
Dame Judi Dench plays the housekeeper! :D

Normally I never watch french movies. I think they are bit dull. But this comedy is just hilarious and funny straight threw, and I am rolling on the floor in laughter all the time. If you loved the dance parts, in Dirty Dancing, and the love, in Love and other drugs, I think you will love this.

I really enjoyed that film as well. I'm a big fan of Romain Duris.
Speaking of French films, I just got back from seeing The Princess of Montpensier starring another favourite of mine, Gaspard Ulliel.
It's a wonderful costume drama set in 16th century France during the wars between the Catholics and Huguenots. The period detail and costumes feel amazingly authentic but the film feels fresh and original. the cinematography is gorgeous and lush and the acting is excellent, especially Gregoire Leprince-Ringuet as the tortured Prince de Montpensier. Mélanie Thierry is beautiful and somewhat icy as his wife, whom every man falls in love with. This is not just a love triangle, more like a love pentagon! A sweeping drama, complete with swash-buckling and court intrigue, with an intelligent script. Highly recommended.
