The Valet Review: A Surprisingly Hilarious Rom-Com

Eugenio Derbez and Samara Weaving have fantastic chemistry in a hilarious romantic-comedy. The Valet remakes the 2006 hit French film with a distinctly American storyline. The premise has a glamorous Hollywood actress covering up her affair to a married billionaire by pretending to date a Mexican parking attendant. The fake couple bumbles through laugh-out-loud differences in class, race, and ethnicity. A banner supporting cast from both spheres gobble up their mismatched hijinks. One character in particular nearly steals the show in a sidesplitting sub-plot. The Valet runs long into a sentimental climax. The filmmakers could have achieved rom-com greatness by sticking with a lighter touch in the end.
