Reception
Isabelle Regnier from 'Le Monde', while praising the believable and sympathetic portrayal of a gay couple and the comprehensive depiction of social issues such as surrogacy and gay adoption, found the film "average" and noted that it resembles more a standard American romantic comedy than a French film. Jordan Mintzer from Variety Wrote "Uppity perf by Wilson adds plenty of sugar to the brew, and its contrasted nicely by Elbes commanding stoicism as the main characters boyfriend. Spanish thesp Lopez De Ayalas convincing turn as an immigrant caught among friendly but domineering interests is another plus" 'The Hollywood Reporter' wrote that "Although the photography of Paris is fairly stock, the film is well-paced. Everyone pretty much gets what he or she wants by the end of the story, and while the triumphs are too easily earned, the actors and characters are so engaging that we dont begrudge them their bliss"
Mirito Torreiro of 'Fotogramas' rated the film with 3 out of 5 stars. He deemed the film's screenplay to be better than its making, ultimately considering however that, TV-movie looks notwithstanding, it is enjoyable to watch.
