"The Hook Up Plan" on Netflix
A possible result of being unlucky with love for far too long? Your friends may intervene. In "The Hook Up Plan," single girl Elsa (Zita Hanrot) is set up with Jules (Marc Ruchmann), a supposed teacher, by her friends… only he's not a teacher at all — he's a male escort in disguise! As Elsa comes to realize the truth about her potential love interest, she begins to doubt her willingness to date him and in the process comes to terms with the fact that she might also have feelings for him. "The Hook Up Plan" is available to stream on Netflix.
"Amélie" on HBO Max, Hulu & Amazon Prime Video
Who could forget this beloved French film? Starring Audrey Tautou as the titular character, "Amélie" tells the story of an introverted, charming young woman who whimsically explores Parisian life and changes the lives of those around her in the process. "Amélie," which was directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, earned five Academy Award nominations in 2002 including best original screenplay, best cinematography and best international feature film. The gorgeous French flick is available to stream on HBO Max, Hulu and Amazon Prime Video.
"Ratatouille" on Disney+
An unlikely pair that we are absolutely here for! "Ratatouille," which debuted in 2007, follows street rat Remy, who dreams of becoming a chef at a well-respected restaurant in Paris. With the help of clumsy kitchen worker Linguini, Remy finally devises a way to bring his dream to fruition — but how far can he go without his rodent identity being revealed? This heartwarming culinary tale, which earned an Academy Award nomination for best original screenplay, is available to stream on Disney+.
"Julie & Julia" on Hulu & Amazon Prime Video
Written by Nora Ephron, the mind behind romantic flicks like "When Harry Met Sally" and "Sleepless in Seattle," "Julie & Julia" follows the journey of Julie Powell (Amy Adams), a dissatisfied New Yorker who attempts to recreate all of acclaimed chef Julia Childs' (Meryl Streep) recipes from her famed "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" cookbook. The film, which simultaneously charts Julie's culinary quest while exploring Julia's own journey to becoming an expert in French cuisine, is incredibly charming. "Julie & Julia" is available to stream on Hulu and Amazon Prime Video.
"The Eddy" on Netflix
Starring André Holland as Elliot Udo, "The Eddy" chronicles a club owner and father of a rebellious teen (Amandla Stenberg) as he tries to run a jazz club in Paris. The first two episodes of the musical drama series were directed by Damien Chazelle, who wrote and directed Academy Award-winning films "Whiplash" and "La La Land." The show, which RogerEbert.com praised for its "joyous representation of creative expression," is a worthwhile option for any jazz enthusiast. All eight episodes of "The Eddy" are available to stream on Netflix. Read More…
