Reviews

Pacific Palisades received mixed to negative reviews from critics upon its release and continues to hold a modest rating on various platforms. On IMDb, the film has a low score of 3.6/10, indicating generally unfavorable viewer opinions. Many reviewers criticized the film for its predictable plot and lack of depth, with some describing it as a 'light but forgettable romantic comedy.' However, Sophie Marceau's performance was often praised for bringing charm and sincerity to the role of Nora. Critics from outlets like AllMovie noted the film's attempt to blend French and American sensibilities, but felt the execution was somewhat uneven. Rotten Tomatoes does not have a sufficient critic score for this movie, reflecting its relative obscurity and limited critical coverage. Overall, Pacific Palisades is seen as a modest, breezy film that may appeal to fans of light romantic fare but fails to leave a lasting impact.
