Read My Lips 2001

Read My Lips (2001)     Carla is a woman in her mid-twenties working as a secretary in a real estate development office.  She is shy and she needs to wear hearing aids because of partial deafness.  She's very busy and her boss offers to hire an assistant for her, Paul has just been released from prison and he's looking for a job.
     This is good, Carla and Paul are like oil and water, very different people.  She starts to like him and really wants him to stay at the office job but he owes a man 70,000 francs.  The only way for him to pay it back is to start working at his club which won't go well with his parole officer.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

Note:  Blockbuster 3 1/2*, 7.4 out of 10, 97% critic 81% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
