Cookie

Movie Rating: Agathe Tissier

A flight attendant who's lost her family in an accident takes in her cleaning lady's son when she disappears.

Ann attractive flight attendant, Adeline (Alice Taglioni) concentrates on her work to try and forget losing her husband and son in a car accident she's responsible for. With her heart closed off since the tragedy, she ignores the pilot who has fallen for her on the job. But when her Chinese cleaning lady disappears from one day to the next, leaving her six-year-old boy behind, Adeline goes in search of her to reunite her with her son. But the boy doesn't speak French and has no ID, so Adeline nicknames him Cookie and soon finds him changing her life forever. By fighting for the boy's happiness, she's eventually able to find her way back to joy of her own...

The generous social plot of this movie doesn't compensate for the accumulation of clichés and the obvious ending. After Ensemble, c'est trop (literally: being together is too much), Léa Frazer proves that being separated is even worse! After sitting through the tear-jerking search for and reunion of mother and son, viewers are sure to do the same with this movie as the tissues they cried into: toss it away.
