I didn't realise this was a remake.
I stumbled on Mostly Martha a few days ago. It was made 6 years earlier, in German and, as a European film, is less bright and shiney and a little bit less cute but just as enjoyable. It's near as damnit the same story - perhaps because it's the same writer, Sandra Nettelbeck who also directed the first version. And the cast is just as good - so, happy accident that I stumbled on it and one of these days I'll have to sit down and watch them back to back.
