How easy is it to restart life on the other side of the ocean for Lisa? We'll find out in the new French movie 'I Love America' that releases on Prime Video on April 29

Prime Video audiences have been invited to step into the world of director Lisa Azuelos's new French movie 'I Love America' starring Sophie Marceau, who plays Lisa in the movie. It is about a French woman who takes a chance on life and love again by deciding to move from Paris to Los Angeles after her super famous mother's death.

The French movie is partly biographic as the film takes inspiration from director Lisa Azuelos' ('Dalida', 'Sweetheart', 'LOL') personal experience of moving to the United States. The French director said, “My only goal when I make a movie is to promote love and remind the audience it is our life purpose,” She added, “I am very honoured that Amazon is promoting this vision of mine.” From the trailer the movie looks charming and funny; Marceau is delightful and brings some French sensibilities to Los Angeles. While you are at it, you can also watch some other amazing comedy dramas like 'The Marvelous Mrs Maisel' and 'Harlem'.

When does 'I Love America' release and where can you watch it?

After making it's debut in France a few weeks ago in March, 'I Love America' is coming to the US for streaming on Prime Video starting on April 29.

What is 'I Love America' all about?

The official synopsis of the movie reads, "Lisa, a single woman who decides to take a chance on love again by catapulting her life from Paris to Los Angeles. Her children flew the coop and her famous, yet absent mother just passed, so Lisa needs a big change. She reunites with her best friend Luka, who found success in America with his iconic drag queen bar but is struggling to find his own prince charming. Luka embarks on a mission to give Lisa a fresh start by creating a profile for her on a dating website. From awkward dates to a surprise encounter with John, Lisa will understand that the journey to love is a journey towards herself and forgiveness of her first love: her mother."

In this comedy about self discovery, we see Lisa played by French actress Sophie Marceau, who received a César Award for Most Promising Actress (known as the French Oscar) as a teenager for her debut films 'La Boum' (1980) and 'La Boum 2' (1982).
