It's only sporadically funny and ties up one of its major narrative issues a little too quickly but The Valet still manages to continue the recent trend of unusually high quality American remakes of European films with a heartwarming romantic comedy that boasts surprising thematic depth and emotional heft.
Eugenio Debrez's innocent and shy persona works extremely well and he's able to do quite a lot without saying anything. He also has solid chemistry with Samara Weaving, whose self deprecating nature and exhausted energy is just as good.
Richard Wong's direction is good, the film is competently shot overall with the films within the film standing out the most. The soundtrack and music by Heitor Pereira is exactly what you expect from a romcom but it just proves why it works so well.
