Steineded How sad is this?

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

sdanielatorres A bit of independent romantic bizarre mixture to create a suitable environment to enjoy the movie.Indeed, from the start to the odd end, the movie presents a fresh idea if you are tired of the typical American romantic comedy but you love the concept of two strangers falling in love; the movie is enthralling and fresh that even the predictable happy ending has a innovating details to left the viewer with a smile.Besides the situations you have the awkwardness of the characters allowing you to have a wonderful time laughing with/at them.Recommended as well as the soundtrack.

MartinHafer A few days ago, I saw a terrible romantic comedy that I reviewed. Most of the problem with it was the atrocious writing and I ended my article suggesting you try another film--ANY other film. Well, I just saw a wonderful romantic comedy--one that I heartily endorse and hope you see with someone you love. This is THE film to see instead. Sadly, however, because it's a French language film, many folks won't even consider it.The film is about two amazingly shy people--so shy that she faints when she is nervous and he tends to run away when he gets a case of the nerves! How the two finally get together is what makes this an ultra-charming and delightful film.It begins with Angélique (Isabelle Carré ) going on job interview to become a chocolatier. What she doesn't know is that the man interviewing her, Jean-René (Benoît Poelvoorde), is also incredibly shy. She's so shy that she doesn't even tell him that she wants to make chocolates and he's so shy that he doesn't even tell her she's been hired! Eventually, she somehow figures out she's been hired but reluctantly goes out to sell his sub-par chocolates because he thinks she wants to be a salesperson. But chocolate shops don't want his candies and unless something happens, she realizes that the company is bound to go bankrupt. What you then learn is that she is a world-class chocolatier--but is so shy that she cannot bring herself to tell anyone that she is the 'mysterious hermit' who has previously gained nationwide fame for the chocolates. How can she manage to help Jean-René without revealing who she really is? And, more importantly, how can the pair ever get together romantically considering they are absolutely hopeless with the opposite sex? So why did I like this film so much? Well, the characters are so cute and adorable you can't help but care about them and love them. This means that the actors, director (Jean-Pierre Améris) and writer (Jean-Pierre Améris also co-wrote the film) did a fabulous job in this film. Additionally, the film is so totally unique and so amazingly clever that you cannot help but enjoy. Try this film--I pretty much guarantee that if you watch it you will enjoy it. And, if you have Netflix, it's now available. Or, since it's such a great film, you might just want to buy this film from Amazon for less than $14--a real bargain!

pontifikator Directed by Jean-Pierre Ameris in 2010, this is a French romantic comedy starring Benoît Poelvoorde and Isabelle Carré as the star-crossed lovers.Actually, they're neurotic. The gist of the movie is that they're both so neurotic, neither can find a relationship of any kind. The movie follows Angélique Delange (played by Carré) in her search for a job that doesn't make her faint, and she meets Jean- René Van Den Hugde ( Poelvoorde) who hires her as a sales rep for his chocolate factory.The movie is laugh-out-loud funny almost all the way through its girl meets boy, girl loses boy, girl gets boy plot. Their neuroses are played for laughs, of course, and each has enough foibles to keep you, if not in stitches, then at least in laughter. The movie has no depth, no lesson, but it has the light touch needed to keep things moving. If you want a very funny movie to while away an hour and a half or so, "Romantics Anonymous" is your ticket.

runamokprods Quite cute romantic comedy that manages to overcome being predicable in the broad sense with lovely performances, and a quirky sensibility that allows for smaller surprises within the established rom-com format. Benoit Poelvorode (in a 180 degree turn from his famous, chilling performance in "Man Bites Dog") and Isabelle Carre are both, in different ways, suffering from terrible shyness and fear of emotions and attention. Yet, when she comes to work at his chocolate company personality and fate keep conspiring to force them together, in spite of their fears. This has a few laugh out loud moments, and lots of smile inducing ones. In the end, it doesn't add up to more than what it is; a good hearted romantic comedy done with expertise, but in a world full of painful and dead rom-coms, this is s very nice surprise.
