Let me be clear, this film is about as deep as a puddle and offers little in terms of character growth or conflict. That said, it succeeds where most American rom-coms completely and utterly fail: it made me happy. The film is anchored by two characters who were just so endearing that I couldn't help but root for them. While it certainly isn't a masterpiece, it is everything that a standard romantic comedy should aspire to be - light, sweet, and charming.

A very cutesy movie with Isabelle Carré playing a character similar to the iconic Amélie only with any sharp or spiky edges carefully filed down to soft, rounded, cotton-wool fluffiness. Her performance as the timid "emotional" heroine is winning, and Benoît Poelvoorde is very funny as her even more timid boss. Although the idea was nice, it didn't go anywhere interesting - and the opportunity to get visual and sensual with an amazing chocolate experience was totally missed by the director.

Really sweet.

Very cute - recommended if you liked Amelie.

7/8

This romance about a too sentimental couple -- they both are afraid of people and any kind of human contact -- basically plays by the rules of american indie comedies, filled with a lovely soundtrack, a cute pair of characters and a supposedly charming but happy finale. Dull, null and so on.

Good comedy about a very shy couple in funny situations.
