    This is the Paris -- and the mad, beautiful young Parisienne -- we look for in dreams.

    The lanky, wide-eyed Tautou is so phenomenally charming -- her smile could sweeten vinegar -- as to make Amelie irresistible.

    Sucks -- because it's a frenetic bore that insists on its audience's adoration while making no demands upon their intelligence.

    This is my favorite film of all time. Audrey Tautou shines as the beautiful title character. The film is inspiring. It reminds us that we are all capable of greatness even if we feel small and incapable. It will leave you smiling, and full of hope. Films like Amelie are rare. The film is full of many visual treats, and humorous anecdotes. Jean-Pierre Jeunet is at his best here, and Yann Tiersen offers up a truly masterful score that serves as the perfect garnish for this cinematic feast.… Expand

    Horribly boring and dumb, this is a movie that tries to be what it isn't: an artistic production. After 30 minutes of it, you just want to stop. The story is just too "pink", simply too "happy" to stand it. 0 realism, dumb, it doesn't challenge the audience and it doesn't make you feel anything but boredom. Soul-less, failed artistic wannabe movie.… Expand
