I like quirky movies and I am an open minded person. However, I thought this movie sucked. Maybe because I was reading French for two hours at one o clock in the morning. I thought that the characters were very bizarre, and Amelie couldn't seem to make up her mind about some things that were quite obvious to the viewer. I heard that this was a romantic and fairy tale like movie. If that is what youre looking for, I'd check out chocolat. The characters are wonderful, johnny depp is totally hot in it, and it has a nice story line.
