this movie try so hard to be cute and clever that it concentrated sweetness give me a high for about five minute and then i crash for the rest of it . amalie ( audrey tautou ) have the demeanor of a spoiled little girl who grow up think she be ever so cute . she seem to be say and look at me and can you resist me . and then she give off a self satisfy smile with the hint and you think i be cute before and aren not you blow away by my smile . ugh . but the thing that really bug me about this movie be amelie conceit . she presume to know what will make others happy and meddles in their life . among the thing this adorable girl do be break and enter an apartment to do mean thing to it owner possession and send false letter and short out people tv at peak moment and lie to people about who love them and make anonymous phone call without have the integrity to speak with the callee and and steal one of her father prize possession . i know that we be suppose to accept the fantasy nature of this film where photo talk and statue wink and and people always answer public phone and but my patience for this kind of thing wore thin very fast . we be tell and show actually and that amelie mother be kill by a suicidal person jump off of notre dame and landing on her . how be be we suppose to react to that . be it suppose to be funny . wasn not to me . then there be the agonizing game that amelie play with the guy she fall far . she give him hint and and give the opportunity to make contact and shy away . you just want to shake her and tell her to just talk to the guy for heaven sake . finally at the end they meet and the first thing they do without say a word be kiss and have sex . what kind of message be that . the whole movie be film through some kind of orange filter that i suppose be mean to cast some sort of romantic candle lit effect over the proceeding and but for me it be just one more barrier that prevent me from get close to this movie .
