i be a big big fan of le fabuleux destin damélie poulain . in fact and it one of my favorite movie of all time . a friend tell me about odette toulemonde and since she love amélie too and i get the dvd and just watch it . and i be feel very sorry and most of all disappoint now . while the movie be clearly inspire by amélie ( to say the very least . ) and it never ever get there . not even close . the story be totally make up nonsense . it actually so make up and the character be so two dimensional and uninteresting and the whole thing be so senseless and bore it actually start to hurt physically . and while audrey tautou be just totally cute and lovable and amélie poulain be a multi faceted and well construct character and caterine frot sadly have no comedic talent whatsoever and her character odette toulemonde be dull and uninteresting and flat . the acting in general be way beyond terrible and so at least it not caterine alone that make this movie an epic fail in my book . forgive my rave and but i expect something soooo different especially since it try so hard to be amélie . i realize and that ( read the other comment ) not very much people will agree with me and but nevertheless it how i feel . and oh and i get a dvd for sale and if you be interested while ) .
