Summary: An Extrodinay Masterpiece( c'est une piece magnifique )
Review: It is a rare thing to watch something as beautiful as Amelie and even better because it happens to be in French. Which makes it an even stronger endeavor. I loved it from the very first scene, and by the end I was crying tears of joy. It is beauty in it's simplest form. True beauty! Not the commercialized, hollywood defenition; it is the real thing and the sad part about that is most people will fail to see it or understand. If we could all only see the world through the eyes of Amelie or those of Nino. What a world that would be; it would be pure. I loved it and believe it to be one of the greatest films ever made. The strength is in the story line and the way that the actors and actresses bring each character alive. I watched this film three nights in a row; I am lucky in that I work for a video store and I was able to view it through a demo tape. I would encourage everyone to see this film. I believe that if everyone watches this film with an open heart and mind that it will touch their lives. Then they in turn will touch others around them. Beauty is in the simplest of things; if only we could remember that every day. Ameile will touch the soul and you will be begging for more. This is a masterpiece of the age. A classic among so many films that tend to be boring and void. This film is what making and watching films are all about. It is a Monet of the year 2001. It will last through out time

Summary: Absolutely Amazing Film
Review: I hate "chick-flicks"; hate them with a passion! I was more or less dragged to see this French movie, and I am so glad I was forced to see it. This is the farthest thing from a typical "chick-flick". For example, it's absolutely hilarious and it never takes itself too seriously. The story's hand kind of ambles along; not too fast, not too slow. The editorial describes this film as "pragmatic." I would say that this is term is accurate. The film is driven by it's cause-and-effect nature, and as you will see, absolutely nothing happens in this film without causing something down the line. As a result, everything builds to a crescendo. The humor gets funnier, and the story becomes more enrapturing.If you are a young guy like me (26), I know you will at least be able to tolerate this movie. As a matter of fact I'm betting you'll actually like it! I don't think anyone can see this film and not be in a good mood afterward. I would definitely classify this as a date movie. Even if you don't have a date, get this film and lose yourself in Amelie's beautiful world.

Summary: Amelie Receives a 5 star rating.
Review: This movie is not a heavy love movie like Titanic. The main plot is all about "teasing" She teases him, he teases her. I saw this movie with 2 good friends of mine, both men. I started crying at the end of the movie. The best part of the movie was the animation of the pictures on her wall. They speak to each other, when she is sleeping. I suggest that you see this movie with someone you love. Watch this movie and then watch it again, and again. I personally don't think you could sick of it.

Summary: Witty and funny
Review: This movie is great. It is witty and humurous but also gives some insight. No matter if you are a bit strange, you will suceed in life. And you have to pay attention from the beginning... to figure out what goes on in the end! I hadn't noticed a few details at the start and wonderered how some things happenned but the secret was finally revealed. When French want to produce a humurous movie they know damn well how to do that. Go see it and you won't regret it.

Summary: Buy the soundtrack too ...
Review: Missed this film somehow in the cinema. Bought the DVD because someone told me of the beginning with the fly and it's 14,000x beats per minute being squashed by a car, so I thought that can't be a bad film ;). The gnome is priceless ... I won't go over the cinematography or story, the MUSIC in this film alone makes it's worth buying. Beautiful soundtrack, this always completes a great film.

Summary: "Amelie" makes you happy...
Review: As I was getting ready to go see "Amelie" in an independent movie theatre in Albany, a friend of mine, who had a chance to see it before I did, said: "You will like it. This movie will make you happy!".....and oh, how right he was. I left the movie theatre later that evening deeply fascinated by Amelie's spirit and utterly happy at the same time. Reminded of the beauty of small things in life, I keep reviving scenes from "Amelie" in my mind ever since then. Without wanting to reveal essential details, I simply want to ask you to go ahead and see this wonderful movie for yourself. And I also say: "You will like it. This movie will make you happy!"

Summary: Interesting but...
Review: This was a cute and interesting little film. Very original in the method of the telling of the story. It has been mentioned that this film is an updated version of the Hally Mills film Pollyanna. In that the heroine goes about making other people happy but neglects herself. I found it very interesting how Amelie is interested in living other peoples lives but is too afraid of living her own life and accepting love. Mostly because of the rejection from her Parents. The entire story is told in a funny quirky way. I also liked the scenery and the cinematography everything was set in an almost glowing gold. Which reflected Amelie's (fantasy) view of the world as being happy and shinning However, and this is the reason for the 4 stars, Some elements of the film where a major turn off. Such as the endless sex jokes and the scenes of people performing coitus. That was just unecessary and overdone--when I want to see that kind of stuff I'll rent a porno. Not that there is anything wrong with sex in movies. Just as long as it is called for. But not in this instance, I felt that it was just thrown in for titilation purposes. And it really marred the film. Other than that Amelie was an ejoyable film and one of the bright spots in the lackluster 2001 film year.

Summary: Should have one at the Oscars!!
Review: Amelie is the one movie, I have seen in theaters more than once. From the opening scenes of the movie, until the ending, I was in awe of everything going on. From the vibrant colors used every where, to the outstanding performances of the actors themselves, this movie is one that can be enjoyed by anyone. I've seen it 3 times in the theaters, and a male friend of mine has seen it 5 times. It is just an incredible film that will leave you wanting more.

Summary: I want to be Amelie
Review: If someone made a movie out of my daydreams and neuroses, I could only hope that it would be as amusing, sweet and entertaining as Amelie. When this film came out here in Iowa, everyone who saw it commanded that everyone they know see it immediately. Very subtitle-friendly--so much visual communication in the movie that non-French-speakers who don't often watch foreign language films won't be annoyed by the subtitles.
