Summary: Amelie on Amelie by Audrey Tautou(Garry Hixon)
Review: A great movie that has started an avalanche in Paris and London, I suppose in the United States too, but since I live here, I never know whats going on! God bless the wonderful Audrey Tautou, she is a brand new talent, and is receiving much deserved raves for her incredible portayal as the dark haired and so-sweet! Amelie. This film is up for many academy awards and I hope Audrey walks away with them all! This is a sure fire video to rent or buy, and if you have a dvd player, youll really be stoked! bye Amelie-Love Audrey Tautou(Garry Hixon)!

Summary: Charming!
Review: Charming is the perfect word to describe this wonderful film. Just when you had lost your faith that the movie industry could produce art, along comes a gem whose diologue spouts wit and hilarity and whose actors radiate charisma. Who could resist, and who could see it just once. Though "Amelie" provides a high contrast right down to the color scheme to "The City of Lost Children" directional parallels can be drawn and those similarities reflect poise and expert craftsmanship (for lack of a better word) I highly recommend Amelie to anyone; from those who love cinema as an art form, to those who go for the sheer purpose of being entertained. It fulfills both desires with gusto and skilled furvor.

Summary: Absolutely fascinating. One of the best I've ever seen.
Review: Amélie Poulin is this naive and sweet girl who has a fantastic destiny in front of her. One day, while watching the news that say that princess Diana has just died in Paris, she discovers a hole in her bathroom with tin box. In the tin box she finds someone's childhood treasure. The picture of a sports hero, a little Formula 1 car from the 50's, a little bicycle toy... Understanding just how valuable this treasure should be for the owner she sets out to find him and deliver it to him without taking any credit. Suddenly she realizes that she can help people, specially those around her. There's Madeleine, a neighbor of the building where she lives who lives depressed as her husband died while being unfaithful to her. Raymond who has a disease that makes his bones so fragile that a mere handshake could shatter his hand. He never leaves his apartment and despite painting the same Renoir picture he has never been able to get the look of one of the picture's characters right. Lucien who works at the grocery store and who has a somewhat "romantic" view of life but who's humiliated every day by Collingnon, the owner of the store, who enjoys making Lucien's work a miserable experience but who will run to call his mother the second he's afraid. And then there's the people who work with her at the coffee shop like one who sells the cigarettes that thinks that she has every disease imaginable but probably just needs a little love. The psychotic customer who stalks one of the waitresses that he used to date. His father who had always dreamed of making a trip around the world but discarded that idea when his wife (Amélie's mother) died and now lives a sad and solitary life. And finally Nino who goes to every instant-photo booth in every train station and picks up the pictures that people have thrown away and collects them in an album but he wonders why a certain peron has taken his picture all around the city but always throws it away. Amélie will help them all. And the audience will have a lot of fun watching her do it. One will cry at times but tears of joy indeed and one will laugh at times. And at the end of the movie one will cheer for her as she gets her reward because by the end of the movie she will have found her way to every spectator's heart. However the magic of the movie doesn't end just with this superb story and wonderful characters. Kudos for Jean-Pierre Jeunet on his marvelous directing. The editing techniques, the cinematographic language he uses....One critic said that Jeunet was born to direct this film Couldn't agree more. And of course the acting is superb. Fantastic movie indeed. Absolutely beautiful, a lot of fun and very charming. When the movie ends you can't get that smile out of your face and you suddenly think that as long as there's someone like Amélie out there somewhere then this world is actually a better place that what we believe.

Summary: Parfait! did I get that right?
Review: Been years since my schoolGal French days, but that didn't get in the way of my enjoying "Amelie" immensely. What a pleasant, wonderful surprise! I had read that it was about an overly imaginative young woman, but that's not really accurate. In this movie, Amelie's whole world is hyperimaginative--it's not just her. There is a great narrative train overlaying the movie, as we are informed about certain facts regarding the characters, such as one whose sole pleasure is bursting bubble wrap, and another who dislikes waking up with her face wrinkled from the pillow case. Through it all, our heroine Amelie tries to arrange the world to provide maximum happiness, without trying to do anything in particular for herself at first, but thank goodness, she winds up pretty happy herself by the end. S'il vous plait, you've just gotta see this move, it'll be "quelle dommage" if you don't!

Summary: Amelie
Review: This film is one of the most sentimental wastes of time I've ever had to sit through. I have friends who have seen it countless times and wow, I just don't get it. The scenes of Paris are wonderful and the direction is great but I can't shake moony little Amelie poking her nose in everyone's business and the "ok, I'm going to talk to this guy. Wait! No, now I'm backing away!". After 45 minutes of their ridiculous cat and mouse game, I was so frustrated with her cutesy hijinks I was ready to walk. But yes, I do believe I'm the only one. My date liked it. Who woulda thought he was so sappy?

Summary: For the weird and individualistic people out there
Review: I watched this film without knowing what it was about, and was pleasantly surprised. The storyline is refreshingly original, about the queer actions of a queer reclusive young girl. It suspends you in a childlike wonder, like a wonderland joy ride. You just don't know what to expect next. It is heart-warming, extremely hilarious and inspiring (inspires us to indulge in our kookiness). But forget it if you're looking for a serious moralistic film with a political ground. Better not read too much reviews if you want to watch this film. This film is better watched not knowing what to expect. So Stop reading now and just watch it!

Summary: Beautiful, touching film
Review: Amélie left me breathless. I left the theatre crying, not because of a sad storyline (quite the opposite) but because I was so touched by the heart of the characters.

Summary: Audrey Tautou's "Beautiful Mind"
Review: After seeing "Forrest Gump" in 1994, I swore that wild horses couldn't drag me to another "feel good" movie. A friend tricked me into seeing "Amelie", and I entered the theatre prepared to throw popcorn at the screen and yell sarcastic remarks at the corny parts. Being a crumudgeon is an ugly job, but someone's got to do it. I was tricked! I didn't realize that director Jean-Pierre Jeunet had a secret weapon, Audrey Tautou, and I was reduced to this weepy/happy old fool. The magical Ms. Tautou captured my heart and soul in the role of the Parisian merry prankster, Amelie. This is the movie that should sweep the Oscars, but probably won't win a single one, because it's a French production. So on Oscar night, when "Amelie" goes unnoticed, I can throw popcorn at my T.V. screen and yell sarcastic remarks at boneheads of the Academy. Being a crumdgeon isn't an easy job...
