Summary: lili? LILI????
Review: Why on Earth bother?M. Jeunet's folly? OR is this a tiresome continuation of the infinite RED and GREEN period [worked well in the previous excursions, but give it a break!] Pass this one please - and a comparison to Audrey Hepburn? [Audrey and Leslie Caron hold this patent.] Shame! This one is really unintelligible - regress to "Children of Paradise" - now that's original. BETTER still - do see "Lili" or "Story of Three Loves" - BY far superior to this over-indulgent little saga of fromage du jour......

Summary: The Best Film Ever.
Review: Okay... Let me preface this with a little bit about myself... I grew up loving foreign film, especially french films. When I was able to, I took french language courses, and got quite good. Then I visited france, or to be more precise: Paris. I was mugged, and it was overall a very bad experience. I hate Paris, I hate Parisians... Until my opinions are disproven, my feelings extend to all of france, all french, and all francophones in all francophonic countries. With all that said. I love this movie.
It is an absolute delight to watch. The only french film that I feel even comes close to this one in quality and originality is La Cité des Enfants Perdus. This film is a very heartwarming and visually astounding masterpeice. I was even able to forget that they were french, and that I was supposed to hate them all. I fell in love with the characters, and the atmosphere. If you do not see this film, your life, will forever be missing the most wonderful film experience to have ever been produced.

Summary: A Refreshing, delightful film
Review: Amelie is a thoroughly delightful film full of little surprises throughout. Audrey Tautou is a refreshing new discovery for me. The film is a welcome relief from the current fare available in theaters today. It's like going to a fine French restaurant and ordering a gourmet meal and good wine topped off with an excellent dessert. Thank you France. Thank you MME Tautou.

Summary: A film to truly cherish
Review: Pour moi, this film is the gift that keeps on giving. A sweet, romantic and inspiring modern classic, this French film is like comfort food. If a bad day is plaguing you, pop this one in and revel in its instant catharsis. Starring doe-eyed, instantly charming Audrey Hepburn incarnate Audrey Tautou as the shy but quirky main character, the viewer is instantly transported into her delicately colored, imaginative world. Amelie leads a quiet life, working as a waitress in a restuarant filled with dysfunctional characters, occasionally caring for her friend's cat and indulging in simple pleasures. Then one fateful day, her life changes forever. Upon finding a childhood keepsake and returning it to the owner, she becomes a secret guardian angel to the people around her. But while she can make others happy, she just can't seem to make things click with handsome stranger Nino (the talented and good looking Mathieu Kassovitz). The story plays out in a magical Parisan backdrop that only adds to the story's charm. The film is slow, sweet torture when it comes to the unfolding romance between Amelie and Nino, but when it gets to the climax, you can't help feeling amazing. Even when I watch this for the 100th time I get that heart-pumping, mind-blowing feeling of true love. So make a list of your likes and dislikes and indulge.

Summary: Boring Boring Boring
Review: Did I mention it is boring. BTW you must also speak French to fully appreciate how boring this movie is. It may just be a joke on the Americans.

Summary: A stylistic fantasy
Review: Amelie is the girl's answer to Fight Club. Fusing the style and energy of that testosterone charged film with the cuteness of a chick flick; this French film is something everyone can enjoy. This story of a lonely girl becoming a do-gooder and eventually doing good for herself becomes a beautiful fantasy. It is a feel good movie without the usual audience manipulation tricks. If any one thing is a negative in this film, it is the lack of an English dubbing option. The debate over which way is the best to watch a film in a foreign language, dubbed or subtitles, comes down to personal preference. I personally like to see films both ways, subtitled to hear the vocal tones and inflections actors give, preserving the film as the director intended; and dubbed so I can watch the visuals while understand what's being said. This film has so many wonderful visuals, at times I felt I was missing a lot while hurriedly reading the subtitles. It's unfortunate the DVD didn't come with a choice of viewing. This is a great film, though, and well worth a spot on any film connoisseur's DVD shelf.

Summary: I love this movie!!!
Review: If I was on a desert island and could only have one movie
on my island, I would take Amelie. It is so happy yet takes
you on an emotional adventure though a everyday world made
magical by an imagination of a young girl.

Summary: Super-Cool!!
Review: This movie is sooo cute! It reminds you of things you would do when you were a kid, things you wish you had the guts to do, and things you are glad hasn't happened to you. A good movie for a small get together or a date. It is a film that is easily understood by even the smallest of minds.

Summary: wonderful
Review: This is a wonderful film. Though this film has many special effects and an interesting directing style, it is the acting, the writing, and the solid direction that make it a classic. I especially enjoyed the character writing for the characters at the cafe where Amelie works! The techniques and especially the unconventional special effects that the director use may remind you of "Moulin Rounge". Not only do we see Amelie and her life, we see her mind too thru floating images of Amelie's thoughts that hover on the side of the screen. At first, I was afraid the director would overuse these techniques. Hapily, these images always had purpose in showing the impish nature of Amelie, and always made me laugh!
This movie was wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone. As for adult content, yes it has it, but nothing that an adult should be offended by... What more is there to say?
