ThiefHott Too much of everything
ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!
Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
kosmasp Digital effects and camera tricks have come a far way. Someone most definitely took a page out of the LotR and Hobbit movies on how to shoot a normal sized person with others, for the prior to appear like a small person. And it's nice to see someone as charismatic as Dujardin struggling because of his size. You see it does matter after all - or maybe it doesn't? The movie will provide the answer.Public perspective may not be everything, but it's not shallow if you do care about the people around you and what you look like. Of course it is way more important to feel good about yourself in the first place. It that isn't the case, you are not even halfway there. It's nicely build up and while we go through the (expected) motions, we can still have fun watching this. Not a great movie, but a nice one ...
aviellsegall Honestly, i'm not fond of french movies BUT this one is so amazingly good !. I laughed, cried, jumped out of my chair - realizing how stereotyped I AM !. Everything and everybody in this movie is simply great!. Tempo, Shooting angles, music are great. Brilliant script, great acting and great directing.
writers_reign Yet another delightful rom-com from France that is all too easy to surrender to even as you are aware of the loaded dice. Just once it would be good to watch an improbable love affair in which the protagonists were ordinary people. Here we have a leading man - and by definition the romantic lead - who is only four foot six inches tall, okay he is attractive and charming and a talented - and rich - architect all of which make it that much easier for a normal-sized woman to fall in love with him (in reality the actor Jean Dujardin is five foot eleven and three-quarters so no actors were shrunk during the making of this movie) but how much more realistic if he were a charming cashier in a supermarket so that all he had going for him WAS his charm. The woman who falls for him is also too good to be true, not only beautiful but a successful lawyer. These caveats aside this is a real charmer with two excellent leads and yet one more beautiful French actress in the shape of Viginie Effira, who, to the best of my knowledge has not appeared in many films that played in the UK though I did see her in a lovely film in December last entitled A Sense Of Wonder. This is one I'll definitely be adding to my DVD collection. Catch it if you can.
