Yep, it's on Netflix. I just finished watching it, and it's a great movie. I hope you like a blend of Surrealism, Existentialism and subtle to not so subtle humor. Also, I hope you speak French.....(although there are subtitles for those who are French impaired).

Yes, it's a Chick Flick, but so well done that even guys will like it.

yeah, my wife loves that movie. I find it a bit tedious, but our tastes differ quite a bit. Maybe if I were to see it for the first time now I'd like it more as I've gotten to like more of the quirky things, but my opinion is sort of set on it by this point.

I thought it was ok. Although I could watch Audrey Tautou in most anything.

I loved the movie. And I could watch Tautou fold laundry. Tom you should check out City of Lost Children.

Well as long as we're on French films how about Jean de Florette and Manon of the Spring.

Oh come on, just because it doesn't have a shirtless bodybuilder with an AK-47 doesn't automatically mean "Chick Flick."


And besides, all of Jeunet's movies are awesome.

I really liked her in Hors de Prix as well. Quite fun and humourous.

You cannot deny that it would have been way better with Arnie and the Predator in it though

This is one of my all-time favorites. There are a couple translation issues on the DVD subtitles, but they fixed them in the Blu-ray release.

One of my Top 10, so sweetly romantic...

Hey I know lots of men who love this movie, too...:)
