ROMANTICS ANONYMOUS (Les Émotifs Anonymes)

The delectable comedy ROMANTICS ANONYMOUS tells the story of Angélique Delange, an unemployed but gifted chocolate-maker with a lifelong case of uncontrollable shyness that prevents her from properly sharing her confectionary talents. Jean-René Van Den Hugde suffers from a similar case of terminal abashment and runs a fledgling chocolate company in desperate need of a new direction. When Jean-René hires Angélique as the new sales associate, the two nervous Nellies must face their deepest fears. With the chocolate business hanging in the balance, they are forced to fess up to their hidden sweet affections for each other.

I thought that I would like it more than I did, but ended up thinking that I could take it or leave it, thus the 3 rating.

The French always seem to be able to pull of these pieces of fluff (e.g., Avenue Montaigne). Just when this film hit cute overload it redeemed itself. An enjoyable film with superb acting.

How do you make “anxiety” funny? ROMANTICS ANONYMOUS knows. There were many very funny scenes in the first half; the “touching” scene being the funniest. I felt RA slowed down toward the end, but the translated screenplay, comic actors, and that slow, savor-style of filmmaking all added up to a peaceful, unconcerned evening.

What a delightful film. The French have a way with these romantic, quirky movies. Thanks for bringing us this one, Andy. Characters were perfectly cast and the chocolate theme worked well. Loved the ending.
