Overview
At a tiny Parisian café, the adorable yet painfully shy Amélie accidentally discovers a gift for helping others. Soon Amelie is spending her days as a matchmaker, guardian angel, and all-around do-gooder. But when she bumps into a handsome stranger, will she find the courage to become the star of her very own love story?
There was a lot to like about this movie – it is a quirky and very original story about outsiders, and in a lot of ways I could relate to the lead character. It may have overstayed its welcome by a few minutes but that didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment of the film.
