Even though it's rude to answer a question with a question, I will anyway.
Do you smoke doobies? If so, you will enjoy this film immensely.

Thanks for everyone's feedback on this ... I'm thinking I'm going to pick it up after work tomorrow. Curious, though: is the movie entirely in French with English subtitles?

It is. I think there's an english language track but it's crap of course, don't bother with it.

The film is delightful... so full of joy and creativity... and the characters are very charming (if not realistic at all - but hey - it is a kind of fairytale after all). Visually it is amazing too.

It is all in French... just give it multiple viewing and soon you'll forget about the subtitles... then you'll be able to enjoy every detail.

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure there isn't an English audio track.

According to the back of my copy there isn't an English language track.

Also, I can't imagine anybody not enjoying this movie or feeling good after they watch it. If you enjoy foreign films, it is certainly worth a blind buy, especially at the low price that you can find it now.

I agree with Mr. Malloy - it's nothing special. In fact, I think it's a pretty annoying film, but I will admit that Audrey Tatou has a charming screen presence, for about 1/2 hour.

Nothing. You just continue on with what you're doing.

I bought it blind many months ago. I thought the cinematography was gorgeous. However, I thought the movie sucked. It was dull, trite, and predictable. That being said, I'm CLEARLY in the minority here... so more power to you.
