Title: Too tedious with no payoff
Product review: Audrey Tautou hardly says three words in this movie even though she is prominently featured on the cover. The movie is obliquely about her character, but she is on screen for ten minutes or so. It reminded me of a cross between Amelie and the Richard Linklater movie Slacker, but with none of the charm of the former and none of the character of the latter. Most of the characters are losers, but instead of being loveable, interesting losers, you keep hoping that one or more of them will get hit by a bus or something. The only one to root for is Audrey Tautou, but her fate is decided by some idiot throwing stones at a statue in a park, so there's no point in hoping.Most importantly: while this movie is rated R, it is for a pointless scene of unflattering full frontal nudity of a man, and the actresses who would have been quite appealing in some stage of dishabille remain fully clothed. That alone is reason to get your money back.
