Sentimental claptrap
Sorry Amelie really makes me bristle. I'm no fan of Hollywood blockbusters either, but thought Amelie was appalling. I walked out of the cinema after 20 minutes, leaving my companion alone - there was no way I was staying to watch such almighty crapola. And it always comes up in conversation - people seem to define themselves by their love of this film and it gets on my tits no end. I'm in my element watching good French cinema such as what Truffaut and his gang made, but would rather watch "dude, where's my car" or almost anything rather than flippin' Amelie.

Er.. just my opinion!
