Après Vous (2003)
8/10
Charming to the end

This is another French gem. I found it in the spirit of Amelie but maybe not as colorful and vibrant. Nonetheless if you enjoy Foreign films I'd well recommend this. The charm of the lead central characters is glowing. The Good Samaritan embraces fate as it should be. The story occasionally feels plodding and a tad clichéd and of course contrived, but in this genre its almost unavoidable. And forgivable. The acting of the lead 8 or so actors is marvelous. There are several laugh-out-loud scenes, a touching finale, and a peppy lead song to bolster the great acting. It has some real personality. This is one of the better films I've seen this year.
