In Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Micmacs, there's a character that builds little, simple robots out of salvaged trash. The creations are fun to check out although they aren't something that you'd like to spend more than a few minutes watching. Sadly, Micmacs is like those cute, little creations except you have to watch for 80 minutes.

The film is getting rave reviews which gives me yet another example of a film getting points for not being in English. Possibly the cutest entry into the revenge genre, Micmacs has no real soul. It's well-intended but has no heart. Almost everything is cute for the sake of being cute, from the character tics to the unnecessary camera moves, but all it accomplished was that it made me very sleepy. I wouldn't recommend this film.
