For anyone who's not a Francophone tween girl, the film likely will be a tedious, precious exercise in indulgence.

Quirky and kitsch but this tween flick doesn't quite hang together.

It's a commercial French picture of the kind that generally doesn't cross the Channel well: a bit DayGlo, a bit cutesy, a bit fey.

Quirky French subtitled film about growing up has profanity.

By the time Lou! has finished you feel like you've downed an entire packet of popping candy and washed it down with cherryade.

Lovely gentle little film sadly impaired by unnecessary use of profanity.Performances are uniformly strong (Lola Lasseron is wonderful ) and imaginative sets and art direction.Camera and quick cutting could have slowed down a bit and let the scenes breathe a bit.

As someone who didnt grow up with the delightfully quirky comic, the live-action movie is a wonderful way to dive into the world of Lou!. The movie itself is much like a teenage version of Amelia. Some of the actors are a bit stiff but the antics of the rest of the cast more then make up for it. Overall, the movie is a fun-filled, whimsical and light, which if you let it, will put a smile on your face.

Teen version of Amelie, but so stuffed with whimsy and cute camera quirks that it overlooks the necessity for a decent story featuring anything meaningful.
