Movies that truly have the capacity to delight - that amuse and lift the spirits and create a warm feeling - are rare. "Romantics Anonymous" is one of those rare delights.

Guardian

In order for the script to crackle and the heart to move, you need to suspend more disbelief that proves possible here.

It'll be too light and frothy for some tastes, but it's bound to leave you with a warm glow.

The concept of a romantic comedy tinted with melancholy works very well within the context of quirky French cinema.

Romantics Anonymous is a feel-good charmer, aided by little touches such as a retro soundtrack and slightly unexpected song and dance routines.

Rated: 3/5

Flighty, feather-light French romantic comedy...A very pleasant treat.

Rarely in the past 15 years have I run across a rom-com so curiously heartwarming, funny and genuine as this. It is probably my most often recommended foreign film.

A delight. Thoroughly charming and entertaining. If you approach romantic comedies with an overly analytical and intellectual attitude, as some of the "professional critics" here do, you may not like it. But if you enjoy watching two actors with real chemistry play out a delightful romance you will love it. Like a mouth watering piece of chocolate you have to be open to just letting go and enjoying the taste of it. Some of the critics here seem to want to cut the chocolate open with knife and fork and then call in the CSI for chemical analysis and comparison. They've lost the ability to just lose themselves in the delicious taste of it.

Adorable, precious, and a perfect embodiment of what I think is the biggest issue of our time. Fear. Luv luv luv this film.

Wears out it's welcome by the end, in spite of not being a very long film, but mostly it's a sweet little story about two socially awkward people getting together. The chocolate making side to the story is nice and had me depressed to be on a diet and a budget!

It was a bit quirky, but very sweet and (for us super shy people) totally relatable. Several scenes made me laugh out loud, and the ending made me go "awwww!" I loved it!
