Romantics anonymous

Jean-Rene is the boss of a chocolate factory and Angelique is a talented chocolate maker. They are both emotionally challenged people. Drawn together through a shared passion for chocolate, Jean-Rene and Angelique fall in love, but neither is able to express how they feel. Sadly, their crippling shyness is driving them apart. But eventually, they manage to overcome their lack of self-confidence, and risk baring their true feelings.

Review by Library Journal Review

A painfully shy chocolatier (Isabelle Carre, Private Fears in Public Places) finds her kindred spirit in an inhibited chocolate maker (Benoit Poelvoorde, Coco Before Chanel) who needs fresh talent to keep his sagging business from a meltdown. In his lightly charming romantic comedy, filmmaker Jean-Pierre Ameris manages to keep the douce proceedings from getting cloying by injecting affable humor into the mix. Audiences with a taste for the filmic equivalent of a "gentle read" will likely scarf down this low-cal confection. (c) Copyright 2012.
