Spurred on by her Romantics Anonymous meetings - a 12-step programme to help people shy away from being shy - Angelique (Carre) finds work at a local chocalatiers.
Her new boss, Jean-Rene (Poelvoorde), has a reputation for being mean to cover up his own horrendous bashfulness around women. We follow their atypical romance, willing them - and the chocolate firm - to make it against the odds.
With a taut script and using musical numbers to garner laughs, this sugar-rush romance never becomes overwhelming thanks to an undercurrent of absurdity. Like the chocolate at its heart, this frothy, funny and utterly charming romantic comedy, is sweet, a little indulgent and over all-too-quickly but leaves a lingering glow of happiness.
