Micmacs is more fantasia than violent revenge tale. And its pleasing curlicues--like a bouquet of spoons--linger long after the predictable outcome.

Jeunet himself describes the film best: Delicatessen meets Amélie. But we'd add that, while it's certainly breezy fun, it's not quite as good as either.

Micmacs is an inventive romp punctuated by the kind of quirkiness Jeunet has brought to all his films.

The sequences in Micmacs are contorted too: impressive and bendy and aggressively shallow.

Another beguiling if draining fantasia from Jean-Pierre Jeuet that harkens back to silent movies.

Jeunet maintains a firm control of his dreamscape creation, drawing on influences as varied as "Toy Story," "Children of Paradise," and TV's "Mission: Impossible."

Like "Amelie," Micmacs is visually dazzling, the ravishing images coming courtesy of "La Vie en Rose" cinematographer, Tetsuo Nagata.

Nearly everyone, and everything, in Micmacs is at one point or another guilty of trying too hard.

The A.V. Club by Tasha Robinson

At its best, Micmacs is a robust, enjoyably lunatic game. It's social commentary by way of a good Looney Tune.
