A cliche happy ending holywood movie about love and relationships. what would be the message of the movie: established societal institutions are against the happiness and must be destroyed? unhappy mariages exist and even kids are bad byproducts of these processes? Bury your love in the cement of a building to impress the audiences about the frozen love? A child toy box should be carried through all the life to be happy?A happy ending is the one that you get older together?A true love affair is like a vey old and big oak tree?if you think that all of these are familiar from the holywood cliches, than lets call the cat the cat and name this movie a bad holywood imitation.To me this is a movie from the era when the french movie was shocked was in the transition at the beginning of the milennium.

People could perhaps interpret this story as being childish and unrealistic..but that's where the screenplay holds it's head high and never lets you think for a minute so. Only french guys are capable of developing such beautiful surrealistic screenplays ( a la 'Amelie') which the Hollywood movie makers would never like to step on.The director influences our emotions so easily that we get hypnotized by the narration . The leads are perfectly cast with their chemistry makes our eyes glued to the screen whether it's a scene where they play with their love lives in a childish way or when they were fighting each other. Marion Cotillard beautiful as ever, steals the show with her performance that you can't take eyes off her.Beautiful movie with one of a kind of romance that you'd see for years to come. Don't miss this one.

There is too much to say!First of all,the masters of the filmmaking industry are the Americans,but the French left their footprints.The French have made many good films,but this is one of their best.The script was strong but the marketing was not enough to attract the attention of people worldwide and be a commercial success.Such a pity.The performances by the main protagonists were also good.I am pretty surprised that the film focused very much on the lives of the protagonists and did not show much of landscapes/attractions e.g Eiffel Tower,Paris,which showed that French people had a good potential in the filmmaking industry.I loved how plot was handled by this game called "Game" and how it deeply marked the lives of the characters.I really liked the fact that they showed two alternate endings(personally I preferred the first one with the couple getting immersed into the cement)instead of using the "american" technique of showing the one ending in the movie and cutting the other one which usually can be watched in DVD's extras.It is democratic because the viewer is given the option of choosing an end,thing that leads to his own personal satisfaction.

A game of dare between two friends spans across time, taking playfulness to new heights.An original love story that is as refreshing as it is creative, with fun elements of magical realism mixed in. There's nothing these characters won't do as they juggle the costs and rewards of their games, with the stakes raised as they get older...Charming and funny with great performances by all and a few surprises to make sure you're paying attention. Marion Cotillard wows yet again.I loved it! 8.4/10
