Brilliant, Charming, Witty, Timeless; a Masterpiece of the Heart

Rating: 10/10 (13 September 2010)

Hand in hand with Fifi, my beautiful partner of more than two months, I waited in a very long line at the cinema for the chance to see this much anticipated and buzzed-about masterpiece. As part-time plus-sized models, we claimed the last three available seats in the darkened theater as we eagerly awaited a blissful barrage of trailers, whilst chatting and texting and munching on potato chips and leftover Chinese food.
I happen to be a big fan of television, especially American TV shows geared toward teens. I am particularly fond of the various Disney channels. The only reason I ever watched "My So-Called Life" was so my then-girlfriend could lust over the doe-eyed and effeminate Jordan Catellano.
Imagine my relief when I realized I had in fact already seen "Mr. Nobody" more than a dozen times on the Disney Channel. Virtually every scene has been meticulously reconstructed and re-interpreted from "That's So Raven," a fact easily concealed because almost no black characters inhabit the film.
I am glad to bestow upon this movie my highest 10 star recommendation if for no other reason than Jaco Van Dormael's under-appreciated genius simply demands it.
