Movie #223 "Love Me If You Dare" is a cartoon-like fairy-tale, a romantic dark comedy, and a movie I've never seen the likes of before. Truly original and not for everyone. About the games we play in life and in love, this film can be frustrating for some viewers who always want "the happy ending" to every love story. The games start out as mere pranks, as something to help the boy and the girl through tragedies in their early lives, and then they escalate into college and adult life. When the friends come to a crossroads of choosing to go on --------they continue to the detriment of their adult relationships. Most viewers would give up on them because they seem to carry "the game" too far -----but I think these viewers miss the point of the "ride" in this movie. The viewer ultimately has to throw out all of his/her expectations and ask himself if he/she is game. If the answer is yes, this film becomes such a stylishly unique experience! An eye opener. I enjoyed the ride, and I don't usually like roller coasters!!!

Ever since they were kids, Sophie (Marion Cotillard) and Julien (Guillaume Canet) have gotten their kicks out of a game where they continuously attempt to one-up the other with a chain of extreme pranks. When their relationship escalates to romance, the game turns harshly negative, and the two lovers' view of reality grows increasingly skewed.
