Jeux d'enfants is one of our favourite movie! It's a french romantic comedy directed in 2003 by Yann Samuell. The two principal actors are Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard.
Yann Samuell is a French film director and scriptwriter. He was a storyboard before becoming a director. He has first realised a few short films but Jeux d'enfants is his first feature film.
This story talks about two children : Julien and Sophie, both being 8 years old. Julien must live with his mother's disease who has a cancer and Sophie is rejected by her whole classroom because oh her origine. Naturally they make friends with each other and become inseparable. They decide to create a game (named cap ou pas cap) where one gives a challenge to the other and it's relative to tricking the adults and so on.
This will continue until they grow up but Sophie begins to be tired of these little challenges who are more and more cruel. On the contrary, Julien refuses to become mature and to recognize that they fell in love with each other. Finally they decide as a last challenge not to meet during ten years.
Both begin a new life ; Sophie is married with a famous rich footballer while Julien has a wife and two children. In spite of their great and comfortable life, neither of them can forget the other. But the day passes. Ten years later they meet again, start playing again their game and they won't quit anymore.
We have really loved this movie because it’s romantic and funny. We know since the beginning that the characters have to be together but they can’t tell each other that they are very in love. We can feel their emotions and at the same time it’s very funny because of the game, sometimes dangerous and cruel ! We can see their evolution from the beginning to the end. The end of the story is very surprising, you’ll see but so romantic, too.

Nice job, girls! A well-structured, complete post, with very few mistakes. Just a bit short in my opinion.
