A Monster in Paris (2011)

3.5/5 Stars

I was hesitant to get into the film at first, but once I did I ended up enjoying it. A Monster in Paris is set in the early 1900s and draws a lot of its inspiration from silent and classic films of the era. The film focuses on the friendship between Lucille (Vanessa Paradis) and a giant flea who sings beautifully (Julian Lennon).

The film is visually gorgeous and the characters are charming. It is also a musical, and the numbers are engaging and fun. The final chase scene is forced however. It is a children's film though, and there are definitely worse things out there.
