Romantics Anonymous (2010)

This is it.  This movie is what I love about French romantic comedies. Painfully shy man meets overanxious woman.  They share a passion for chocolate and each other.  They promptly and appropriately fall in love.  Problems ensue (this is the French part) when they can't remain calm enough to build a linear relationship.  Instead they have one in fits and starts. Angélique (Isabelle Carré) is a gifted chocolatier who is so self-effacing that the merest compliment makes her faint--literally. To cope with her fear, she sings “I Have Confidence” (from “The Sound of Music”) to herself and attends 12-step meetings for people with social-anxiety disorder.  She is so timid she doesn't admit that she is the chocolatier everyone wants to find. Her male counterpart, Jean-René (the Belgian comic actor Benoît Poelvoorde), is the middle-aged owner of the Chocolate Mill, a failing enterprise whose products are deemed old-fashioned by those in the know. Jean-René is afraid to answer his own telephone, sweats so much when he is with Angélique he has to change shirts frequently, listens to self-help tapes at night, and sees a therapist who pressures him to take action--which is the plausible piece of how these two get together. It is typically French in that the two main characters are incredibly likable, and everyone wants them to get together.  We know they will, but the movie is a romp of a tale about how that happens.  I just loved it.
