Plot Summary
Part romantic comedy and part black comedy, director Yann Samuell's 2003 feature film debut Jeux d'Enfants (Love Me if You Dare) follows the exploits of two young would-be lovers as they go from childhood to adulthood with themselves as the greatest hurdle to their own happiness. Julien and Sophie first meet at the age of eight when both are undergoing great trauma: Julien is watching his mother die and Sophie has become the focus of intense hazing at the hands of some fellow schoolmates. On one fateful day, Julien decides to stick up for Sophie and pulls a practical joke on her tormentors. Henceforth, the two embark on a close friendship that revolves around daring each other to pull increasingly audacious practical jokes, rather than on the seemingly obvious intimate relationship they seem dangerously close to discovering at any moment. Jeux d'Enfants was selected for inclusion into the 2003 Toronto International Film Festival as well as that same year's Telluride International Film Festival.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: It stretches to the snapping point the French tendency to forgive lovers' transgressions, while presenting as love interests a pair of cretins whose casual cruelty and immature antics render them entirely loathsome.
Rotten: Someday, when Samuell finds something to say, he may make a great movie. For now, he's only playing games.
Fresh: It is not to be missed.
Fresh: Love Me If You Dare is far from everybody's cup of latte, but for those willing to take that dare, it has plenty to chew on.
Customer Reviews
THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE
I randomly saw this movie on the Sundance channel and I fell in love with it right away. Everytime I see this movie I notice something new and the cinematography is amazing. If you want the hardcopy you can find it on Amazon.com for pretty cheap. Just so you know (someone complained earlier...) it is IN FRENCH, but there are subtitles. I don't speak a word of French, don't even notice the movie is in French while I'm watching it. This is an amazing movie, and I'm SO HAPPY they have it on Itunes.
tragically beautiful
If you are a person who is into delightfully lighthearted romantic movies with a deeper meaning, this movie is for you. From the beginning, Julien and Sophie's love for one another is expressed in a game of dares. They go back and forth passing a carousel music box amongst themselves, ultimately seeing one another less and less. Married to other people and with surmounting obstacles coming between their childhood dream, they decide to make the ultimate sacrifice: together. A beautifully woven storyline of true love and the risks one needs to take to get there, Love Me If You Dare is a classic for all time.
BEst Movie ever
This is my favorite movie of all time. It makes me cry and laugh every single time and its the perfact combination of dark comedy and romance. and its in french which makes it twice as good! i love this movie its a good buy. i have seen it fully probably 15 times.
