Love Me if You Dare (DVD review)

Love Me if You Dare (2003) in French with English subtitles. The movie's title in French is "Jeux d'Enfants," which translates something like "Child's Play." This is a very unusual film, a dark romance about a boy and a girl who, as youngsters, begin a game of "dare." The game continues as they grow older, to the point where it interferes with their lives and becomes increasingly dangerous. Some may find the conclusion to be a downer -- there's definitely no happy ending. Others will find it darkly funny. It deserves extra credit for being unique. Grade: B+
