I definitely would've rated this higher at the time I saw it, almost twenty years ago, but this time it felt very cliched, if mildly entertaining.  My favorite aspect was the use of color, from shades of chocolate brown to Vianne's signature red.  This is based on the Joanne Harris novel and directed by Lasse Hallström.  Note that I'm not using the "romance" tag, because Depp's character doesn't show up until almost halfway through, and this is proof that two attractive people (him and Binoche) will not necessarily have chemistry together.
