Hollywood 1927. George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is a silent movie superstar. The advent of the talkies will sound the death knell for his career and see him fall into oblivion. For young extra Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo), it seems the sky's the limit - major movie stardom awaits. THE ARTIST tells the story of their interlinked destinies.

@thedude-abides -- Just finished this one, and I agree; it's overrated. I'm indifferent about the movie as a whole, but technically, it was good, and that's all that matters, to me. 2011 and 2012 are baffling years for movies, from the hype aspect. It's like, every other movie is overrated. This, "The Dark Knight Rises", "The Avengers", "Rise of The Planet of The Apes", "Warrior", and "The Help", among others. What gives?

@dan1 Right? I was planning on writing a review for this one after I saw it. It eventually fell through, but the tag line read, "A Film so Overrated, Words Simply Can't Describe."
I'm not sure if you've ever seen Singin' in the Rain or A Star is Born, but it's a complete carbon copy of both of those films, except nowhere near as good.
