Movie characters don't have to be nice, but they do need to be interesting. Nastiness without intrigue translates, in whatever language, to 'annoying.'

Overview
As adults, best friends Julien and Sophie continue the odd game they started as children -- a fearless competition to outdo one another with daring and outrageous stunts.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
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.
Melds the magic of childhood memories with the pain of unrequited love.
There's an outlaw fascination in watching two people for whom going too far is never far enough.
The problem is, the characters eventually start to seem like a couple of idiots.
