Customer Reviews: Showing reviews 1-5 of 63 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...13 Next » truly delightful French romcom October 13, 2008 DD 15 out of 15 found this review helpful This elegant adult romcom reminded me of the very best old classics, like Breakfast at Tiffany's and How to Marry a Millionaire. Morally ambiguous, this sharp and pointed film is highly amusing fluff about the vanity of wealthy voluptuaries and the gold-diggers who buzz around them. It is a total delight and the best type of French comedy. br / br /It matches beautiful locations with equally stunning views and stars an accomplished actress most have yet to discover. Excellent production with great performances and wonderful direction. br / Priceless film! October 8, 2008 saz (Scotland) 20 out of 23 found this review helpful I have just seen this film at the cinema and can't rate it highly enough. Even my partner who doesn't exactly share my love of French movies and came along under duress enjoyed it (helped I suspect by the stunning Audrey Tautou!). br / br /You can't help but warm to the characters despite their dubious 'profession' and the film is sharp, genuinely funny and warm without any Hollywood syrupyness or sexing up. A special mention has to go to Gad Elmaleh who was perfect as the endearing and enduring (and gorgeous) Jean. br / br /A genuine romantic comedy without the dreadful girly/meg ryan-esque/hollywood connotations if that makes sense! br /You dont have to be into French cinema to love this, but if you like Amelie, Audrey Tautou or just good movies then I'd recommend this. br / Charming, sassy, funny and romantic May 26, 2009 JD (Salisbury, Wiltshire United Kingdom) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful If ever there was a film to suit the word delightful, this is it. br / br /It really is spellbinding in a way that Hollywood romcoms rarely are (and I generally hate that genre). br / br /The two leads exude effortless charm and I think I watched the entire movie with a smile on my face. br / br /You could enjoy it for the acting performances alone and Audrey Tautou is simply mesmerizing as well as looking stunning. br / br /It would be easy to understate the genius of the two leads until you imagine these roles in the hands of say Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey - actors with nothing like the subtlety to achieve what these two can with a simple change of expression or flick of a smile. br / br /The chemistry between the leading pair is indeed faultless and it's credit to Tautou that she is at once ruthless and shallow, but still manages to be lovable and sympathetic. br / br /But it is the attention to detail that really sets this film apart. br / br /Clever touches abound and the storyline has countless fun twists and turns. br / br /On top of it all the film looks fantastic - wonderful plush surroundings, stunning clothes, stunning people. br / br /My advice is, don't worry if you don't like subtitles - Priceless is well worth the effort. br / br /You'd have thought they don't make em like this anymore and, in Hollywood you'd probably be right, but this is quite simply a gem of a movie. Don't miss it. br / br / Gold Diggers of 2007 October 25, 2008 Charles Vasey (London, England) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This is a really enjoyable French comedy of manners. As a plot it is tissue-thin but the principals manage to make it both funny and touching. br / br /Our heroine is dedicated to marrying a rich man, or being entertained by one (or more) in the interim. She mistakes the penniless waiter at a Biarritz Hotel for such a 'mark'. He falls for her in turn and pursues her to Nice where he becomes a gigolo himself. That rather tawdry plot is played with so much charm that it overcomes its own limits. The acting is spot-on, and the observation of humans in this predatory environment is likewise. The ending is very romantic but somehow not very believable. A real gem! November 3, 2008 Mr. L. Moreland (Winnersh,Berks, UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful What a wonderful film! Audrey Tatou (of Amelie fame) is an excellent actress and shines in this film. She looks stunning throughout. br / br /Audrey Tatou is Irene, a lady or questionable morals, who is a gold digger, meeting men and spending their money on a lavish lifestye - jewelery, clothes, hotel suites etc. One night she meets Jean, played by Gad Elmaleh, who is a waiter she mistakes for a wealthy man. Not wanting to reveal his true identity he pretends he is rich. When Irene finds out she is not pleased but by this time Jean is smitten and willingly spends his life savings trying to give her what she wants. Irene willingly takes it all and then dumps him when the money runs out. Stranded in a hotel with no way to pay the bill, Jean finds himself an older woman and soon finds himself in Irene's business!. As Irene teaches Jean the tricks of the trade she starts to realise that some things in life are worth more than money! br / br /This is a touching and very funny comedy. the actors are flawless and the locations are beautiful. If you like French language films or romantic comedies this film is a must, you wont be dissapointed! Showing reviews 1-5 of 63 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...13 Next »
