Foreign Movie Review: Priceless

Foreign Film (France)
Priceless/Hors de prix

Rating: 4.5/5; Really liked it, would watch again. Add to your collection worthy. One of my favorites.

Release date: 2008

Synopsis:
Irène (Audrey Tautou), who makes a fortune sweet-talking rich men, puts the moves on klutzy Jean (Gad Elmaleh), unaware that he's just a hotel bartender. But by the time Irène realizes her mistake, Jean is hopelessly smitten with her.

Thoughts:
This is one of those movies that's predictable (not too predictable) and like so many other movies out there yet you can't help but love it anyway. It's such a cute romantic and charming French movie. Throughout most of it my heart broke for poor Jean and I wanted to hurt Irene for being so heartless! She's a gold digger so what can you expect though right?
This is one of those movies you should rent to be entertained. You might be surprised at how much you like it that you may even want to buy it. :)
I'm a huge fan of Tautou ever since Amelie (she's so pretty and the story was aww inducing) so I jumped at the chance to watch this one and I'm very glad I did. I never knew of Elmaleh who's apparently a comedian too, but now I have a crush on him it seems. I like him and I loved his character Jean. It gave me such a happy, giddy, satisfied feeling once it was over which is one of the main reasons I loved it so much. Now go watch the cuteness and pleasantness that is Priceless and enjoy.

I highly recommend you DON'T watch the trailer because it tells you too much, but if you're really curious then here it is.

He's so cute!
