"Priceless"


(last post deleted due to discrepancy of source. hah)

Last night, I attended a preview of this film. Despite having a bunch of chavs sat behind us ("LE HORS DE PRIXS.. BWAAHAHHAHA.. AWWWHHH NAAAAW.. IT REALLY IS IN FRENCH!!"), I really enjoyed it.

Set in the French Riviera, the film follows Irene (Audrey Tautou of "Amelie" fame), a young gold digger, trying to find that perfect old rich man that she can live off for the rest of her life. I say perfect, as, apparently, there is such thing as a flawed old rich man. She wants a man with no alimony to pay off, who can afford her 700€ underwear sets, Chanel shoes, and afternoon sipping of expensive champagne.

One night, when her Sugar Daddy gets drunk and passes out, she goes down to the hotel bar and meets Jean, a hotel employee working behind the bar, a point that he forgets to raise with her. Drunk on champagne cocktails, they hook up.


The film follows Jeans quest to get the girl, who, in the meantime teaches him her ways of gold digging.


A cute romantic comedy with an unrealistic ending that leaves you with a warm feeling inside.


Go see it if you can!
