Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

The movie is trying to be a sort of romantic comedy but in reality it's one of the most depressing films I've seen. It leaves the viewer with the sense of complete void, it reduces all the things we deeply care about to useless objects offered to be bought and sold to the highest bidder. There is no "happy end" to this story no matter how hard you try. And this is not intentional at all, it's just the people making this movie didn't have the right mixture of what it takes to make a good film. By chance, they created a monster without even realizing it. The main part is played by "Amelie" which adds insult to the injury. If she became a porn star I wouldn't be as disappointed. I wish she didn't need the money so much.

I did not pay much attention to the actors, I just chose it off my on-line movies and was I pleasantly surprised. Part whimsical, part romance, part adventure, and after I finished watching I realized it is the ultimate date night movie so I'll watch it again with my date. The actors are enjoyable, the scenery great, the pace keeps you engaged, the change-ups between 'couples' is fun and not that easy to track or guess but in retrospect it aall makes sense.

A nice setting on the Cote d'Azur, a delicious Audrey Tautou, a shy but sufficiently intriguing Gad Elmaleh and a good chemistry between them would be enough to make a comedy entertaining. And "Priceless" is indeed a pleasant French romance-comedy, let's add also some playful attitude, which remains playful till the end. The movie avoids too sappy scenes, and keeps up an enjoyable cheeky tone, with a consciousness of the nature of these relationships between wealthy men/women and their escorts, but wise enough to move the camera away when curtains are drawn or lights are turned off, simply because the mood of the picture has to remain lively, not serious, not even passionate. The ending is predictable, but it could not be otherwise, and you'll like also for its gentle and delicate progressing to that necessarily predictable finale. And if you look at dresses, well, you will fall in love with Audrey Tautou's splendid evening dresses...

Audrey Tatou is stunning, giving a complex performance as the sexy, conniving, vulnerable and ready to love Irène. The character is a gold-digger reminiscent of that other Audrey, Hepburn, in Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Priceless manages to achieve the same tension of elegance and decadence, playful banter and fraught undertones. There is something very dark about the scene where Irène, dumped by her latest rich beau, and left literally with only the bikini she has on, sits shivering at poolside while the sun sets and the place chances from bathers to dinner jackets. In an instant she goes from queen of her arena to a spectator. It is a complex tone shift few Hollywood (or British) rom-coms manage to attempt, never mind pull off.Gad Elmaleh as Jean is perfectly love-struck and versatile. Strong support comes from Marie-Christine Adam as the hard but equally self-deluding Madeleine, and Vernon Dobtcheff as Irène's first victim, Jacques. There is something quite grown-up and yet naively innocent about this film, with characters who can do the most awful things but never enough to stop you caring about them. Vivid colour palette, and slickly shot, the music works well, too. Well worth seeing.
