Movie Review: Priceless

Taken from GV's website: Jean, a shy waiter working in a grand hotel, is mistaken for a young millionaire by beautiful, scheming adventuress Irene. When she discovers his lowly status, Irene beats a quick retreat. But love struck Jean has no intention of letting her escape, and pursues her to the Cote d'Azur. Quickly running out of money, he adopts his beloved's lifestyle, setting himself up as a gigolo and moving into a magnificent luxury hotel. Irene at last accepts this new Jean. She starts to give him advice, she grows closer and closer to him, not realising that love is working its subtle magic on her too.

The acting is fabulous. Audrey Tautou is beautiful (She's the girl from Amelie and The Da Vinci code). She's got the legs and abs every girl would die for. The dresses she wore, Wow. The shoes, Wow. The hotel, Wow. The parties, Wow. The love without a price tag, triple Wow.

This is the sort of lifestyle every girl longs to live without the pre-requisite to sleep with disgusting rich men though. Loads of shopping, beautiful hotels and beaches, chilling out and not having to work on a weekday afternoon but then again, how boring would it be to be living it out without meaning to life. I am glad that both of them found true love in the end but in reality, this will never happen. C'mon, what's for lunch?

Having said the above, this is a must watch movie.
