Review of Priceless (2006) by Ruth M — 17 Jun 2008

Nice to see Audrey Tautou in a different role- she succeeds in ditching the cute, doe-eyed innocent, to become a beleivable money-grabbing opportunist.

Elmalech manages to hold his own against his leading lady to give a captivating and amusing performance as Jean, the love-sick waiter come rookie schemer.

Very enjoyable film, but a part of me cant help but think that one of the reasons this film succeeds is due to the fact that its in French! If it was a Hollywood made film, you just know it wouldn't be anywhere near as charming!

I'm not sure whether that's a criticism or a compliment.

But, generally I liked it!
