You can resist beauty, but you can't resist charm.

Priceless (2006)

Rating 3.50/5.00
Where 5 is a french film you can't forget even if you tried

Romance!

Yesh. Girl wants to marry a rich guy so she wears small clothes and frequents big hotels and does the same things to attract and entice. Guy is a waiter who the girl mistakes for a rich guy, sleeps with him and then finds out about him. She goes off in a huff. He pursues her. This is the love story you've not been waiting for forever...but it is funny and entertaining, doesn't get down to American style slapstick and retains its charm throughout.... I like this movie but Audrey Tautou doesn't have nice ti
 
So if you're down right disgusted 
and life ain't worth a dime
find a girl
who is not so overbearing and correct as audrey tatou

French cinema has made overacting a succesful profession - Look at Roberto Benigni, look at Audrey Tautou...you let them do what they want to do and they'll seem like kids in a school play. Example -
  • Roberto Benigini in his self directed Life is beautiful - what a terrible actor
  • Roberto in Down by Law directed by Jim Jarasmuch....what a great actor.
