Priceless (2006)

 
 
Charm is more valuable than beauty. You can resist beauty, but you can’t resist charm. Irène (Audrey Tautou) knows this very well. She uses her charm to seduce and taking advantages from older and very wealthy men so she can live a comfortable life. One day she meets Jean (Gad Elmaleh), a bartender at the hotel whom she thinks a rich man. Later they spend a romantic evening together, until she discovers he's broke and leaves him. But Jean doesn’t give up, he’s falling in love and will do everything to get her. This is a light romantic comedy, the plot is simple, clichés and predictable and yet it’s entertaining thanks to the sharp performances from both lead casts. Overall, Priceless or Hors de Prix is a fun decent movie.
