The gold digger forgets the rules of the game. Love may be priceless, but the price you pay for love is your life. Nevertheless, the gold digger relents, the gold digger runs, to undo the damage she abetted when she taught a dopey bartender The gold digger forgets the rules of the game. Love may be priceless, but the price you pay for love is your life. Nevertheless, the gold digger relents, the gold digger runs, to undo the damage she abetted when she taught a dopey bartender the ways of a kept man. Trouble is, her pupil Jean(Gad Elmaleh) becomes so practiced, he's practically a lothario when she bangs on the door of his hotel room. Jean develops a taste for the good life at the same time that the good life loses its flavor for Irene(Audrey Tautou). That's why she runs. Irene needs to stop Jean before he loses his scruples. Tone, obviously, is everything for a film like "Hors de prix", in which its two leads behave badly. It's a delicate matter when Jean dumps his benefactor. He's not the same man we were rooting for in the middle of the movie, when the lowly bartender was wooing Irene, by allowing himself to be wooed by money. Their courtship is based on being co-conspirators. Now they have something in common. Now Irene starts to respect Jean. "Hors de prix" tries to pretend otherwise, but the finished product resembles a cad. Madeleine(Marie-Christine Adam) deserved better, even Agnes(Annelise Hesme), who like Irene, would serve herself on a silver platter to the highest bidder. By the end of "Hors de prix", the tables have turned. Arguably, Irene now loves Jean more than Jean loves Irene. But that's the French for you; a wicked lot, when it comes to love. American romantic comedies are never this complicated, never this amoral, or hillarious.… Expand

Priceless certainly won't change your life, it's not even at all original, but the script is sharp and the leads are engaging.

Cute date movie. Although there is humor, film as an underbelly of reality to it of loneliness, aging, and longing. Shots of Biarritz is as beautiful as ever. Makes you appreciate the Euros even more.

Ooooh, a French film. With Audrey Tatou in it. In French. With more than a wiff of Audrey Hepburn about it? You can almost hear a collective critical underwear moistening sigh of delight before the opening credits have finished. However, Ooooh, a French film. With Audrey Tatou in it. In French. With more than a wiff of Audrey Hepburn about it? You can almost hear a collective critical underwear moistening sigh of delight before the opening credits have finished. However, like the setting in real life, its all style over substance. I found Tatou's character thoroughly dislikable, despite the doe eyed actress' charms being turned up to near face-melting. Her single minded, self centered materialism combined with a cold hearted attempt to ruin her besotted chap left me cold and rather hoping that Elmaleh's well played nervous barman would hook up with the other woman instead. Still, it was diverting enough, and had a bit of wry humour thrown in to draw a few laughs. As a critic above has noted, its always the stunning locations that steal the show.… Expand

If you enjoy movies about unlikeable frenchies forming amoral relationships and doing boring, unfunny things - this is your film. Alternately, if you found Tatou simply too sweet in Amelie, watch this immediately afterwards as an antidote.
