Priceless (2006)

Priceless is a memorable French love story about Irene (Audrey Tautou), a sexy Gold Coast gold-digger, who mistakes the fumbling hotel bartender Jean (Gad Elmaleh) for a rich jet-set businessman. Their dalliance eventually costs her a liaison she has built over two years with a rich old sugar daddy, three months from a marriage where she would be "set for life." She sets her mind (and hooks) on a series of other rich old men but her heart is not in it whenever she sees Jean at the five-star hotel she frequents in Monaco. Meanwhile, Jean has been picked up by a rich attractive widow as Irene coaches Jean (who I would call the French Hugh Grant) in how to play his benefactress for as many gifts as possible: "You have to get everything you can get. We have the power of youth and charm." However, Jean realizes he must choose what he wants and why -- expensive gifts or an impossible love. Priceless is a sweet romantic comedy with a steady stream of situational mishaps that the couple must negotiate to get away with their harebrained schemes and find time to be together. You also get to see the daily routines of life in some of the world's best hotels as employees make beds, provide turndown service, prepare food, and so on. 4.5 stars.
