Great french film comedy, staring Audrey Tautou who also starred in Spanish Apartment; God is Great and I'm Not; da vinci code; Dirty Pretty Things, and my favorite A Very Long Engagement. She was great in this comedy, and she is always great. I think the only film she ever did that was main stream american cinema was Da Vinci code with tom Hanks, which wasn't a very good movie. But her French films and wonderful and I have seen them all at Cinemagic in Squirrel Hill - it is the best theater in Pittsburgh. Although expensive ($8.50). Anyway she plays a young woman who seduces older rich men for their money, she makes a mistake and seduces a hotel waiter (dressed in a tux) not realizing he isnt wealthy. Her lover finds out, dumps her, and she takes revenge by making the poor waiter buy her everything she wants until he is ruined. So now, both ruined, she begins to try to find more wealthy men, and he somehow ends up in a similar role with an older wealthy woman. So what is priceless? Love, of course. Beautiful film, great shots of Monte Carlo, the French Riviera, and lots of breakfast scenes in hotels and room service showing incredible french pastry and deserts - every French movie features food and wine!
