Irène (Audrey Tautou) loves nice things and loves to have wealthy men pay for them. One night, she mistakes Jean (Gad Elmaleh), a poor bartender, for a potential client and spends the night with him. The next morning, Irène realizes her mistake and leaves, but poor Jean is smitten with her. Later, when a rich dowager mistakes Jean for a veteran gigolo, Irène agrees to tutor him in the art of fleecing wealthy lovers.

Critics Consensus

Priceless is a light, farcical rom-com that features sharp performances from Audrey Tautou and Gad Elmaleh.

[A] gruesomely unfunny and tacky comedy-farce.

There's no froth like French froth. And few French-froth-purveyors are as adept as Pierre Salvadori.

3.5/5

A supremely satisfying confection -- a French romantic comedy of the sort that ends with you standing outside the theatre with a dopey grin on your face.

Tautou finds a vulnerable side to her unscrupulous character, while Elmaleh... is a marvellous physical comedian whose tiniest facial expressions possess more humour than any number of pratfalls.

3/4

A bubbly, frothy, grandly entertaining romantic comedy as delicious as its champagne tinted cinematography.

A modern-day farce with charm and grace, and a pleasant change from the typical rom-com from Hollywood. Worth watching, even if the flawed characters cause you to cringe or feel uncomfortable.

This is an awesome movie! I absolutely love Audrey Tautou. She is an awesome French actress. I have seen lots and lots of Audrey Tautou movies and most of the movies she makes are awesome. This movie is definitely worth watching. I have watched it lots because it helps me learn French.
