If you love romantic comedies, and french movies I am sure you're going to love this lovely movie with Audrey Tatou. The beautiful, scheming adventuress Irene (Tautou) meets Jean (Elmaleh), a shy waiter working in a grand hotel, and mistakes him for a young millionaire. She skips out from her sixty-something sugar daddy Jacques (Vernon Dobtcheff) to spend the night with Jean. However, when she discovers his lowly status, Irene beats a quick retreat. But love-struck Jean has no intention of letting her escape, and pursues her to the French Riviera. Quickly running out of money, he finds himself a loaded widow (Marie-Christine Adam) and takes up residence in a magnificent luxury hotel. This is a great break away from Hollywood comedies/romance movies these days and it gives me great relief that great films like this still exists! I love Audrey Tatou's acting-ALWAYS. She made me hate her guts in the beginning, then sympathize with her, feel happy for her, as she discovers and attempts to claim her love. Overall this is a great film about relationships, discovery, interaction between realistic people, human values that are often taken for granted and forgotten these days, altogether stringed with sweet icings of hysterical laughters from easy humour, not to mention loveeee and romannceee!!
