Review of Priceless

Priceless (2006)
6/10
Humdrum formula
15 January 2024
Yes, we all know Audrey Tautou is beautiful and can act and Gad Elmaleh has style but "formula is formula." I admit that we like to see the same formulas over repeatedly; some movies are just fun to watch even when we know the general just of the story and the outcome. However, there comes a time when trying to remake a classic can get boring. This is one of those times. Perhaps it is just because we're spending more time watching subtitles. Then again, I have the feeling that everybody is just going through motions.

The general story is, of course, a gold digger who mistakes somebody for being rich. This film expands on this mistaken identity and allows the tables to be turned with a few standard twists. I suggest that if you like this type of film that you really should watch Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) as it has the same feel but more depth.
