Top CriticPriceless is a Hollywood remake waiting to happen. It's almost guaranteed.
04/24/08
Top CriticBittersweet comedy's perfectly chosen multigenerational cast ably demonstrates that if money can't buy love, it sure can purchase lots of obsequious service from four-star hotel staffers and costly goodies from laughably pricey boutiques.
04/18/08
Top CriticThe outcome is never much in doubt, but Salvadori artfully choreographs the endless table turning, and the Moroccan-born Elmaleh capitalizes on his striking resemblance to Buster Keaton with a similarly comic composure.
04/18/08
Top CriticThe appealing actors make up for the fact that they're portraying prostitutes. They are putting their bodies up for sale, but saving their hearts for true love. After all, that's the only thing that's priceless.
04/17/08
Top CriticPriceless is a bauble -- an art-house diamond made of paste that somehow still gives you good glimmer for the money.
04/11/08
Top CriticThe thing about a certain grade of contemporary French comedy, of which Priceless is a fine example, is the quality of the playing style. Nobody forces the situations, even the broadest ones.
04/10/08
Top CriticStop laughing long enough, and you'll see that it's a picture about compromised lives and love for sale. But no one who watches Priceless will stop laughing for that long.
04/04/08
Top CriticThe routines may have been done a thousand times, but somehow they seem funny all over again.
04/03/08
Top CriticThis broadly amoral take on Breakfast at Tiffany's suffers from a serious case of who-should-we-care-for: He's a sap, she's a soulless vamp, their patrons are either cruel, self-deluding or both.
04/03/08
Top CriticUnder director-writer Pierre Salvadori, Priceless provides lightweight, predictable entertainment that will make you yearn for the Tautou of yesteryear.
03/28/08
Top CriticThe perfect frothy fantasy for the obscene wealth gap era, Priceless (Hors de Prix) stars a gorgeous, cellophane-thin Audrey Tautou as Irčne, a dedicated gold digger who finds herself accidentally mixed up with a penniless bartender.
03/28/08
Top CriticTawdry? Not for a minute. Credit a subtle and souffle-light script.
03/28/08
Top CriticForget reality shows exalting American gluttony and savor the more refined amenities on the coasts of southern France in the cynical Gallic comedy Priceless.
03/28/08
Top CriticPriceless begins as standard, unconvincing, assembly-line French farce and ends as a cop-out, feel-good rom-com. In between, it develops into something considerably more interesting.
03/25/08
Top CriticPierre Salvadori’s Priceless has been heralded as a French box office hit, which suggests that the French have become as corrupt and materialistic as some commentators insist that we are.
