Review by GV: Jean, a shy waiter working in a grand hotel, is mistaken for a young millionaire by beautiful, scheming adventuress Irene (Irene is a woman that goes around hooking up rich men to supplement her luxurious lifestyle). 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 Cote d'Azur. Quickly running out of money, he adopts his beloved's lifestyle, setting himself up as a gigolo and moving into a magnificent luxury hotel. Irene at last accepts this new Jean. She starts to give him advice, she grows closer and closer to him, not realising that love is working its subtle magic on her too.
I personally found the movie very enjoyable. It's a must for hopeless romatics. A very touching love story minus the fuddy-duddy love-is-in-the-air kind of romance.
Overall:
- clever plot
- simple but effective script
- gorgeous lead roles (Gad Elmaleh has gorgeous blue-grey teary eyes and Audrey Tautou is drop dead gorgeous!)
i'll give this movie a 4 out of 5.... *must watch :)
ps: shen went crazy looking at all the high fashion brands.
