Priceless

watched "priceless" yesterday w a fren, HY, @ PS...row 1, full house...well, no choice, as not all cinemas screen it...but we were glad that our necks were still intact after the movie...btw, the movie is in french, so we could only rely on the subtitles + the expressions of the actors...

"priceless" is abt the price of falling in love...the female lead, Irene, played by a beautiful actress, is a woman who's always looking out for her "prey" in order to live an extravagant lifestyle...branded goods from head to toe, the most expensive restaurants, hotels, etc...

while on a holiday with one of her rich old lovers, she met Jean (the male lead) and mistook him for a young millionaire when in fact, he's only a very poor bartender/waiter...she "fell" in love with him and had a one-night stand with him...but she went back to the old guy after that...n Jean had already fallen in love w her...

1 yr later, Irene and the same old lover went back to the same hotel for a holiday where she met Jean again...they had another 1-night stand which the old lover found out and dumped her immediately...Irene turned to Jean n lied to him that she has decided to be with him instead of the old man...soon she discovered that Jean is just a fake and dumped him the same way she was dumped... Jean, who was already hopelessly in love with her, chased her to another town and tried to please her using all his money...but his money soon ran out, and Irene still left him in the end n continued to seduce other rich old men...

The twist came when Jean was picked up by a rich widow and he learnt abt how to please women. Irene lent a helping hand n taught him how to seduce women...using lines like "i'd like to..", "i'd love to.." - unfinished sentences will make the other party panick...n other eyes expressions to seduce the other party...

As the 2 couples lived in the same hotel, Jean n Irene often crossed each other's path while still with their respective lovers...they soon grew closer n sooner than expected, irene realised that as she taught him how to seduce women, she herself is being seduced by Jean!

A romantic ending to end this romance...the female lead is simply gorgeous n the male lead is quite a nerd until he was "transformed"...while he was learning to seduce people with his nerdy expressions, it was very hilarious...made the whole theatre laugh... Thumbs up for this movie, definitely worth watching...a romantic comedy suitable for anyone...n i definitely agree with the review that it leaves u feeling good abt love n believing that the heart never lies although the wallet may be unable to keep up with love's extravagant tastes...after all, true love overcomes everything...
