(read more) Jean (Gad Elmaleh), a shy young bartender, is mistaken for a millionaire by a beautiful, scheming opportunist named Irene (Audrey Tautou). When Irene discovers his true identity, she abandons him, only to find that a love-struck Jean has no intention of letting her get away. Jean's comical attempts to gain her affections gradually evolve into setting himself up as a gigolo at a luxury hotel, until Irene finally starts to warm to her persistent, persuasive suitor. Against the wildly atmospheric backdrop of the south of France, Pierre Salvadori (APRES VOUS) directs this sexy and thoroughly charming romantic comedy, which is a fresh re-imagining of the cinema classic, BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S.

The French still know something about writing screenplays....and that's probably why Hollywood keeps on stealing them... A delightful romantic comedy with all kinds of unexpected twists and turns. Audrey Tautou shines, as ever.

I actually found the whole concept of scrounging of rich people pretty thin and the two main characters were quite annoying. Maybe I take the moral high ground too much but what you're basically watching is prostitution with a little bit of love involved. It's nothing new to the movie world.
French cinema is always refreshing after so much American stuff, and I absolutely love the story. Sure, it's Breakfast at Tiffany's, but Audrey Tautou + Gad Elmaleh is hard to beat.
utterly delightful french romantic-comedy. audrey tautou is as lovable as ever... but her co-star, gad elmaleh, is very nearly just as lovable ;) very well shot too.
