Priceless

I agree with someone who noted that there are so few comedies out these days; technically, there are, but College Road Trip etc. stretches the term a bit. A French farce, Priceless, about a bartender who follows in the footsteps of the gold-digger he falls for is just what the doctor ordered. Audrey Tautou, best known here for The Da Vinci Code and Amélie, shows a flair for comedy here -- great spit-takes. Nice slightly amoral romance too. Took a few years to get to the U.S., but lot's of fun now that it did. Nice on the eyes too.
