This movie could not be more French. A professional mistress mistakes a hotel boy/bartender for a rich man, and all hell breaks loose. Before you know it. he's a professional "kept boy" (for lack of a better term). It is an absolutely charming combination of funny, sexy, and awkward. It was très fun.
Of course, I adore Audrey Tautou. This film gave her the opportunity to look downright sexy, as opposed to her usual adorable. Actually, the adorableness peeked through occasionally, and it worked perfectly for the film. The chemistry between her and Gad Elmaleh, who I really liked.
This is a great movie. If it was an American movie, it would be silly and trashy. As a French movie, it was frothy and fun. Great stuff.
Rating: 4.0
