Synopsis
Jean, a shy young bartender, is mistaken for a millionaire by a beautiful, scheming opportunist named Irene. When Irene discovers his true identity, she abandons him, only to find that 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 directs this sexy and thoroughly charming romantic comedy, which is a fresh reimagining of the cinema classic Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Reviews
"The lovely Audrey Tautou and sad-eyed Gad Elmaleh are perfectly cast as a gold digger and the poor sap who loves her, but the real star of Pierre Salvadori's larky, Lubitsch-esque farce is France's impossibly chic Cote d'Azure."
- Ken Fox, TV Guide
"Unlike Salvadori's previous comedy, 2003's"
- Noel Murray, The Onion (A.V. Club)
"It's a fun and attractive ride."
- Marc Mohan, Portland Oregonian
"Calls to mind Lubitsch's"
- Joanne Kaufman, Wall Street Journal
"A cynic is someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing, or so the saying goes, but the unadulterated joy Irene takes in throwing open the closet door to show Jean how this gold digging is done is positively infectious."
- Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times
