Heartbreaker 2010


L'arnacoeur


     The French title for this film is L’amacoeur.  Alex, his sister and her husband are employed by a rich father to stop the wedding of his daughter.  This is their line of business but in this case they just have ten days to do this job.  They only accept jobs to break up couples and only if the woman of the couple is not happy.  Alex charms them and they see that there is someone out in the dating world that is better than the person they are with.  Alex makes himself unavailable so the woman doesn’t fall in love with him. 
     Is this a film or a romance novel with a racy cover?  Just mildly entertaining and there are too many angles thrown in, if you don’t like one, maybe you will like another?  The ending can be guessed right from the beginning so no surprises there!  3* (This movie is OK)

105 min, Comedy directed by Pascal Chaumeil with Romain Duris, Vanessa Paradis, Julie Ferrier, Francois Damiens, Helena Noguerra, Andrew Lincoln, Jacques Frantz, Amandne Dewasmes.

Note:  Imdb 6.8 out of 10, 69% critic 67% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Amazon 4* out of 5* with 65 reviews.
Special Note:  At the time of the filming of this movie, Duris and Paradis were the two most popular actors in France.
