A romantic-comedy that packs charm, humour and warmth in spades.

Heartbreaker, which begins as a Hollywood-style caper and turns into a romantic comedy, is no more than a luxurious trifle. But it is also enjoyable for the vast difference in temperament between its two stars.
Combining the glamour of "To Catch a Thief" with the ruckus of a Ben Stiller movie, TV vet Pascal Chaumeil's French Riviera-set intrigue stars Romain Duris.
Here's a film that definitely wants to play Hollywood dress-up.

Slick entertainment is rarely as, yes, slickly entertaining as it is in Heartbreaker, a French romantic farce that is commercial cinema at its most successful.
Village Voice by Melissa Anderson
There's trouble in Paradis-and in a script that prizes frenzy over any actual feeling.
Heartbreaker relies far too heavily on the charm and attractiveness of romantic leads whose chemistry is lukewarm at best to sell a groaning collection of rom-com clichés.
Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
Heartbreaker is like a caper comedy meets "The Bodyguard" - it's winsome and accomplished fluff.

American romantic comedies have become so dismal over the past 20 years that it wouldn't be hard for even the Romanian film industry to show us up. I'm still waiting for the great Romanian romantic comedy (and hey, it could be out there), but for now, France saves the day with Heartbreaker.

A whipsmart twist on a particular kind of romantic comedy.
