Imagine if there was a job opening for the position of Heartbreaker. Your job scope is to break up couples but you have principles, you never break up a couple that’s happy. Your clients are mostly the family members of rich couples who believe the 2 of them are getting married for the sake of it and aren’t really happy.
This movie is an action-packed romantic comedy pairing two of France’s biggest young stars: Romain Duris and actress/singer Vanessa Paradis.
In fact it was the number 1 movie in France, the film was also featured at the Tribeca Film Festival. Charming, funny and effortlessly cool, Alex (Duris) is a professional heartbreaker who for a fee can turn any husband, fiance or boyfriend into an ex.
Remember that one rule i mentioned? Well Alex has one ironclad rule: He only breaks up couples where the woman is unhappy. His latest job will put that rule to the test.
The target is Juliette, a beautiful heiress who is set to marry the man of her dreams. With ten days until the wedding, Alex has been hired by her father to carry out his most daring seduction yet that risks him being caught by his ruthless personal creditors, angry exes, and the beautiful and independent Juliette herself.
But worst of all, will he discover to his own cost that when it comes to love, the perfect plan doesn’t exist? Oh boy….
I love this film and the dialogue is very good even though I’m reading the English subtitles. It’s witty, it’s charming and it’s something fresh from your usual rom-coms.
Danker out!
