If it is guilty of any crime, it's the same one as Juliette's poor fiancé: inciting boredom.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 28, 2019

It's always a good sign of talent when actors shine no matter the genre, and Duris... is in fine form in this light-hearted romantic comedy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 5, 2018

To fully appreciate the pleasures of Pascal Chaumeil's debut feature, Heartbreaker, it helps to know-and love-Dirty Dancing.

| Nov 12, 2013

This is fun, frothy screwball stuff that won't demand much more cerebral participation than reading the subtitles. But, like Duris, it should charm your pants off.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 16, 2011

A romantic comedy with a decidedly French twist ... There's bound to be a Hollywood remake, but you can be sure it won't have anything like the same élan.

| Mar 10, 2011

The formulaic feel of (this) enjoyable rom-com leads one to suspect the French are now making films with a clear view to being Hollywoodised.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 27, 2010

In being farcical instead of cute, Heartbreaker reveals itself as a welcome treat. It leaves you knowingly happy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 23, 2010

While it opens with a promising start, this quickly becomes a vacuous and formulaic romantic comedy.

| Dec 20, 2010

A romantic comedy that is charming and light as a souffle.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 20, 2010

A light and fluffy internationalised French rom-com, stripped of any quirkiness and with little heat generated between Vanessa Paradis and Roman Duris as romantic leads.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 15, 2010

At its core, the film fails to convince us

| Dec 15, 2010

A funny and utterly charming romantic comedy

| Dec 15, 2010

Heartbreaker really isn't terrible - there are a few moments of manic slapstick and the actors are charismatic even when their characters are boorish. But it's a movie for people who think movies are about wasting time.

| Original Score: 81/100 | Nov 28, 2010

"Unapologetically silly."

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 21, 2010

Heartbreaker is a French attempt at an American romantic comedy. At this endeavor it is a total success - in the sense that it's as trite and contrived as most of our romcoms.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 4, 2010

It ain't all "Breathless" and "Jules and Jim" in Paris, apparently; they can churn out glossy, formulaic entertainment like "Heartbreaker," too.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 29, 2010

Manages to be such a pleasant little souffl of a movie that it's hard not to like it on its own terms.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 27, 2010

Hollywood should sit up and take notice of how to revitalize the romantic comedy with the fresh and original spin from director Pascal Chaumeil in his feature film debut.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 22, 2010

"Heartbreaker" has some amusing moments and gorgeous settings (the Riviera), but it never achieves the smooth slickness director Pascal Chaumeil aims for.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 22, 2010

What "Heartbreaker" lacks in suspense it makes up for in charm, especially when Duris and Paradis start re-enacting numbers from "Dirty Dancing."
