Heartbreaker

An action-packed romantic comedy starring rising talent Romain Duris (THE BEAT THAT MY HEART SKIPPED, PARIS) and actress-singer Vanessa Paradis (GIRL ON THE BRIDGE). A smash hit in France, where it’s taken in over 4 million admissions, the film was also featured at the Berlin and Tribeca film festivals and was the opening night film at ColCoa Film Festival 2010.

Charming, funny and effortlessly cool, Alex is a professional Don Juan who makes a living breaking up couples with his sister Mélanie. Because business is slow, they go against their principles to break up only unhappy couples and agree to work for M. Van Der Bercq. Alex has only one week to stop the wealthy man’s daughter Juliette from marrying the man she is madly in love with. Alex is soon thrown into his own hilarious seduction “mission impossible” 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?

“With a bright and extremely good looking cast headed by Romain Duris and Vanessa Paradis and the splashy backdrop of Monte Carlo, ‘Heartbreakers’ mixes its ingredients into a frothy cocktail of Gallic risibility. Director Pascal Chaumeil makes a winning feature debut…Duris and Paradis make a charismatic couple.” – Kirk Honeycutt, The Hollywood Reporter

“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.” -- Kenneth Turan, L.A. Times

“A well-crafted romantic comedy [that] combines the glamour of ‘To Catch a Thief’ with the ruckus of a Ben Stiller movie.” – Jordan Mintzer, Variety
