Heartbreaker
A; Romantic Comedy
Dir: Pascal Chaumeil
Cast: Romain Duris, Vanessa Paradish
Rating: * (One)

If Heartbreaker were made in the'90s, it would have benefited from its quirky subject matter. However such films as There's Something About Mary and Hitch over the past decade have broken almost all ground on 'relationship experts', resulting in the characters in this film coming across as dejau00a0 vu.

A still from the movie 'Heartbreaker'

In fact Heartbreaker plays like a smudged inverted photocopy of Hitch, mixing a love expert-conman with a dash of charm and gratuitous amounts of pretty locales. There is absolutely nothing in Heartbreaker that hasn't been done originally in other films. What we get is the same old cookie cutter rom-com that would be considered an interesting failure, if it were the least bit interesting.
