Heartbreaker (2010)
5/10
Heartbreaker - brief
4 December 2014
Featherweight French comedy, laughs lighter than an over whipped soufflé. Man, his sister and brother-in-law operate a small outfit designed to break apart unhappy couples. Prevent the doe eyed innocent from marrying the cheat, the abuser, the jerk. All's fair. Only rule - they do not break up happy relationships. Before you can say, "that sounds ..." the man owes thousands to a loan shark and a very juicy offer comes from a gangster type to stop his daughter's upcoming marriage. The engaged couple is deliriously happy, yet the heartbreaker needs the money. Narrative not only thin and predictable, but more than a little creepy. To learn about the fiancé, a lot of time is spent spying and stalking. Cameras in bedroom and bathroom. Nothing is humiliating is acting shown, but if you think about it, someone was watching everything. Fans of Romain Duris, he has better films out there.
