Leave your thoughts about Heartbreaker.
| Boxoffice MagazineWade MajorA whipsmart twist on a particular kind of romantic comedy. |
| EmpireLiz BeardsworthA romantic-comedy that packs charm, humour and warmth in spades. |
| New York PostKyle SmithSplashed with Monte Carlo glamour, physical comedy and nimble scams, the movie rolls along enjoyably to its goofy but endearing big scene: an homage to "Dirty Dancing." |
| MovielineStephanie ZacharekAmerican romantic comedies have become so dismal over the past 20 years that it wouldn't be hard for even the Romanian film industry to show us up. I'm still waiting for the great Romanian romantic comedy (and hey, it could be out there), but for now, France saves the day with Heartbreaker. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranSlick entertainment is rarely as, yes, slickly entertaining as it is in Heartbreaker, a French romantic farce that is commercial cinema at its most successful. |
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreSweet and sunny (Lots of English language pop tunes) and laugh-out-loud silly and well worth seeing before Hollywood remakes it with somebody like Matthew McConaughey in the title role. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanHeartbreaker is like a caper comedy meets "The Bodyguard" - it's winsome and accomplished fluff. |
| VarietyJordan MintzerCombining the glamour of "To Catch a Thief" with the ruckus of a Ben Stiller movie, TV vet Pascal Chaumeil's French Riviera-set intrigue stars Romain Duris. |
| The New YorkerDavid DenbyHeartbreaker, which begins as a Hollywood-style caper and turns into a romantic comedy, is no more than a luxurious trifle. But it is also enjoyable for the vast difference in temperament between its two stars. |
| Chicago ReaderCliff DoerksenIt's fun to watch the habitually intense Duris relax somewhat in a light comedy role, and director Pascal Chaumeil gets good mileage out of the team's ridiculously elaborate con games. |
