"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. The gag is that Alex Lippi (Romain Duris) is a professional heartbreaker. His job is woo a woman in a committed relationship into dumping her current boyfriend or husband. The method is seduction, but he does this not so much by making them fall in love with him as showing them how much better they deserve.
