Heartbreaker

Romain Duris and Vanessa Paradis are an interesting mixture. She currently seems to pick better films than her partner Johnny Depp. And the film is sometimes funny and sweetly quirky in that charming French way. It's no Amelie, but it's not bad. Romain Duris is a very good actor. His character is convincing and charming enough, but Vanessa Paradis is a bit irritating. She's incredibly disturbingly thin and her performance is a bit strange and distracted, but in the end she manages to turn it around and add a bit more depth to the whole thing. It helps that her character likes Dirty Dancing, blue cheese and George Michael. The plot is kinda thin, of course she is rich and he's in debt and the camera is slightly dull and average. Sometimes it looks like a long ad for the obviously beautiful and very tidy Monaco. But it's good enough for a fun night out with lots of popcorn.
