Empire
A romantic-comedy that packs charm, humour and warmth in spades. - 80
Boxoffice Magazine
A whipsmart twist on a particular kind of romantic comedy. - 80
Variety
Combining 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. - 80
Movieline
American 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. - 80
Los Angeles Times
Slick entertainment is rarely as, yes, slickly entertaining as it is in Heartbreaker, a French romantic farce that is commercial cinema at its most successful. - 75
Entertainment Weekly
Heartbreaker is like a caper comedy meets "The Bodyguard" - it's winsome and accomplished fluff. - 70
The New Yorker
Heartbreaker, 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. - 50
Village Voice
There's trouble in Paradis-and in a script that prizes frenzy over any actual feeling.
