L'arnacoeur (2010) Heartbreaker

A little bit Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and a little bit The Valet (also French), but enough of it's own strength to stand alone. If this movie had been made in the US the perfect stars might have been Colin Farrell and Scarlett Johansson with Johnny Knoxville and Rachel McAdams as partners in crime.

But fortunately the is a French film will all that goes with that. Instead Romain Duris and Vanessa Paradis got the roles and the story is better for it. François Damiens and Julie Ferrier play the heart breaker's gang. Funny stuff.

Shot is some very exotic locations, including Paris (of course) and Monte Carlo, this is a good movie to see as well as hear. If you don't mind English subtitles, the French is actually quite easy to follow.

This story really does leave you wondering the boy will get the girl right up until the end. I like when that happens. And in a French movie you never know which boys and girls will end up with each other. That makes for fun storytelling.

Watch this with someone who enjoys a good romantic comedy with twists.
