My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

L'arnacoeur [Heartbreaker] (2010)

I'm becoming a fan of French romantic comedies and this one is a pretty good one worth checking out.  Romain Duris plays Alex a charmer who gets paid to womanizes brides-to-be before they make a poor decision and marry the wrong guy.   Helping him is his sister and her techno-savy husband.   All is great until he is forced to woo a woman who really is in love (something he doesn't do) because of money he owes.   And as you can imagine, of course, he starts to fall in love with her too.  Funny, charming and certain to be remade by Hollywood, check it out and enjoy.  Grade: B+
