Just imagine…
Classifying women in relationship into three categories;
one: happy & contended, two: Unhappy & ready to deal with it and three:
Unhappy & unaware about it! The third category is what brings business for
Alex(Romain Duris), his sister Melanie (Julie Ferrier) & her husband, Marc (François Damiens). The trio use the method of
seduction to open the eyes of the discontented & unhappy women which culminates
into a ‘break-up’.
Alex, the break-up artist prefers to call himself principled,
why? Coz he takes up an assignment only if the woman is truly unhappy in the
relationship, just as he says- ‘he breaks only relationships, not hearts’!
The story takes a ‘cheesy’ French twist when under ‘life-threatening’
situation Alex is forced to take up a job to break the relationship of a smart
& beautiful heiress with a suave & rich businessman, that to within 10
days!
Juliette (Vanessa Paradis) is different; she is unlike the other targets he
has seduced before! She is smart, emotional, funny, bold & witty! None of
the rehearsed lines work, all the plans fail & it seems that the seducer is
getting seduced! The break-up artist has finally met his match!
The film is a light hearted romantic comedy, but it comes
with a terrible dubbing- most of the French jokes & humour seems to have
been lost in translation! The casting is impeccable & the performances flawless.
The back drop of Monaco definitely adds to the ‘romance’.
Watch it if you like ‘Katherine Heigl’ kind of rosy romantic
comedy flicks.

P.S.: Rumour has it that the Bollywood movie Jodi-Breakers
is based on this flick!
