Hearbreaker by director Pascal Chaumeil was recently nominated for Best Picture at the 36th Cesar Awards, the French equivalent to the Oscars.  I usually avoid this genre of film, but since it was nominated, I thought I would give it a chance and found it to be better than expected.  Slick and entertaining and with good performances, even from Vanessa Paradis who I usually find wooden.  It would not surprise me if Hollywood does a remake.

Too bad about Chloe missing out on Liam scenes :P

This has such a Hollywood premise. I agree, it's almost perfect for a remake.
