Against his better judgement (the case doesn’t strictly meet with his usual criteria), but made necessary by financial need, Alex, a man who offers a service to break up relationships by seducing the female party, agrees to come between a beautiful heiress and her handsome English fiancé, but matters are complicated somewhat when he gradually finds himself falling for her, in Chaumeil’s charmingly played and sporadically entertaining yet horribly predictable and decidedly lightweight rom-com.
