Fall in love all over again.

Dirty Dancing was one of THE iconic films of the 80s. No doubt about it.

It had everything a teenage girl wanted to believe. They were Baby; uncool, family orientated but wanting to explore the world. Then came the family holiday, where they were introduced to the rougish dance teacher, and the rest is history.

And you thought something like this wouldn't ever come along again? Well you're probably right.

But I bet I can come close.

The 2010 film HeartBreaker (L'arnacoeur) is an example of French film at it's best. Alex (Romain Duris) and his sister MĂ©lanie (Julie Ferrier) break up couples for a living. But when a client asks them to break up his daughter Juliette (Vanessa Paradis) and her fiancĂ© (Andrew Lincoln), they have the challenge of doing this within a week. With not only do they have such a short amount of time to deal with, but also the fact that Juliette is one tough cookie. An absolutely fabulous and effortlessly classy film made complete with a superb cast and a humour us Brits will love. Definately in my top 5.

But what does this have to do with Dirty Dancing I hear you ask? The only key information Alex has is that Juliette likes Wham! and Dirty Dancing.

And that's all I'm telling.

So go on. Watch it.

And have the time of your life.
