Heartbreakers

A mother-daughter con artist team have made a living for years by marrying wealthy men and then setting them up so they can make the big score. Frustrated and wanting to go out on her own, the daughter (Hewitt) agrees to one last job fleecing an ill but rich tobacco billionaire in Florida, but complications ensue when one of their former marks (an amusing Liotta) returns to settle the score, and their current mark (Hackman) turns out to be much more than they bargained for. Often funny, regularly enticing, but uneven comedy has a charming and enthusiastic cast, but it loses energy and becomes predictable as it nears the finale. Not a bad way to pass the time though. **½

This film has nice cast and for me the most interesting was Jennifer Love Hewitt who's character (page) is smart, sexy, intriguing and sometimes even sincere. This film is about that old thing that probably all or at least the majority of men cheat and two main female characters, a mother and her daughter, can seduce men and take their chances in getting lots of money and wealth. I laughed many times during this film cause it has so many fun moments. The best thing I liked is that it ends with happy-end and Page finally finds a man (a bartender, who is in charge of his bar) who is sincere and true to her in his feelings and in his actions. By the way he is also rich enough. Not superb, but if you want something easy, fun and joyful it's a good film to entertain.

I personally liked this movie. Not because it has a good script, nor was it because it had Oscar winning performances by the leads(BTW..it has neither of the two). I liked this movie because it was a good way to pass two hours and not regret it later. Anyone who likes comedies and does not criticize every single detail in a movie is bound to enjoy this movie, just like Kate and Leopold which had a few problems but yet, was fairly good in the end. Jennifer Love Hewitt is great, so is Gene Hackman. I have always liked Sigourney Weaver, and this movie did not change my opinion of her acting skills in any way.It's a an interesting comedy with a good plot and funny situations. It isn't a classic, but a good movie for your comedy collection when it comes out on DVD.

How can people say that this movie is fresh and funny? I don't think that there was one joke in this pathetic movie that was new. Even the jokes that were remotely funny, ceased to be funny because they were so predictable. Another strike against it? All of the characters were unlikable. Sure, Jason Lee was ok, but how could he like Jennifer Love Hewitt when she was such a bimbo bitch. Sigourney Weaver is now trying to play sexy roles with this movie and Galaxy Quest. WHY? She wasn't good looking in Alien and Gorrillas in the Mist, and she isn't good looking now. But at least in those movies she could act. How many times must we rehash the same old boring and tacky jokes? 1/10

This female version of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" is extremely funny. Excellent, tight, laugh-out-loud script, with acting, direction, and editing to match. Zips along, every line and every scene a winner. In their zeal/greed to con men, mother-daughter team Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt keep getting themselves into impossible situations and then getting themselves out in witty, ingenious ways. Even the usual mother-daughter tension gets elevated to new heights. Everything in this movie is hilarious, including the small scenes and things that go on in the background, like Gene Hackman's parrot; Ray Liotta goes fishing; and anything Anne Bancroft does. Locations are as gorgeous as the cast.

This story of a couple of crooks, mother and daughter, who catch a lot of money from rich men by marrying them to the mother and then letting them to be seduced by the daughter in order to obtain a very profitable divorce is really a good story. Nevertheless it is told in a succession of gags most of them very unconvincing and not even funny except two or three which are really well succeeded. The whole story is saved after all by the great talent of Sigourney Weaver and Gene Hackman who play their parts with an excellent acting quality. Their talent is even somehow wasted in a comedy that is only tolerable and very far from good.

This is one of my favourite comedys ever, and I don't like very much comedy films. The thing with this one is that it has an original plot and realistic characters, ever if they are trapped in typical funny antinatural situations. The movie gives time for every character to have his own special moment and also has laugh out loud parts, and lots of just funny parts. I love Sigorney Weaver. She is great actress after all, and I like jsut watching her on screen, and Jennifer Love----- is just too damn hot, no offense there. Yes, is kinda good and I'd watch it again.
