Deliciously Clever Comedy,
Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sigourney Weaver are absolutely terrific as mother-daughter con artists out to rob rich men of their money. After pulling off what was supposed to be their final heist before parting ways, Weaver persuades her daughter to go through with one more.
Gene Hackman is hilarious as William Tensy, their latest target, a chain-smoking millionaire who doesn’t appear to have much longer to live. Ray Liotta is fantastic as one of their past cons, who was truly in love with Weaver. The always energetic Jason Lee is the guy in love with Hewitt’s Paige, who is also beginning to fall for him.
It’s a wonderfully complicated love circle with some hilarious results. Hackman steals the show, and Weaver is quite funny and amusing, especially when sporting her Russian accent. Anne Bancroft delivers her usual good performance in an almost cameo role as Weaver’s mentor.
Heartbreakers is not as cruel as it could be, but always a delight to watch. Some have found the length a bit much, but it moves along at trip-hammer speed, engrossing all the way through. I feel it is a truly underrated comedy and one of the best 2001 had to offer.

|Original, fresh, clever, funny and spectacular!!!!,
I believe that this was a great-great commedy. The actors where hillarius with very good roles. The story was nice and clever and personally I enjoyed each and every line-dialogue that existed in the movie!! The atmosphere in the movie was great and I believe that the director did a talented and wonderfull job developing the movie as he takes the maximum out of every actor in the movie.
The romance within the comedy kicks in just about the right time and despite the high speed with which the movie goes on(its just a movie after all) I really loved the whole concept.
To all people who like comedies-romantic comedies you will certainly like this one more or less.
As for me this is one of the best comedy films I have ever seen and it came as a great surprise as I rent it from the video club not knowing anything about the plot or the movie.
Having seen some negative remarks about this film I am not a great film reviewer or anything and I judge this film without comparing it to other older ones regarding the plot etc. I don’t care if this film copied an older or it stole the plot, or the story was silly, of men are silly etc!! Simply this was the best (non-black comedy) romantic film that I saw the last few years that I liked and enjoyed each and every minute of it! Imagine that the second time I saw it I couldn’t change the channel and whatch the 3rd Harry Potter film that I had just rented (there goes another extra 2 euros for keeping the film for another day). Instead I watched the film that was on tv (sorry Harry)

|“Heartbreakers” has lots of “Heart”,
Most way through “Heartbreakers” it wants you to believe to that love sucks, life is a pain, men cheat, and the best things in life AREN’T free. And the odd thing is most of what is says is true lol. But, beneath the icy, cold exterior of “Heartbreaker” lies a movie that has a lot of heart and is actually old-fashion in it’s values. This is of course despite the fact that there’s a scene where Jennifer Love Hewitt tries to give Ray Liotta fellatio. The movie, many know by now is about a motherdaughter con team the marries rich men and then goes after half of their money in a divorce settlement whenever the “sucker” is caught fooling around with Page Conners (Jennifer Love Hewitt). As the movie starts we see Max Conners (Sigourney Weaver) walking down the aisle about to marry her 13th husband we are told Dean Cumanno (Ray Liotta). After they get what they want out of Dean they decide it’s time to move to Palm Beach, where they feel the stakes are higher. After getting a room for free, they go out to check out a long line of “victims”. They decide upon William B. Tensy (Gene Hackman). A very wealthy tobacconist. Now, while Weaver is trying to win over Hackman, Hewitt is going after Jack Withrowe (Jason Lee). The only problem is instead of just trying to con him she finds herself falling for him. Now, between all of this there are a lot of laughs to be had. And, incase you were wondering, no, I’m not going to reveal any of them. It’s at the end of “Heartbreakers” I found that I had enjoyed the movie. It’s at this point of the film that it becomes an old fashion comedy. And, that’s what I liked about this film. I thought it was a cute movie, and characters were fun to watch. “Heartbreakers” is not a great comedy. It’s not one of the best films I’ve seen this year. But, if your looking for some simple lite entertainment that will provide some laughs, and keep you interested, I think you found your picture.
p.s- spot Anne Bancroft in three scenes. She doesn’t have a “major” character, but, her part makes for some big changes at the end.
