Heartbreakers is a romantic comedy about con artists. Just to ram the point home, magician and con movie veteran Ricky Jay appears.A mother and daughter team (Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt) make a lucrative living out of Weaver marrying rich men and then getting Hewitt to end up in a compromising position with them leading to a quick divorce settlement.After conning Ray Liotta and Hewitt thinking of branching out on her own, Weaver finds that the IRS (Anne Bancroft) have taken their saving and demanding more in back taxes.The two of them head out to Palm Beach to find a big mark for that giant payout and put their conning days behind them. They aim to reel in Gene Hackman a chronic smoker and billionaire that Weaver is desperately trying to seduce. Hewitt falls for a local bar owner but Ray Liotta swindled at the beginning of the film suddenly drops by.A film like this is framed by its subject, the confidence artist. You see Weaver and Hewitt pulling various cons as they go along, slipping on the floor to get good hotel suites, finding glass on food to get free restaurant meals. However in this movie you kind of guess there is a counter-con going on. Bancroft is not someone who randomly turns up at the beginning of the movie.As a romantic comedy it is so-so. Weaver looks good for her age and Hewitt wears sexy outfits. The film works better when Weaver tries to grasp dirty ole smoker Hackman and things do not go rather as planned.However the real show stealer is Liotta. We think he is going to be the hard nosed bad guy but puts on a relaxed comedy turn.

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.

Heartbreakers starts out with a simple idea. An mother and daughter con team scams men out of their money. One marry a guy, and the other seduces the guy to lead the guy to be caught. And the mother and daughter con team is played by Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt. At the beginning of the movie, Weaver marries an chop-shop dealer, played by Ray Liotta. Soon enough, everything is going well. Then, Liotta is seduced by Weaver's daughter, played by Jennifer Love Hewitt. And that leads Liotta into a divorce. After scamming Liotta out of his money and taking away his car, Weaver and Hewitt decide to head to Palm Beach, Florida. But, the movie quickly turn another direction. Hewitt wants to go on her own, but Weaver convinces her to stay together. When arriving in Palm Beach, the duo targets an tobacco dealer, played by Gene Hackman, who does a pretty good job. Meanwhile, Hewitt meets a bar owner, played by Jason Lee and quickly falls in love with him. What I liked about Heartbreakers is the chemistry between Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt. The chemistry between the two really holds the movie together. They are really fun and interesting to be see. To be honest, I really have a celebrity crush on Jennifer Love Hewitt. In this movie, I think she does a pretty good job, playing Weaver's daughter. She is funny and pretty throughout this movie. I laughed a lot during this movie and it may not be the best comedy of 2001, but the question I ask myself always when watching a comedy, Did I laugh? The answer that I have is Yes. I laughed during Heartbreakers. An good comedy. ★★★ 3 stars.

This movie has everything. Great actors, heist, working plot, well-written screenplay, believable characters, good soundtrack, just enough spice of humor and Jennifer Love Hewitt's sweet breasts.The screenplay was very well-written, not the typical romantic comedy. The creators of Liar Liar made a heist film with deep characters and plot.Everyone's performance was top notch, except the beginning of the film when Max and Page. Danny Elfman's work for the theme song of the film could have been better, it seemed too last minute. I liked the reference to "Come Fly With Me" though.
