This movie is laugh-out-loud hilarious! Sigourney and Jennifer are the perfect, scheming mother-daughter duo. Ray Liotta was great as the crooked, but head-over heels, love interest for Sigourney, while Gene outdid himself as the cough-out-a-lung millionaire she tried to marry. I even loved the maid!

But, I must give the biggest kudos to Jason Lee (My Name Is Earl) as the heartthrob who steals Jennifer's heart and gets her to change her evil ways.

This movie deserves nothing less than 5 stars since it did something which very few "comedies" do for me - it allowed me to laugh out loud! You won't be disappointed.

I love this movie the first time I watched it...In 2001, it was very original and it's very funny, because sometimes they have to do disgusting things and those things are just hilarious!!
Besides, Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt are both amazing actresses, and they both made their roles very good and very convincingly...One thing we have to face: this is one of those typical "stupid movies" in which all the cast do is funny, but let's face another thing: PEOPLE LOVE THAT!!! I totally agree with the other reviewer who said that he/she almost choaked on him/herself...maybe the people who ranked this movie with 1 star haven't even watched it, but only they know.

Buy it, you'll have so much fun watching it over and over again, because it's not just the jokes, it's the attitude the girsl have when they do those things.

omg i love this movie. i used to watch it all the time. i really recommened to watch this movie. its sooo funny. its really really good.

I have to give Sigourney Weaver major props for this movie. Heartbreakers is hilarious and part of the reason for it is her. Sigourney & Love-Hewitt are a mother-daughter con team. Mother & daughter seek out rich men, get them to fall in love with and marry mother (Sigourney) and then trick them out of their money. It's so sneaky & crafty. And the scenery is beautiful (even though I see it everyday since I live in South Florida). Love-Hewitt really works it too, but Sigourney steals the show, especially as she pretends to be a wealthy Russian woman trying to get Gene Hackman's old, chain-smoking-and-ready-to-drop-dead character to marry her. And Love-Hewitt wants to run her own scam which she's doing behind her mother's back. I don't want to give anything else away. Ray Liotta is also very good as Sigourney's first husband (well, the firs husband of hers we meet...she mentions at one point something about all 13 of her weddings were beautiful). It's a funny movie that points out that no matter how hard you try and fight it, one of these days love will catch even the most guarded of us when we least expect it to. It's worth it for the song Sigourney sings at the restaurant.

The movie sheds light on a mother and daughter who try to con men out of large amounts of money.
The plot has elements of both comedy and drama making it rather difficult to label it as one or the other; it's actually a bit of both.
The acting is pretty good (but nothing great), while the humor and the plot are just about average.
Though the potential for a great movie was definitely there it fails to take off. A shame really...
In a nutshell, it's an ok movie, and that's about it; it lacks that extra something to put it over the top. No masterpiece here.

I don't understand why so many reviewers compare "Heartbreakers" unfavorably to "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." If you like slapstick shtick with toilet humor thrown in, then DRS is for you. If you want a great comedy with two Oscar winners (Gene Hackman and Anne Bancroft) and an Oscar nominee (Sigourney Weaver), great characters, and terrific comedic dialog, choose "Heartbreakers." This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

I JUST LOVED THIS MOVIE.I DO NOT KNOW WHY SOME REVIEWERS DIDNT FIND THIS MOVIE FUNNY.PERHAPS I SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY.5 STAR RATING. BUY THIS IN WIDESCREEN OTHERWISE YOU MISS 1/3 OF THE MOVIE ENJOY

I bought this film absolutely ages ago, and have only just got around to watching it. I was quite surprised that Jennifer Love Hewitt (Paige) & Sigourney Weaver (Max) made such a good pairing in the movie, a great mother & daughter team. Others considered for their roles were: Cameron Diaz, Alicia Silverstone, Cher and Anjelica Huston. (Anjelica & Cher obviously for the mother roles!)

I hate JLH with a passion, probably cos she wears as little as possible throughout, and will have every guy's tongue hanging out. And she plays the same character in every movie. She cannot play another character. Rant over.

Sigourney Weaver, Gene Hackman, & Ray Liotta were outstanding in this movie, considering what little they had to work with. Jason Lee was fabulous as ever, he can't do anything wrong! :) And Sigourney was very brave to get up & sing "Back In The USSR" in a Russian restaurant. (I still don't understand why she was pretending to be Russian.)

There's a lot of establishing shots in this, which other reviewers have spoken about, but what's amazing is, that for the amount of car scenes there are, JLH never drove in any of the car scenes.

The card handling that JLH does in the restaurant (saying it relaxes her) was taught to her by stage magician Ricky Jay. She actually learned more tricks than that, but was unable to do them in the movie because she broke her finger. The most expensive shot in the movie was when JLH leaned against the car to talk to Ray Liotta near the end of the movie. Because it was cold on set, she had a white sweatshirt around her waist that was in the shot, and it had to be digitally taken out.

Overall, this film has everything a film needs to have, and that's mainly a totally implausible storyline, and a happy ending, which really didn't work well considering the rest of the film. OK, I'm kidding (am I?) The film is OK, but not really worth a look unless you're a JLH fan.

This movie was completely irritating. Here are ten (10) observations:

1. Who ever told Jennifer Love Hewett she could act?

2. Nothing really happens in this film. It's one establishing shot after another, after another. We see characters opening and closing doors, getting in and out of automobiles, walking into restaurants... for about two hours.

3. The dialogue is largely meaningless. It's like watching people speak in esperanto or some language entirely foreign to earth. This is because:

4. The characters in this film are completely the figment of someone's imagination, with no roots in reality. If anyone could relate to the characters that Ray Liotta, Sigourney Weaver, Love Hewett or Gene Hackman portrayed, I'd certainly like to interview them for "Sixty Minutes".

5. After about forty minutes into the film, Sigourney Weaver breaks into song. I hoped that her rendition of "Back in the USSR" was the low point of the film, but unfortunately, I was wrong.

6. The whole concept behind this film was rather formulaic, with a rather poor foundation. The end result is something from the bizarro world, like a $450,000.00 home built from clapboard and thrown-out furniture crates.

7. For the last hour or so, the film unravels spectacularly, much like a burning Zeplin heading down to earth. However, this film was not as bad as "AI: Artificial Intelligence", because that film was in a class of awfulness all by itself. Even so, it was still a hateful experience to watch "Heartbreakers".

8. I hope that in the future, someone will purchase this film, dispense with all the dialogue, and rearrange each scene into a more credible story, a la Woody Allen's "What's Up Tiger Lilly".

9. One nice thing about the movie is that you can leave the dvd running, and take a long break to get something to eat, come back to watch the movie, and not really miss anything.

10. Would I recommend "Heartbreakers" to my friends? Sure.. Anything's better than having to sit through "The English Patient"!

I enjoyed this movie. I'm not a big fan of Love Hewitt, but this movie entertained me.

Banal, boring script, primitive stereotypes and cliches, unfunny comedy, dumb humor. This is probably the worst role and performance by Gene Hackman in his entire career. OK, I am giving it 2 starts rather than one because I like Jen Hewitt.

This is a mildly funny but predictable comedy saved from total oblivion by the hilarious performance of Gene Hackman, as an elderly and ill tobacco baron and would-be dupe of two women aiming to bilk him out of his fortune. Sigourney Weaver is quite skilled in her role as a mother who has taught her daughter (Jennifer Love Hewitt) never to trust men and to use them for all they are worth. Having just pulled off a scam on Ray Liotta to get his fortune, the women set out to deceive just one last time. Although Hackman is a laugh riot in this role and Weaver is lukewarm-funny, Love Hewitt is annoying and her obvious/predictable "love story" leaves one sick to the stomach. Mindless entertainment.

The best I can say about "Heartbreakers" is that, at times, I laughed! This is billed as a lightweight romantic comedy/con caper. As cons go, it is all too predictable - as a matter of fact, I believe it's been done before, and better, in "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." And any romance involved here is lukewarm, at best.

Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love-Hewett play mother daughter grifters, Maxine and Page Conners, (and a variety of colorful aliases), on the lookout for any man wealthy enough to be bilked for all he's got. Curvy Moma Conners is on husband number 13, and her aide-de-camp, 20 year-old Page, has her own game going with Jack, (Jason Lee), a monied bar owner. The duo also has a vast repertoire of money-making scams, from putting glass in restaurant food for a free meal to securing a complimentary suite of rooms in a posh Palm Beach hotel. At first these con-games are funny, but after a while they grow old and one can see them coming a mile away.

The IRS threatens jail unless Maxine and Page come up with undeclared back taxes. So they're off for "one last score." Ray Liotta plays Dean Cumanno, the last man Max ripped-off. He is still wildly in love with her, even after she took him to the cleaners and got his Mercedes to boot. He takes off in pursuit not knowing all the facts about his ex. Ailing billionaire tobacco baron William Tensy, (Gene Hackman), who looks a few days over one hundred, with ashen, liver-spotted skin, pink nose and a 5 pack-a-day-man's hacking cough, is the next target. I must say, Weaver, playing the Russian vamp Olga, makes for some big laughs, and she has the accent down pat. And Hackman is so disgusting, he's cool! There's a wild dinner scene where she is asked to sing in Russian, which could be worth the rental price alone. Unfortunately, Love-Hewett, who does petulant with a capitol "P", has an extremely limited range.

The film moves at a reasonable pace, although not fast enough to make it work as a comedy. It starts good, but goes downhill way before the conclusion. And it's far too long at 123 minutes - I mean this is NOT "War and Peace." Weaver, who has a knack for comedy, gets to ham it up and have fun. Apparently director Dave Mirkin wants his audience to focus on his stars' natural assets. There is enough cleavage shown here to warrant the attendance of any man who wants to watch. However, the continual, although partial, baring of boobs is just another cliche. The characters are likeable and the chemistry is good, especially between mother and daughter - but good will and likeable are not enough to hold a film together. This one needs more cement!
JANA

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)

Are men really as dumb as they appear to be in Heartbreakers? Well if I had woman in my life that acted like the two in this, yeah I'd probaly do what the guys in this do.

Max Connors(Weaver) scans men. She seduces them and marries them. She then gets her hot daughter Paige(Hewitt) to seduce them and just when there about to you know what she walks in on them. She then divorces them and takes half of their assests. Shes been doing it her whole life and they just did it to Dean(Liotta). It looks like the girls are off for a big pay and Paige looks to go out on her own. That is until the IRS bust them for tax eviction and leaves them broke.

The two head off to Palm Beach to look for big money and they find that in William B. Tensy(Hackman) a tobacco company owner worth 3 billion. He's the play and things are going good. That is until Paige starts trying to play Jack(Lee) a local bar owner worth a couple of million. She's falling in love with him. They also have to deal with Dean who's come back looking for love with Max. The girls now have little time to see if they can play Tensy.

Sigourney Weaver is gorgeous in the movie. It's hard to believe she is in her early fifties dressing the way she does. She is so hot to be that old. Shes funny and her singing Back in the USSR with a bad Russian accent is terrific. You have to love what she does and brings to this movie. It's a different kind of character. You almost have trouble believing this gorgeous woman was once bald in Alien series.

Jennifer Love Hewitt gives one of the best performances of her young carear. Whew is she hot in this movie. She is so hot in all those tiny dresses and thank the lord for the wonder bra. Im 20 years old and shes my favorite part of the movie. Her chemistry with Lee is real good and looks authentic.

Gene Hackman is funny in this. The two time Oscar winner is the disgusting tobacco guru. He's always smoking like a chimney in the movie and he looks horrible. The make up guys did good with him. His love scenes with Weaver kill me. They are so funny with him kissing her and blowing smoke out at the same time. It's even better when I found out Weaver didn't know he was going to do it.

Ray Liotta and Jason Lee are also great. Liotta is always great in his movies. Lee is one of the funniest underrated guys in Hollywood. This is a different kind of character for him. I'd rather see him do more stuff like Mallrats. The two are still good though.

The DVD extras are pretty good. There are 18 deleted scenes. There is plenty of commentary on the movie. There are a couple of documentaries on the movie that are quite interesting. The DVD extras add to the movie.

This is a great DVD. It's a funny movie with gorgeous woman and a happy ending. It's pretty easy to find cheap. I wouldn't rent it because you can get it at a lot of places for a little more than a rental. If you don't like the story the men should at least enjoy the eye candy. So don't miss out Heartbreakers. I'm glad I didn't.

This had a good premise, good actors to play the parts. Sigourney Weaver,although a little long in the tooth to be playing a fem fatale, is competent and Hackman stole the movie with his nicotine drenched old rich guy. When these two actors were on the screen, it was watchable indeed. The big snoozer in this movie was Jennifer Love Hewitt whose only noteworthiness was big silicone implants in tight clothing.

Whenever she came on the screen away from Weaver, the movie fell flat ASLEEP! She has neither the talent, charisma or looks to carry a movie by herself (so,we haven't seen much of her lately have we?)

This movie is watchable IF you rent it and fastforward out the parts with Hewitt. The scams Weaver pulled were fascinating and cutting out Hewitt and concentrating on Weaver desperately looking for an old rich guy with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel would have been a better story.

Heartbreakers features mother and daughter con artists who target rich single men. The mother (Sigourney Weaver) gets the men to marry her; the daughter (Jennifer Love-Hewitt) tempts them into being unfaithful. Divorce follows, and a tidy cash settlement.

After leaving the latest victim (Ray Liotta), who seems to have genuine feelings for Weaver, the mother-daughter team target a rich tobacco billionaire, played by Gene Hackman. Hackman is terrific, and really, the movie is worth watching just because of him. He is a crude, uncouth, vulgar old man who smokes like a chimney and coughs up phlegm all the time (Hewitt correctly says that any sexual relations with him would be necrophilia). He is absolutely repulsive and hilarious.

The one thing that slowed this movie down was the relationship that develops between Hewitt and a local bartender, for whom she experiences the first real feelings she's had towards a man in her whole life. The way the relationship develops didn't strike me as completely plausible, and there comes a point where too many plot twists are thrown in; this in turn slows the entire movie down.

Otherwise, Heartbreakers is a great comedy. All the actors give it their best, especially Hackman.

I?ll admit it, I love this movie and bought the DVD. It?s like Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, but this movie features a mother-daughter con artist duo. The two vixens part men from their money using a lot of savvy and cleavage, but things go wrong when they are conned by the mother?s old partner and the daughter falls in love with a local bar-owner who is interested in astronomy.

FUNNY FUNNY AND FUNNY. I LOVE THIS MOVIE. IT IS SO FUNNY AND HAS GREAT ACTORS LIKE JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT GENE HACKMENAND RAY LIOTTA. ITS IN MY TOP 10 MOVIES.

I thought with this great cast and this funny premise they could make SOMETHING out of this movie, but sadly they did not. Other than a few good one-liners (thus two stars rather than one), this movie stinks. Cliches galore, bad jokes, bad acting, and bad writing. If you want to see a good con-artist movie, get Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Steve Martin & Michael Caine. Heartbreakers is not worth 90 minutes of your time.

A silly light comedy about a mother and daughter hustler team that works on wealthy men. Starring Sigorney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt as the intrepid duo, they end up being hustled themselves and in a silly plot have to use honesty to regain their ill gotten wealth to pay back debt. Gene Hackman plays a wealthy tobbacco billionaire that Maxine(Weaver)has to try and seduce. Cleaverly she uses a fake Russian accent but it all comes nearly undone in a hillarious resturant scene.

Page(Hewitt)orignally goes after a mommys boy millionaire but comes unstuck with him and then turns on the barman with distain untill she realises that he owns the place. She tries to work him but falls in love with him instead.

Cheesey and light, the plot is simple. I thought it more a Love Hewitt in short skirts and tight pants pleasure movie, as she still hadn't quite grown out of her teenage body. Sigorney Weaver still manages to hold her own and the wedding night scene (with husband Ray Liotta)at the start still attests to this, she may be mid-aged but she still has her "Alien" figure.

This movie is senseless, it has a great cast but it just isn't funny. Not sutible for comedy lovers, it just isn't tastful enough. 4/10.

Not great But A Good movie With Good acting I suggest You Rent It On a Weekend Sometime

"Heartbreakers" stars Sigourney Weaver, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ray Liotta, Gene Hackman, and others. This is a great comedy for all ages. Its humor keeps its viewers laughing during and after watching. Its theme of a woman who cons many men offers many interesting twists and turns, always keeping everyone interested. Such theme takes a big turn when her daughter begins sliding away from her for a man, whom she truly falls in love with. The suspense builds as her most recent ex-husband searches for her. The writers are brilliant. The actors offer their own humor. Sigourney Weaver performs her role as the con artist wonderfully. Her fake russian accent can fool anyone. Her performance of "Back In the USSR" almost lives up to the original Beatles version. Gene Hackman's role as her latest victim is hilarious. The smoke constantly blowing out of his mouth and his nostrils gives the movie its own flamboyance. Everyone else also acts their roles wonderfully. "Heartbreakers" is a great comedy for those looking for a laugh fest. This unforgettable experience will not disappoint its viewers. Those wanting more should also watch the special features. They have many interesting clips: deleted scenes (including Weaver's full performance of "Back In the USSR"), interviews, behind the scenes footage, and more.

This is a very seductive and sexy movie. JLH is one hot babe in this movie! Her and Sigourney Weaver play tricks on men for their money. It is sad and hearbreaking. I love the movie overall though. Especially becaue JLH is such a babe. I love you Jennifer! Rent this movie or buy you will love it!

This movie was agonizing to watch. We watch as Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt romance and then betray men to earn money, all for the ol' cliche "I don't believe in love" routine. Of course, as predicted, they find men they really love. But even then, the man Jennifer Love Hewitt falls for is treated like a wet towel and properly betrayed, and then we're supposed to feel sorry when Jennifer Love Hewitt feels guilty about it later. We are even supposed to feel sorry for Sigourney Weaver when its revealed she set the man up.

Basically, this is the story of two greedy women. Our heroes, ladies and gentlemen...

One other note: I do not want to see Sigourney Weaver in sexual conditions. I nearly threw up seeing her in a tight shirt and panties in "Alien," there's no way in hell I want to see her in a nighty.

this movie is a pile of junk for its story but to see Hackman, Jason Lee and Ray Liotta in this one is a surprise, but they are the glue that holds this catastrophe together. Hewitt seems like her breasts are bigger than her brain(that would please my friend Dustin because hes madly in love with the woman). the part where Liotta shoots the gun in the water is great

This movie was great!! Love was so hot and Beautiful!!!!!!
I watched this movie so many times, that it's not even funny. It was funny and sexy, I love it!!!!!Jennifer Love, if you read this will you marry me!!!!!

Heartbreakers (2001) Sigourney Weaver, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Gene Hackman, Ray Liotta, Jason Lee, Anne Bancroft, Jeffrey Jones, Nora Dunn, Julio Oscar Mechoso, Ricky Jay, Sarah Silverman, D: David Mirkin.

Lengthy but funny comedy about mother-and-daughter con artists who first lure him to the altar as the other lures him into temptation, and then a divorce settlement leaves the women with the money.

The cast looks to be having a good time, which can get your mind off some of the spotty humor; Hackman is at his most repulsive as the ladies' newest target, a wheezing, filthy-rich tobacco tycoon.

Running Time: 123 minutes and rated PG-13 for sex related content including dialogue.

"Heartbreakers" isn't a great movie because of its plot - because lets face it, it gets a little ludicrous at times - but because of its talent. Weaver and Hackman are hysterical as a con woman and her latest victim. And Ray Liotta gives one of his finer performances as a sleazy car dealer who's trying to track Weaver down, if not for love than certainly for revenge.
Jennifer Love Hewitt is, surprisingly decent here. Although this part isn't too much of a stretch - a self-absorbed beauty who's trying desperately to make it from wannabe to professional. And she never does succeed. Hmmm... Still, she manages to hold her own in a cast of considerable talent.
Buy it, watch it, and be prepared for a LOT of jiggle.

A couple of scam artists working a deal and one falls in love. A obvious plot but a good cast and some funny moments. Mom - Sigourney - is content to to stay with the lawless life style and daughter - Jenifer - is ready to quit. Sigourney Weaver, Ray Liota, and Gene Hackman; these are professional actors that make the most of any story. You should find something worthwhile in this film.

Reading the reviews it seems everybody has their favorite actor, for me it was Gene Hackman. He is the tobacco wealthy target of Mom and Daughter Sigourney Weaver and Jenifer Love Hewitt and he will show you why you should not be smoking. From his stained teeth, nicotine yellow fingers, to his hack-hack he is absolutely disgusting. He is funny because you always know it is Gene Hackman playing a role.

Not a great film but worth watching and Amazon has it for less than .... Such a deal!

How tired I am of reading people saying how HOT Jennifer Love Hewitt looks in this movie. Yes, it is very true, but this is really not enough to be called a MOVIE, but perhaps a skin-flick in disguise. Hewitt parades her body and performs actions that should have given this movie an "R" rating, and not PG-13. Though they may not SHOW all of the sexual acts, they are certainly not subtle, and think about it, should a 13-year-old really be watching and emulating such acts? I certainly hope not.

I gave this movie 2 stars because I had a few laughs and did enjoy the ending. Oh, and yeah, I'm a male and I certainly enjoyed the Hewitt views, but if you're a sex-starved male looking for some young skin I'm sure there are other movies out there that may satisfy your cravings even more, so I add, what really was the point?

Heartbreakers stars Sigorney Weaver, and Jennifer Love Hewitt as con women with a devious routine. Max(SW) lures wealthy men into marriage and then Page(JLH) seduces them leaving Max to catch them at it, then reap huge divorce settlements.
After just scammed Dean(Ray Liotta) they go to Palm Beach, Florida, to target their next victim William Tensey(Gene Hackman)
a very old chain-smoker who owns a tobbaco company.
The film is very funny at times, and Jennifer Love Hewitt is looking very HOT all the way through the 2 hour film wearing short skirts. The film also has a very good cast.ove

The film has got a great cast- Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sigourney Weaver, Gene Hackman, and Ray Liotta, plus it is very funny.
Jennifer Love Hewitt looks hot all the way through this film, she wears short skirts and her breasts are huge.

This was a totally fun movie. It's great to see such a usually dramatic cast cut loose and have fun in an over the top comedy. The bonus features, especially watching Sigourney Weaver perform Back In The USSR in it's uncut version, make this a must see DVD. Maybe she should try THAT on the next Alien that crosses her path......
