To me, this movie is perfection.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Großartig auch mit viel Herz. Hab viel gelacht! Tolle Schauspieler
Great movie that shows you not everything is as true honest as it seems. A team of mother and daughter play the perfect duo to work their way through easy money from men that fall in the trap and are charmed by these two. The movie has humour as well and really funny at times.Really enjoyed it
Sigourney Weaver is a national treasure. She has given us what are by now legendary performances: Ripley from the "Alien" series, Katherine from "Working Girl", among others. This one here is also a match for those: She is witty, sexy, and a force of nature. Since she's playing multiple characters, it would be easier to refer her as mother.We are introduced to her act when she's just celebrating her wedding to her latest conquest, and from the looks of it, she's something special. Eventually, we realize what the act is, as she walks away with a nice settlement and meets her partner in crime right when she's leaving town: Jane, her own daughter, the result of one trick gone wrong a few decades before.Jane is ready to move on the professional leagues, but mother is a bit overprotective, in spite of what she makes her own kid do. Complications arise, and what was to be their last job together goes bust. Soon, they are in Palm beach, trying to find the biggest fish which will lead them to retirement. Watching them evaluate their prospects is hilarious. These pro's have an interesting set of standards.Soon, the target is chosen, and Gene Hackman, given a hideous makeup job turns out to be them the most unappetizing of their victims. He looks like a living dead who survives from puffing constantly on tobacco. The close ups are both entertaining and disturbing, since his complexion and his teeth-coloring is as close as you get to a corpse with the ability to speak.Any movie would not be fun if there were no complications, and soon mother is facing ghosts from her past, Jane is having second thoughts about what is happening with her life. This begins when she meets a local bartender who has better prospects she originally believed. Add to the developing mess, a faithful maid, unexpected proposals, maimed statues, and the power of true love.The laughs keep coming, and eventually everything is resolved, this is one of the best pieces to see because true nature never quite leaves mother, and she finds a way to turn into a winning hand. "Heartbreakers" is a classic comedy of the best kind.
Before I saw her in this film I'd never paid much attention to Jennifer Love Hewitt, since I'd never been much of a fan of horror/dead teenager movies. In 'Heartbreakers', she showed a lot of cleavage, a LOT of leg, and a real talent for both light and physical comedy. I thought that she played very well opposite Sigourney Weaver and still hope that they might team up again some day.There aren't a lot of movies that I'll watch over again, but this is one of them. Ray Liotta is good, if not on screen for most of the film, Gene Hackman is entertaining as a tobacco magnate with a persistent hacking cough, and I always like seeing Anne Bancroft. This is a caper/con game movie driven by the interactions of some very interesting characters.
