How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:115

Fresh:60

Rotten:55

Average Rating:5.3/10

Consensus: Though the actors pour a lot of energy into their roles, Heartbreakers is too drawn out, and the romantic subplot doesn't blend well. Also, the con women aren't particularly sympathetic.

Runtime: 2 hrs 5 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: Max (Sigourney Weaver) and Page (Jennifer Love Hewitt) are a brilliant mother/daughter con team who have their grift down to a fine science. Max targets wealthy, willing men who fall prey to her... Max (Sigourney Weaver) and Page (Jennifer Love Hewitt) are a brilliant mother/daughter con team who have their grift down to a fine science. Max targets wealthy, willing men who fall prey to her beauty and charm, and marries them. The equally gorgeous Page then seduces them. Max catches her wayward husbands in the act. Then it's off to divorce court with the hapless men losing much more than their shirts and on to the next scam, with Max and Page posing in a variety of cons to keep one (or two) steps ahead of the law. -- © 2001 MGM [More]

Emanuel Levy

The only contribution--and it's a dubious one--that Mirkin makes in his trifle of a comedy is to feminize the perennially male profession of con artists with a mother-daughter team, played by the regal Sigourney Weaver and sexy Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Perhaps the biggest surprise is Liotta, who turns in a hilarious turn as Dean, in a blatant send-up of his mobster screen persona.
