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]

A light, fun movie in the vein of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Surprisingly, this one is actually very funny and entertaining!

The opening 10 minutes... set a high-water mark that the rest of the movie valiantly and vainly struggles to reach again.

Para muchos pueden ser dos horas desperdiciadas, pero eso sí, bastante divertidas.

A surprisingly dull comedy with a smart cast and a predictably uninteresting script.

Heartbreakers breaks our hearts by taking a promising premise and slowly dissolving it into formula clichés.

...regular y bastante "dominguera", pero se gana el mérito de verle en cine, sin preferir esperar a que salga en video o DVD...

For a film which promised so little, Heartbreakers is surprisingly digestible.

like its central characters, it cons the audience members as they are watching it and only later leaves them feeling taken for a ride.
