It is clear that the dream cast members are all enjoying themselves immensely, but that does not translate into much fun for the audience.

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.

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]

Reviews for Heartbreakers
Heartbreakers is the first worthy comedy in a first quarter dedicated to the inferior ones
The humor is relatively sophisticated (that is, no one is hurling or ejaculating), and the cast is lively.
Crippled by tedious pacing and buckles under its more than two-hour length.
It's difficult to believe these unpolished, self-centered vixens could master a con.
You stick with it because Weaver and her co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt are so appealing.
There’s something about the sum of Heartbreakers’ parts that leaves one looking for that Extra-Strength Tylenol which specializes in throbbing cinematic hangovers.
The scams seem endless, quickly becoming repetitive and causing the associated humour to also lose its appeal.
Unwieldy, dumb, rarely funny (and never truly hilarious) and largely charmless.
