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 and marries them. Page then seduces them, and Max catches her husband in the act. Then it's off to palimony city and the next easy mark.

Critics 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.

Manages to pull an engaging and funny popcorn movie out of a mediocre script, slack pace, and lacklustre direction thanks to the considerable talents of its cast.

2/4

After a dreadful first half, the film steadies itself once the plot mechanics start paying off.

4/5

Not factoring what has and hasn't aged well, there are plenty of laughs to be had here, especially on the physical comedy side of things.

8/10

An absolutely deplorable wretch, this is Gene Hackman at his most wildly unhinged, a scene-stealing turn that chews just enough scenery to ignite laughing fits whenever he’s around while never attempting to upstage the film’s stars.

Hidden comedy gem, a must see, a non stop funny fest. This is better than the ratings say. Super cast. Amazing performances all around.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é bom, mas ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
