The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

What a god-awful film! My... oh my. After watching the first few minutes, I thought "This wouldn't be a setup where such and such thing happens..." and sure enough, I guessed the whole stupid film right there. And no, I am not psychic. It is the film that is as predictable as weather in LA. Funny, I couldn't even force myself to watch it with help of fast-forward button; yes, skipping every few minutes, and just making sure that the story was going where I thought it would, was still too boring.Not a single good joke, nothing to watch out for. Heck, I didn't even find normally beautiful women such as JLH and SW to be pretty at all. Everything failed on every level.

This film has nice cast and for me the most interesting was Jennifer Love Hewitt who's character (page) is smart, sexy, intriguing and sometimes even sincere. This film is about that old thing that probably all or at least the majority of men cheat and two main female characters, a mother and her daughter, can seduce men and take their chances in getting lots of money and wealth. I laughed many times during this film cause it has so many fun moments. The best thing I liked is that it ends with happy-end and Page finally finds a man (a bartender, who is in charge of his bar) who is sincere and true to her in his feelings and in his actions. By the way he is also rich enough. Not superb, but if you want something easy, fun and joyful it's a good film to entertain.

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.

I couldn't believe myself, this is a smart comedy from Hollywood, an original movie too from the 2000s, and it has a rare statement against smocking as killer. WAW! Look at the way it handles the matters, for instance scene like the one of setting up the maid; it's composite with real sense of humor. The script reminded me of the old Hollywood classics, especially (Some Like it Hot), in terms of 2 characters having false identities, conning 2 other characters in love with them, all happen on some beach, with damn good comic situations and surprises. In fact comedy doesn't stop in here. There is a palpable caring behind every line and shot. Imagine a movie reveals that even (Ray Liotta) has a talent for comedy; never forget him saying impatiently "I teach college stuff !".(Jason Lee) proves again that he can do romantic comedies yet Hollywood is the last to know, since no one seems to hire him much. However (Sigourney Weaver) was the one who stole the show with loose performance and magical femininity; despite her age, and being not that sexy, I noticed that she bewitched some young male viewers (some of them are friends of mine!). I loved the most the scene of singing (Back In The U.S.S.R); that was a classic, as well as the whole movie I think.Now the faults, not many though. For one; not utilizing (Gene Hackman) well; he played an aged buffoon or a lighted cigarette which about to end, yet didn't add much except some likability, since the written material was way lower than his abilities, and could be played by anybody else. The third act steered to a less strong, less comic curve, with something like another story. On some level it doesn't have a fair climax, the done one is good but unsatisfying a bit or not as crazy as what's before it. How they forgot to reuse that maid ?! She could have returned, with some of the prison's buddies, to revenge and make the climax hotter !Some sexual jokes were ugly. And speaking of ugliness leads us to the movie's biggest problem; of course you know whom I'm talking about. Name one chick who when you see her in bikini you cry…out of pain ! (Jennifer Love Hewitt) who – thank god – has no relation with movies nowadays is so creepily skinny, with a face of a gazing crow. So how about putting her in a very tight, very short dresses all the time (to watch her bones ?!!) while acting that she's a vamp who melts down men (she melts down my tolerance for sure!). Now I partly understood from where (Sigourney Weaver)'s massive magic, as a beauty queen this time, came; it's the irony of having (Love Hewitt) as a co-star! And it doesn't take a genius to discern who was the least comic, or the none-comic, in this cast also.(Heartbreakers) is a vigorous and intelligent comedy. In the same day I watched it, I watched also (There is Something about Marry). No need to say which one won my attention and admiration, forcing me to respect it and re-watch it.P.S : at one moment there was such a blasphemous line (Hackman's remake about who's seeing him and his woman while they're alone). It was dreadful, free, and unfunny. The thing is that has become frequent in movies lately to the extent of being a Hollywood habit, a strange and nasty habit !
