Davis P Heartbreakers (2001) starring Jennifer love Hewitt, Sigourney Weaver, Ray Liotta, and Gene Hackman is a very funny well done comedy about conwomen mother and daughter. I loved the casting, Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer love Hewitt play their roles very well and they have good on screen chemistry as a team. Ray liotta is alright I guess, his role is super duper important but he's alright, and then Hackman is funny in what little of a role he has. The script has its definite funny moments and I was never bored with what was happening, I never checked to see if the film was getting close to being over. What these women do is one of them will start seeing a very wealthy man, eventually marry him, and then the other will seduce the man hours or a day after, the other woman walks in on it, then divorces him and they get a huge load of money to play around with. I thought it was a pretty well thought out good premise. The movie has some real romance mixed in not just conning and pretending. What real romance did happen was natural seeming and the chemistry worked. Overall, this is a pretty funny film that I think just about anyone would enjoy and it's got an A list cast that does a great job with the well put together writing. 8/10 for Heartbreakers.
klb4556 Sigourney and JLH do an amazing job in this movie. They act well as Mother and Daughter, and even though, to men, Jennifer is just a great body, her acting is really pretty good. Ray Liotta is also hilarious in this, and plays his character very well. This is one I have liked since a young age, and really love the plot, the scenery and the originality this film brings. There were a few plot holes and also a specific part involving several characters I don't understand, but you might find you feel the same way about the same thing, without revealing any spoilers. Overall, one I will watch over and over in the years to come.
aharmas Sigourney Weaver is a national treasure. She has given us what are by now legendary performances: Ripley from the "Alien" series, Katherine from "Working Girl", among others. This one here is also a match for those: She is witty, sexy, and a force of nature. Since she's playing multiple characters, it would be easier to refer her as mother.We are introduced to her act when she's just celebrating her wedding to her latest conquest, and from the looks of it, she's something special. Eventually, we realize what the act is, as she walks away with a nice settlement and meets her partner in crime right when she's leaving town: Jane, her own daughter, the result of one trick gone wrong a few decades before.Jane is ready to move on the professional leagues, but mother is a bit overprotective, in spite of what she makes her own kid do. Complications arise, and what was to be their last job together goes bust. Soon, they are in Palm beach, trying to find the biggest fish which will lead them to retirement. Watching them evaluate their prospects is hilarious. These pro's have an interesting set of standards.Soon, the target is chosen, and Gene Hackman, given a hideous makeup job turns out to be them the most unappetizing of their victims. He looks like a living dead who survives from puffing constantly on tobacco. The close ups are both entertaining and disturbing, since his complexion and his teeth-coloring is as close as you get to a corpse with the ability to speak.Any movie would not be fun if there were no complications, and soon mother is facing ghosts from her past, Jane is having second thoughts about what is happening with her life. This begins when she meets a local bartender who has better prospects she originally believed. Add to the developing mess, a faithful maid, unexpected proposals, maimed statues, and the power of true love.The laughs keep coming, and eventually everything is resolved, this is one of the best pieces to see because true nature never quite leaves mother, and she finds a way to turn into a winning hand. "Heartbreakers" is a classic comedy of the best kind.
blazesnakes9 Heartbreakers starts out with a simple idea. An mother and daughter con team scams men out of their money. One marry a guy, and the other seduces the guy to lead the guy to be caught. And the mother and daughter con team is played by Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt. At the beginning of the movie, Weaver marries an chop-shop dealer, played by Ray Liotta. Soon enough, everything is going well. Then, Liotta is seduced by Weaver's daughter, played by Jennifer Love Hewitt. And that leads Liotta into a divorce. After scamming Liotta out of his money and taking away his car, Weaver and Hewitt decide to head to Palm Beach, Florida. But, the movie quickly turn another direction. Hewitt wants to go on her own, but Weaver convinces her to stay together. When arriving in Palm Beach, the duo targets an tobacco dealer, played by Gene Hackman, who does a pretty good job. Meanwhile, Hewitt meets a bar owner, played by Jason Lee and quickly falls in love with him. What I liked about Heartbreakers is the chemistry between Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt. The chemistry between the two really holds the movie together. They are really fun and interesting to be see. To be honest, I really have a celebrity crush on Jennifer Love Hewitt. In this movie, I think she does a pretty good job, playing Weaver's daughter. She is funny and pretty throughout this movie. I laughed a lot during this movie and it may not be the best comedy of 2001, but the question I ask myself always when watching a comedy, Did I laugh? The answer that I have is Yes. I laughed during Heartbreakers. An good comedy. ★★★ 3 stars.
