Such a frustrating disappointment
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
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.
Heartbreakers (2001): Dir: David Mirkin / Cast: Sigourney Weaver, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Gene Hackman, Ray Liotta, Jason Lee: Comedy where a mother daughter combo seduce males for their money. Sigourney Weaver marries wealthy victims and Jennifer Love Hewitt enters as a maid positioned as the victim of sexual play. Together they rob victims through divorce settlements. They sight Gene Hackman in Palm Beach Florida but must move fast because the I.R.S. is closing in. Amusing setup is structured like a sitcom with wayward conclusion. Directed by David Mirkin who previously made the wonderful comic gem Romy and Michele's High School Reunion and here he demonstrates similar timing. Weaver is a steal giving a zesty performance closed in deceit. Hewitt aims for romance and normality in a predictable yet much more moral direction. Hackman is hilarious constantly smoking cigars that threaten his health. Ray Liotta is perfectly cast as a foil who pursues them and eventually takes an interesting comic turn but not necessarily for the ethic better. Jason Lee is weak only due to having to play Hewitt's romantic interest. The role is straight forward and never worthy of Lee's comic potential. Hewitt learns that there are options while Weaver learns that men can be companions. Together they realize that the only hearts they were breaking was their own. Score: 6 ½ / 10
This movie has everything. Great actors, heist, working plot, well-written screenplay, believable characters, good soundtrack, just enough spice of humor and Jennifer Love Hewitt's sweet breasts.The screenplay was very well-written, not the typical romantic comedy. The creators of Liar Liar made a heist film with deep characters and plot.Everyone's performance was top notch, except the beginning of the film when Max and Page. Danny Elfman's work for the theme song of the film could have been better, it seemed too last minute. I liked the reference to "Come Fly With Me" though.
This is one of my favorite comedies. I Highly recommend it! I have laughed so much with Ulga Yevanova. It is a perfect Russian accent. And the dinner with Hackman was also hilarious! She is still in a very good shape for 51 (now she's 61). Gene Hackman was so funny as billionaire tobacco magnate William Tensy. Hewitt was brilliant! The ending is exciting! It is so difficult to find a good movie on TV now a days. But this one was a really good surprise. Funny. Romantic. Sexy. I just love it! Great performances! Ray Liotta also shines. I hope I can watch more movies like this on TV.This is one of my favorite comedies. I Highly recommend it! I have laughed so much with Ulga Yevanova. It is a perfect Russian accent.
