Max and Page - mother and daughter - (Sigourney Weaver, Jennifer Love Hewitt) are marriage impostors. The tax investigation is on their trace. They´re highly indebted. They decide to plan their last coup...
I´ve seen "Heartbreakers" yesterday night in a preview. I was unpleasantly surprised because there were just a few people in the audience. Maybe all others were watching "The return of the mummy". Despite that fact, I enjoyed this film a lot. I must admit that "Heartbreakers" is surely not the birth of a new genre - remember the Steve Martin/ Michael Caine comedy "Dirty rotten scoundrels"? - but it´s just irresistible! Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt are drop dead charming, but also perfidious. Especially JLH proofs that she´s not only the cute girl from next door - though a few curses less would have been enough... Unfortunately Gene Hackman and Ray Liotta had much too little appearances - especially Liotta, I´d like to see him frequently in comedies! Not to forget Anne Bancroft! She gives a small, but fine performance as a tax investigator. It´s always a pleasure to see her!
You love caper movies like "Entrapment" or "The Thomas Crown affair"? Then "Heartbreakers" will break your heart!
Charming, fluff - a refreshing comedy!
