A funny and utterly charming romantic comedyMarch 23, 2001
Director David Mirkin, whose Romy and Michele's High School Reunion was similarly afflicted, never gets the timing right and allows the story to drag with little internal logic.March 23, 2001
There are not enough Hefty bags in all The Home Depots to contain the trash generated by this vulgar burlesque.December 07, 2006
The only contribution--and it's a dubious one--that Mirkin makes in his trifle of a comedy is to feminize the perennially male profession of con artists with a mother-daughter team, played by the regal Sigourney Weaver and sexy Jennifer Love Hewitt.December 05, 2015
After a dreadful first half, the film steadies itself once the plot mechanics start paying off; still, the end result is more exhausting than entertaining.March 23, 2001
Great escapist fun.March 23, 2001
Heartbreakers is one of these guilty pleasures.December 24, 2010
Not terrible, it just doesn't work very well.November 02, 2005
We can be sure that the makers of this movie know what their product and her assets are and intend to exploit them to the utmostMarch 23, 2001
Hits just the right note between naughty and raunchy.May 26, 2006
Mirkin keeps the humor wicked, keeps the rhythm going, and refuses to cave in to sentimentality or overt slapstick.March 23, 2001
Unless you're a Hackman aficionado, there's no reason to bother with Heartbreakers.
