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.
