Silly but fun
There is no reason why this movie should have been anything more than just a TV movie of the week on Lifetime. Well, aside from the erratic sense of humor. And Liotta and his need to have at Weaver. Or Jennifer Love Hewitt in those really, really short skirts.
The story of a mother and daughter con artist team, HEARTBREAKERS is a lightweight comedy with two good looking women from different generations. I honestly still have a hard time looking at Weaver and believing that she's old enough to be Hewitt's mom, but the numbers don't lie, I suppose.
After tricking a guy with a chop shop into marrying her and then setting him up so that they can get a quickie divorce, Weaver sets her sights on a new score while her daughter sees herself breaking away and pulling scams on her own. When they find out that they money they thought they'd squirreled away was taken from them by the IRS, they go in for one last big score.
Showing up on a posh resort and scanning for the richest person to take advantage of, things start to go awry. Hewitt still wants to be on her own, Weaver still wants to keep her with her. When you throw in Jason Lee and a hilarious Gene Hackman, all the comic elements are taken care of.
Sure it's silly, but I still find it funny.
