SunnyHello Nice effects though.
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Mal 1978 I was hoping this movie would be as hilarious and fulfilling as Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Unfortunately, it falls flat in every way. The schemes, plot points, and romance seem contrived and/or forced. They just don't make logical sense. And I didn't find most of the humor funny, either. Also, the characters aren't that interesting or believable. I don't understand how so many people could give this movie good reviews and ratings. It's a massive letdown compared to Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. So disappointed.
Davis P Heartbreakers (2001) starring Jennifer love Hewitt, Sigourney Weaver, Ray Liotta, and Gene Hackman is a very funny well done comedy about conwomen mother and daughter. I loved the casting, Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer love Hewitt play their roles very well and they have good on screen chemistry as a team. Ray liotta is alright I guess, his role is super duper important but he's alright, and then Hackman is funny in what little of a role he has. The script has its definite funny moments and I was never bored with what was happening, I never checked to see if the film was getting close to being over. What these women do is one of them will start seeing a very wealthy man, eventually marry him, and then the other will seduce the man hours or a day after, the other woman walks in on it, then divorces him and they get a huge load of money to play around with. I thought it was a pretty well thought out good premise. The movie has some real romance mixed in not just conning and pretending. What real romance did happen was natural seeming and the chemistry worked. Overall, this is a pretty funny film that I think just about anyone would enjoy and it's got an A list cast that does a great job with the well put together writing. 8/10 for Heartbreakers.
klb4556 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.
elshikh4 I couldn't believe myself, this is a smart comedy from Hollywood, an original movie too from the 2000s, and it has a rare statement against smocking as killer. WAW! Look at the way it handles the matters, for instance scene like the one of setting up the maid; it's composite with real sense of humor. The script reminded me of the old Hollywood classics, especially (Some Like it Hot), in terms of 2 characters having false identities, conning 2 other characters in love with them, all happen on some beach, with damn good comic situations and surprises. In fact comedy doesn't stop in here. There is a palpable caring behind every line and shot. Imagine a movie reveals that even (Ray Liotta) has a talent for comedy; never forget him saying impatiently "I teach college stuff !".(Jason Lee) proves again that he can do romantic comedies yet Hollywood is the last to know, since no one seems to hire him much. However (Sigourney Weaver) was the one who stole the show with loose performance and magical femininity; despite her age, and being not that sexy, I noticed that she bewitched some young male viewers (some of them are friends of mine!). I loved the most the scene of singing (Back In The U.S.S.R); that was a classic, as well as the whole movie I think.Now the faults, not many though. For one; not utilizing (Gene Hackman) well; he played an aged buffoon or a lighted cigarette which about to end, yet didn't add much except some likability, since the written material was way lower than his abilities, and could be played by anybody else. The third act steered to a less strong, less comic curve, with something like another story. On some level it doesn't have a fair climax, the done one is good but unsatisfying a bit or not as crazy as what's before it. How they forgot to reuse that maid ?! She could have returned, with some of the prison's buddies, to revenge and make the climax hotter !Some sexual jokes were ugly. And speaking of ugliness leads us to the movie's biggest problem; of course you know whom I'm talking about. Name one chick who when you see her in bikini you cry…out of pain ! (Jennifer Love Hewitt) who – thank god – has no relation with movies nowadays is so creepily skinny, with a face of a gazing crow. So how about putting her in a very tight, very short dresses all the time (to watch her bones ?!!) while acting that she's a vamp who melts down men (she melts down my tolerance for sure!). Now I partly understood from where (Sigourney Weaver)'s massive magic, as a beauty queen this time, came; it's the irony of having (Love Hewitt) as a co-star! And it doesn't take a genius to discern who was the least comic, or the none-comic, in this cast also.(Heartbreakers) is a vigorous and intelligent comedy. In the same day I watched it, I watched also (There is Something about Marry). No need to say which one won my attention and admiration, forcing me to respect it and re-watch it.P.S : at one moment there was such a blasphemous line (Hackman's remake about who's seeing him and his woman while they're alone). It was dreadful, free, and unfunny. The thing is that has become frequent in movies lately to the extent of being a Hollywood habit, a strange and nasty habit !
