Not factoring what has and hasn't aged well, there are plenty of laughs to be had here, especially on the physical comedy side of things.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 28, 2025

An absolutely deplorable wretch, this is Gene Hackman at his most wildly unhinged, a scene-stealing turn that chews just enough scenery to ignite laughing fits whenever he’s around while never attempting to upstage the film’s stars.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 22, 2022

...a better genre film that Ocean's 8, and shows that Weaver really has what it takes to hold a comedy together...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 24, 2021

There's little doubt that Heartbreakers is at its best during its breezy and completely entertaining first half...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 21, 2019

This may be a screwball comedy, but it also has a heart.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 24, 2017

[UPDATED 2025 REVIEW] After a dreadful first half, the film steadies itself once the plot mechanics start paying off.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 5, 2015

Not terrible, it just doesn't work very well.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 24, 2010

A funny and utterly charming romantic comedy

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 30, 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.

| Original Score: C | Dec 7, 2006

Even though some of them are predictable, Heartbreakers has plenty of laughs -- but in the end it's the Hewitt factor that will make or break it for you.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 4, 2006

Mirkin keeps the humor wicked, keeps the rhythm going, and refuses to cave in to sentimentality or overt slapstick.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 26, 2006

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 6, 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 utmost

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 20, 2003

Perhaps the biggest surprise is Liotta, who turns in a hilarious turn as Dean, in a blatant send-up of his mobster screen persona.
