What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though the actors pour a lot of energy into their roles, Heartbreakers is too drawn out, and the romantic subplot doesn't blend well. Also, the con women aren't particularly sympathetic.

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. Go to Full Review Mitchell Beaupre Paste Magazine 09/22/2022

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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel M @MazzaQuePasa Nov 7 An enjoyable movie with a fun story and fun characters. Weaver and Hewitt were great together and it entertained till the end. See more John P Jul 26 Hidden comedy gem, a must see, a non stop funny fest. This is better than the ratings say. Super cast. Amazing performances all around. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 9 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é bom, mas ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Ryan M. @Rmmahoney10 Jun 21 Two prominent reasons to see it See more Rehan Jun 16 The movie was good. But, both mother and daughter are horrible people... See more El Hadji Moussé S Jun 13 I really hated this movie. The main characters are extremely despicable. Very cold blooded psychopaths. Nothing funny about that. I just kept watching because i was expecting those two to get what they deserve but it never comes. Very frustrating. Kinda wished Ray Liota would've shot them See more Read all reviews
