Heartbreakers (2001) 8/10

Starring : Sigourney Weaver, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Jason Lee, Ray Liotta, Gene Hackman
Director : David Mirkin
Running Time : 121 mins

Max Conners (Weaver) and her daughter Page (Hewitt) make their money by conning rich men : the mother marries them, the daughter has affairs with them, then the mother gets a huge divorce settlement. Only problem is, Page finds herself falling in love with bartender Jack Withrowe (Lee), breaking the cardinal rule of the game! Now Max finds herself having to not only keep control of their “business”, but having to make sure she doesn’t lose her business partner in the name of love.

A much underrated comedy with some great performances from all involved, including Anne Bancroft in her final cinematic role. Although a little on the long side, this movie is a definite must-see for any fan of romantic comedies that aren’t afraid to break boundaries.
