This movie has left me in complete confusion - was I supposed to laugh or cry!!! Either I have become a prude, a wet blanket or have lost my humor - but, I swear Heartbreakers left me with a lump and it was cancerous for my breast!!

Two women Max (Sigourney Weaver) and her daughter Page (Jennifer Love Hewitt)are beautiful, sexy and charming - every man's dream come true!! Every man considering their sexual habitués, luring them into venus traps seems easy for the deadly duo. Max is the kind of woman guys go gaga about - curvy, smooth and all tongue. She is also a crafty strategist who marries rich suckers only to divorce them for settlement money when they're caught with their pants down. Her plan includes an accomplice another sexy shyster to maneuver the target into, um, position -someone like her daughter.

But while pulling a swindle on quirky cigarette tycoon Tensy (Gene Hackman), Page meets the ultimate boyfriend-next-door (Jason Lee) and soon does the unthinkable - she falls in love. Things like morals and a conscience start to surface, and with a vengeful ex hot on their heels, a dead body in the trunk, and their screwball scam falling to pieces, mother and daughter are forced to square off and examine their crazy relationship to keep their own hearts in one piece. That's about the gist, if you are looking for a story.

Three times Emmy Award-winning writer, director and executive producer David Mirkin began his career as a standup comic, performing at the Improvisation, the Comedy Store and other clubs around the country. That was the start up of a career that garnered a lot of recognition and awards for him as he moved forward into doing television series - Simpsons. Now, its directing films, call it fine appreciation for talent an American Dream!

Now, getting back to this flick that he has so artfully managed to cut into comic pieces without giving it a continuous body. The flow in the script is missing - what happens to the dead body!! That was one of the biggest bloopers here and yes, tits and ass have a major role in this flick - some 'body' erred. Not everyone is a dickhead - this movie makes men out to be ...smirk, smirk! Mebbe the guy in the editing table decided to make a corpse out of director's show. Somebody should have told him movie making is no stand up show!!!

Getting my humor back - Gene Hackman has coughed up a lot of no so delectable situations for the con woman Max; she not only has to kiss the frog, she has to be a Russian too. Somehow Weaver as Max lets us down - she looked like she was acting all the time …haahahhahahahaa.
