Flashback Friday-Heartbreakers (2001)

It has often been said that mortals plan and the creator laughs.

In the 2001 movie, Heartbreakers, mother and daughter duo Max (Sigourney Weaver) and Page (Jennifer Love Hewitt) have the perfect con game down to a T. Max marries older and wealthier man and Page seduces them as her mother walks in on them. Max then demands a divorce and receives a tidy sum as a settlement. This continues on until they are caught by their own con game.

There are some movies that are merely ok. They are not terrible, but they are also not the greatest film to ever hit theaters. Heartbreakers is one of these movies. But that’s ok. Sometimes I want a movie that is a little dumb, a little predictable and a little naughty.

I recommend it.
