Critic Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert

Heartbreakers is "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" plus Gene Hackman as W.C. Fields. I guess that's enough to recommend it. It's not a great comedy, but it's a raucous one, hard-working and ribald, and I like its spirit. Read full review

Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas

As Hollywood diversions go, this gleaming MGM release still leaves you wishing the filmmakers took as many risks as their grifters do. Read full review

Philadelphia Inquirer - Carrie Rickey

Crudely entertaining comedy.

Miami Herald - Curtis Morgan

When the youngsters are out of the way and old pros Hackman and Weaver work, it's hard to really dislike Heartbreakers. Sometimes, it's even a little bit of harmless fun.

Dallas Observer - Gregory Weinkauf

Heartbreakers' implausible level of comedy just grows tedious, as it's neither smartly witty nor full-throttle absurd. Read full review

Variety - Todd McCarthy

Overstays its welcome by at least a half-hour after never getting very high off the ground in the first place. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture) - Peter Rainer

What is the great Gene Hackman doing in the dingbat con-artist comedy Heartbreakers. Read full review

Heartbreakers is a classic comedy with excellent acting from a talented cast. The movie has refreshing
laughs and the movie doesn't drag or lose your interest for two hours.

Heartbreakers surprised me. Being a huge Jennifer Love Hewitt fan it was inevitable that I'd get around to this movie eventually but it was one of the last one's starring her that I saw.

Being a huge Jennifer Love Hewitt fan it was inevitable that I'd get around to this movie eventually but it was one of the last one's starring her that I saw. When I sat down to watch it I was expecting it to be like most of her movies, fun if a little lacking, but from the moment Heartbreakers opened I was thoroughly entertained. It has a great story, the acting of all the main characters (especially Hewitt and Weaver) is remarkably good, and the jokes are genuinely funny. I've re-watched the move several times since and it's kept me equally entertained each time. So if a movie is incredibly entertaining, hits all the notes it wants to hit, and has great acting to boot, it must be the perfect movie right? Well in this case, nearly.… Expand

What a delightful surprise, I wasn't sure what to expect, but this film had such charming twists and surprises. What was really amazing was how good Jennifer Love Hewitt was. Sigourney Weaver was expectedly fabulous. The scene of which one of them could get a guy to by her a drink What a delightful surprise, I wasn't sure what to expect, but this film had such charming twists and surprises. What was really amazing was how good Jennifer Love Hewitt was. Sigourney Weaver was expectedly fabulous. The scene of which one of them could get a guy to by her a drink first is a classic hysterically funny scene.… Expand
