HEARTBREAKERS (2001). David Mirkin's "black comedy" has Max (Sigourney Weaver) and Page (Jennifer Love Hewitt) as mother-daughter con-artist team who rush moneyed men into abrupt marriages, goad them into infidelity (Page typically seduces Max's new husbands), and then milk the suckers for their bank accounts. After first sinking their claws into shady, car-repossessing Dean (Ray Liotta), gold-digging duo relocate to Palm Beach, where Max tries to wed liver-spotted billionaire William B. Tensy (Gene Hackman) before he croaks while Page is falling for starry-eyed nice guy Jack (Jason Lee). Rife with gratuitious ass-wiggling, flat characters, and jejune phallicism, Heartbreakers rehashes tricks from a myriad of second- and third-sting flicks: Goonies already broke off a nude statue's third leg, Weekend at Bernie's doled out the rigor mortis jokes, and I Know What You Did Last Summer proved that Love Hewitt has breasts. Note to MGM: black comedy is not a euphemism for bad comedy.
