HEARTBREAKERS (2001)

DAVID MIRKIN

Plot

This con-rom-com follows mother/daughter con-art team Max and Paige as they look for their next willing victim. Having taken Ray Liotta for all he was worth the duo head to Palm Beach, Florida for their final con after the IRS finally catches up with them and empties their bank account. When they get to Florida, Paige is set to break the cardinal rule of conning: Don't fall in love. While her mother is 'seducing' the ultimate target, a sleazy tobacco-tycoon who's indulged in a little too much of his own product, Paige is making nice with a bartender (Jason Lee) who is set to inherit the bar. But of course everything starts crashing down around them but they make out scot-free in the end... duh. This is a great little comedy that has Weaver and Hewitt playing off of each other fantastically while getting themselves into a whole lot of trouble. Watch for the 'Flopper Diver' and Weaver's Beatles impression.
