Susan Stark, Detroit News: Laugh out loud? You bet. Read more
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News: It's too long and overplayed, and only sporadically funny. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Naughty is an outdated word in an era of proud nastiness, but Heartbreakers has a slinky, teasing quality that recalls the dressed-up comedies of the studio era. Read more
David Edelstein, Slate: I'm thrilled to report that Sigourney holds her own. Lord, does that woman work it. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: You stick with it because Weaver and her co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt are so appealing. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: The film unfolds in an impersonal, by-the-book fashion that threatens to become downright laborious. Read more
Louis B. Parks, Houston Chronicle: At just over two hours, Heartbreakers stretches its premise and easygoing silliness to the maximum. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: A two-hour marathon. Read more
Sheila Norman-Culp, Associated Press: A concoction by director David Mirkin that never fails to sink to the lowest common denominator -- yet often hits a funny bone. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: At best, a half hearted mercenary farce. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: There are not enough Hefty bags in all The Home Depots to contain the trash generated by this vulgar burlesque. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Unwieldy, dumb, rarely funny (and never truly hilarious) and largely charmless. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: It's not a great comedy, but it's a raucous one, hard-working and ribald, and I like its spirit. Read more
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle: Unless you're a Hackman aficionado, there's no reason to bother with Heartbreakers. Read more
Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today: Director David Mirkin, whose Romy and Michele's High School Reunion was similarly afflicted, never gets the timing right and allows the story to drag with little internal logic. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: A picture to be watched for its plot mechanics and very occasional laughs rather than with any engagement in its characters or the stakes involved. Read more
Jessica Winter, Village Voice: Oafishly staged by zoom-addled David Mirkin. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Trust me, you'll want to leave these people to get on with their tedious scams alone. Read more
