L.A. Weekly
Although the film is a tad long, Mirkin ("Romy and Michele's High School Reunion") has managed to pull off a classy, gently funny movie in which no one throws up, a rare blessing these days. - 63
Chicago Tribune
Heartbreakers itself is something of a con game: an expensive imitation of older, better films from older, often better times. - 60
Chicago Reader
Despite its nasty facade, this comedy is surprisingly good-natured. - 50
Baltimore Sun
To its credit, Heartbreakers lives up to expectations. Almost. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
Never tickles your nasty bone, perhaps because, in an era when the gossip pages are dotted with news of celebrity prenups, the prospect of marriage as a route to instant fortune seems less scandalous than it does like business as usual. - 50
Charlotte Observer
If you're going to serve up a half-baked idea, you might as well have Sigourney Weaver do the cooking. - 40
Washington Post
Trust me, you'll want to leave these people to get on with their tedious scams alone. - 38
New York Post
Despite its talented and/or attractive cast, Heartbreakers is an ugly movie: The kind that makes you feel slightly soiled afterwards.
