korgpaxkorg Great movie that shows you not everything is as true honest as it seems. A team of mother and daughter play the perfect duo to work their way through easy money from men that fall in the trap and are charmed by these two. The movie has humour as well and really funny at times.Really enjoyed it

thejcowboy22 To borrow the quote from songwriter Engel Franz, "The smile that made a dream begin, clouds your vision you been living in, she whispers oh such pretty lies, don't believe her for when she look into your eyes, love just isn't there, cause she doesn't care, Brother beware, Oh Brother beware, Brother take care, cause the Female of the species is Deadlier than Male." Watched this movie about a Mother Daughter con artist team of Sigorney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt. They take multiple alias from former jobs, mainly marring men and leaving them when the settlement is reached. Their coming off their last swindle from Body shop/Chop shop crook Dean Cummano (Ray Liotta) who as far he knows woke up to a mess. Max Conners,(Weaver) catches Dean in a compromising position with his newly hired secretary played by of course her Daughter Page (Hewitt). Max expeditiously gets the divorce from Dean with the usual hefty settlement her half of the money. The con is complete! Page has lunch with her divorcée Mom discussing her firm butt in addition being an expert with a deck of cards (loaded deck) wants to branch off on her own. The barracudas The Conners go to the bank to withdraw what's coming to them. An IRS examiner (Anne Bankcroft) stops them and says," You owe us several hundred thousand dollars in taxes forgetting to file the past 7 years. Even with the cash settlement it isn't enough. The two cons are in a bind with 90 days to pay or become love slaves in a jail wearing orange jumpsuits. Time for another hustle.Speaking of wardrobe, kudos to the set designers and clothing departments as Weaver and Hewitt look stunning throughout the picture. Off to Palm Beach, Florida where cons and Hollywood decided that rich widowers and bachelors live seeking female companionship., i.e. Some Like It Hot. Page and Mom agree this is their last con together in hopes of cashing in and paying off the IRS and having enough leftover for Page to go on her own. Their next target is the Millionaire tobacco King Willaim Tensy (Gene Hackman) who is perfectly cast as a "Hacking Man" who has an advanced case of emphysema where he literally drops to his knees in a coughing rage during a high value auction. Max portrays a Russian woman and makes her move on Tensey as he quickly falls for her . Meanwhile Page in her mini dress walks into Bar outside of town on the way to Tensey's estate waiting for a call from Mom as to put a tire trap of nails on the road for Tensey's Rolls Royce to run over causing him to crash and have Max save him and then do her love hustle on Tensey in hopes of Marriage and a big payoff. At the bar a young gentleman offers Page a drink Jason Lee (Jack) who is scolded by the Hostile Page and when her speech was done Jack simply said he is the Bartender and she backed off. The call was made by Mom to leave and set the trap. Smitten by his encounter with the feisty vixen Jack follows Page and runs over the nails and crashes his station wagon. One thing leads to another as the two discover each other naturally against Mother's wishes as work has to be done in marrying Tensey first. The story gets more involved with Weaver showing her singing talents at a Russian restaurant and Hewitt's secret meetings with Jack and their dialogue about watching the stars is laughable. Great performances by Nora Dunn as the suspicious house keeper to Tensey who also gets swindled. Anne Bankcroft as the sturdy IRS examiner shows a confidence that can never be unraveled. Ray Liotta shows his comedic timing and fishing skills by firing his gun in the water telling the in-laws he's a College Professor who teaches College S--T! Wasted appearances by Sarah Silverman and Zach Galifianakis as they had a few straight lines a piece as Jack's Buddy's at the bar. Jason Lee appears to be a bit wooden and colorless but it works well being the straight partner for Hewitt's nasty lines and comebacks.The thimble rig chain of events will lead up to a wedding day for one of the woman. Good to see sex predator Jeffrey Jones who has a short cameo and put on a few pounds as the Hotel manager. I truly enjoyed this canard of chicanery with Weaver and Love Hewitt who has an uncanny resemblance to Hallmark channel's Lacey Chalbert. By the way when dining out add a little chard of glass on your plate for a free meal.

Python Hyena Heartbreakers (2001): Dir: David Mirkin / Cast: Sigourney Weaver, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Gene Hackman, Ray Liotta, Jason Lee: Comedy where a mother daughter combo seduce males for their money. Sigourney Weaver marries wealthy victims and Jennifer Love Hewitt enters as a maid positioned as the victim of sexual play. Together they rob victims through divorce settlements. They sight Gene Hackman in Palm Beach Florida but must move fast because the I.R.S. is closing in. Amusing setup is structured like a sitcom with wayward conclusion. Directed by David Mirkin who previously made the wonderful comic gem Romy and Michele's High School Reunion and here he demonstrates similar timing. Weaver is a steal giving a zesty performance closed in deceit. Hewitt aims for romance and normality in a predictable yet much more moral direction. Hackman is hilarious constantly smoking cigars that threaten his health. Ray Liotta is perfectly cast as a foil who pursues them and eventually takes an interesting comic turn but not necessarily for the ethic better. Jason Lee is weak only due to having to play Hewitt's romantic interest. The role is straight forward and never worthy of Lee's comic potential. Hewitt learns that there are options while Weaver learns that men can be companions. Together they realize that the only hearts they were breaking was their own. Score: 6 ½ / 10

TheFunkyBass This movie has everything. Great actors, heist, working plot, well-written screenplay, believable characters, good soundtrack, just enough spice of humor and Jennifer Love Hewitt's sweet breasts.The screenplay was very well-written, not the typical romantic comedy. The creators of Liar Liar made a heist film with deep characters and plot.Everyone's performance was top notch, except the beginning of the film when Max and Page. Danny Elfman's work for the theme song of the film could have been better, it seemed too last minute. I liked the reference to "Come Fly With Me" though.
