Heartbreakers. [David Mirkin, 2001. Written by Robert Dunn, Paul Guay, and Stephen Mazur.]
An occasionally funny comedy about a mother and a daughter tag team, played by Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt's breasts, who wander the highways and byways of the land, luring rich suckers into marriages which invariably go unconsummated, are annulled after carefully-contrived scenes of embarrassment, and provide these shameless bitches with handsome settlements; Ray Liotta and Gene Hackman, better sports than the union contract should require, ham it up as the principal victims, Jason Lee plays the love interest who may eventually [though, caveat emptor] get to handle Ms. Hewitt's alluring merchandise; cameos by Ricky Jay and the redoubtable Anne Bancroft.
