Heartbreakers: actors, photo, short story
The director of the comedy was David Mirkin. Basically, he is known as the producer of the famous comedy animated series The Simpsons. So, what is the plot of the movie Heartbreakers based on?
The actors of this picture played a funny story in front of the audience, showing a difficult period in the life of two inveterate adventurers. Mother and daughter earn a living by “bred” rich men for money. First, Max Conners (S. Weaver), who is already over forty, seduces and marries a wealthy groom, and then her daughter (D. Love-Hewitt) inculcates confidence in him and plays the mistress of her newly-made husband. Having caught his spouse with his “mistress,” Max arranges a high-profile divorce proceedings and takes half of the property. And then the time comes for a new “sacrifice."
But this time, everything will go wrong as planned. In secret from her mother, Page decides to crank out her personal scam, which will result in a marriage of love. And the girl’s father (R. Liotta) will appear on the horizon, who will prove to be the same fraudster as the mother and daughter.
Heartbreakers: actors and roles. Sigourney Weaver as Max
Sigourney Weaver is a titled actress. True, she never won an Oscar, despite three nominations, but in the arsenal of Weaver there are several BAFTA and Golden Globe awards.
Before filming the movie "Heartbreakers", the actors who took part in the project were quite popular. Sigourney, for example, began her career in the films of the notorious Woody Allen. The famous artist was made by the tape “Alien”. In this horror film, Ridley Scott Sigourney played the main character - Ellen Ripley. Weaver is also known for her participation in the paintings "Avatar" and "Avatar-2."
In "Heartbreakers", the actress got a tragicomic role. On the one hand, we see the desperate adventurer Max Conners, who lives on a grand scale at the expense of others and does not worry about anything. Max cranks his machinations easily, with a fair amount of humor. But on the other hand, a woman with a dramatic fate - once abandoned by a loved one without a livelihood, appears before the viewer. And her present life is rather the result of a dramatic set of circumstances in the past.
Jennifer Love Hewitt as Paige
In the comedy Heartbreakers, actors R. Liott and S. Weaver played Paige's parents. Probably, the heroine of Weaver can hardly be called an exemplary mother, because from a young age she makes her daughter cheat. However, Paige’s father is no better: his girlfriend never saw him at all. Mom taught Paige not to become attached to men, so the girl never fell in love.
Unfortunately, she had a chance to experience feelings for a man whom she had to marry herself and abandon for the first time in her life. But the girl caught herself in time and chose love, not money.
Jennifer Love-Hewitt started her career quite successfully: she starred in the television movie "Audrey Hepburn", the slasher "I Know What You Did Last Summer", the comedy "Tuxedo" with Jackie Chan and the drama "If Only". The early 2000s can be called the heyday of Jen's career, but now she mainly plays in television series, and not the first roles: we are talking about the projects "Law and Order:" Special Corps "and" Think Like a Criminal. "
