Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

wasserratte72 Großartig auch mit viel Herz. Hab viel gelacht! Tolle Schauspieler

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

breakdownthatfilm-blogspot-com When it comes to comedy films that involves lying, there has to be a clear line drawn of when and where the conscious of the person who is lying begins to work. Unfortunately, this movie can't decide on that. The story follows a mother and daughter who professionalize in being con artists. Their specialty - seducing, marrying and divorcing men into giving them the majority of their money. This would be funny if the film's main characters had focused on a man they had dealt with in the past but no. They decide to take on the everyday guy just for the sake of getting quick money. This is not how it should be done. This should be a revenge comedy against one man, not the entire gender universally.What's even more astonishing is the wide scale range that the casting department chose for their actors. The mother and daughter are played by Sigourney Weaver (the Alien (1979) franchise) and Jennifer Love Hewitt (I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)) respectively. There's Ray Liotta (Unlawful Entry (1992)), Jason Lee (who would later play Syndrome in The Incredibles (2004)), Jeffrey Jones from Beetlejuice (1988), Gene Hackman from Superman (1978), Zach Galifianakis (from the Hangover (2009) franchise) and even Carrie Fisher from Star Wars (1977) is acting in here. How could such a large cast of good actors still make such an average film?In fact, a lot of these actors' scenes are wasted because they are similar to other characters they have played. Weaver is probably the most complex but also the character with the on-off conscious. Hewitt plays the confused girl not knowing what to think of her emotions. Liotta continues to play his usual violent egomaniac, although there is a scene where he even grows a conscious (briefly); that scene I enjoyed the most. And Jason Lee just plays the clueless cutie boy who has no idea what's going on around him. As for the rest of the cast mentioned before, they really do have wasted scenes. None of them are funny scenes either.It just doesn't make sense. You have director David Mirkin, who has worked with comedies before like The Simpsons (1989) and the same name titled movie of 2007. Maybe it's his lack of directing features that pass 30 minutes. He's only released one other theatrical film, maybe he wasn't ready? And how come three writers couldn't form a more consistent plot. So much of it is back and forth between what is right and wrong which becomes tiresome. It will make people want to tell the characters to make a decision already. And it's not like they couldn't make a good script. Two of these writers were apart of Liar Liar (1997) which many people consider a good movie (speaking of which that that movie was also related to lying). Hmmm.Anyway, so it's not easy to say who is the weak link here. John Debney's music was OK. It had goofy tunes, which did alright in helping the scenes, but still didn't help the consistency of the tone. The comedy was also very bland. The main actors don't give much charm to their characters. Sure they dress up and talk like other people but that doesn't always make them funny. Some viewers may also find it sexist of how it portrays both genders. Men are lustful and dumb, while women are seductive and calculative. Then again, it can also be taken as an empowering portrayal. It really depends on what the audience wants to see. I for one found nothing of either side except an average comedy that had a little promise but didn't accomplish much.For a comedy with such a strong cast, it seems like this could have audiences laugh a lot. Sadly, the characters are too cliché and the tone flip flops making it just an average movie.

bob-790-196018 How did well-established professionals like Sigourney Weaver, Gene Hackman, and Ray Liotta become involved in this trash? Sure, it's watchable. Sure, Jennifer Love Hewitt is sexy. Sex comedies can be a lot of fun--but this? Weaver plays a woman who uses her body to lure male suckers into marriage and is teaching her daughter to do the same.Nothing wrong with being a whore, I guess, if you are supplying a useful product at a reasonable price. But in this case the two women are felons, deceiving men in order to get all of their money, and doing it over and over, marriage after marriage.Okay, lots of funny movies have been made about rascals, both male and female, who marry foolish or stupid people in order to get their money. But these woman are much worse than mere rascals. They are congenital liars, lying even to each other and to people (such as love interest Jack) whom they love. They're such liars and cheats that they cannot even order lunch in a restaurant without making it a con job.They are also sluts. Hewitt spends virtually the entire movie in micro short dresses that make her body look like a statue of a fertility goddess, all in order to tease. Weaver similarly flaunts her body to tease and cajole men, over and over.We are supposed to overlook this behavior because--for example--Hewitt's character really loves Jack, though she has an astounding way of showing it. As for Jack, he is monumentally stupid not to see her for what she is.Nevertheless, the last 20 minutes of the movie goes to great lengths to make us believe that these two women are, after all, lovable. There is that tender moment (with the inevitable tinkling musical accompaniment), when Hewitt pledges her love to Jack. And then--oh, wonderful!--that moment when mother and daughter embrace. Weaver really is a good mom after all! Oh, thank goodness! She's just like everyone else's mom! Apparently I am one of the few reviewers of this film to find it offensive.
