Trivia

The music played during the scene where Gene Hackman gives Sigourney Weaver the gift of a lighter is the same classical piece that was used as incidental music in Weaver's debut film, Alien (it's playing while Dallas is sitting alone relaxing in the shuttle). This has to be an in-joke intended by the filmmakers.

Goofs

When Jack joins Max in her hotel room she intentionally leaves the door slightly open (in order for Page to be able to enter later), but when Jack wants to leave a little while later, the door is suddenly closed.

Quotes

William B. Tensy: Smoking is part of the fun of being a kid. We just did some tests on some 9-year-olds. After a little puking, why, you couldn't drag 'em away from the stuff. Heh-heh-heh.
[cough]
William B. Tensy: You're only young once. Why not indulge, though, I always say.

User Reviews

Born in the USSR

"Da, Da, Da, Born in the USSR" "I am Olga from RRRussia" "I am a little babushka" My girl and I have watched this movie before a couple months ago and are still (laughing out loud) on these few quotes from the movie. It was a relief watching it after a hard days work. That is why I grade it with a 10. I recommend Heartbreakers for all ages because it is really a excellent relaxing movie for all members of the family. Funny and romantic with two beautiful and very talented actresses who do not always successfully con the rich guys. The most funny and grouse was the screen with Gene Hackman. Even though it is not a new movie I will get a copy so I can watch it when ever I feel blue.
