There was a rumor in high school that I had an incredible crush on Jennifer Love Hewitt, presumably based off my love of the movie "Can't Hardly Wait". Well, that rumor was false. But if I had seen this movie in high school (a temporal impossibility), things might have been different.
This film stars Hewitt, alongside Sigourney Weaver, as a pair of black widows who con men into marrying them so they can reap the divorce money. What is not so interesting is the plot (clever, but nothing special). It's the impressive list of guest stars they con along the way: Kevin Nealon, Ray Liotta, Jeffrey Jones, Gene Hackman and Jason Lee.
If the cast doesn't sell you, there are key scenes you won't want to miss: Sigourney Weaver posing as a Russian woman singing the Beatles' "Back in the USSR"... and Ray Liotta hunting fish with a pistol.
If nothing else, the subtle "Chasing Amy" reference probably makes this whole film worth it. (Okay, not true... but I appreciated it.) My only two complaints: Sarah Silverman needed a bigger part (maybe TJ Thyne did, too). And who is the guy who keeps thinking that Sigourney Weaver should be put in sexy roles? That person needs to be strung up in the alley.
