Spoilers ahead
Max, portrayed by Sigourney Weaver, along with her daughter Page Conners, played by Jennifer Love Hewitt, form a cunning duo of con artists. They set their sights on Dean Cumanno, a small-time auto-body shop owner, with a meticulously crafted scheme that they have executed many times before. The plan involves Max marrying Dean and then sexually teasing him during their wedding dinner, allowing for a series of distractions, including her dancing with the busboy, postponing their honeymoon. On their wedding night, Max feigns a fainting spell, avoiding any intimacy and leading to a quick divorce. Meanwhile, Page cunningly poses as Dean’s secretary, further entrapping him in a situation that would justify Max’s request for a hefty divorce settlement.
