People are generally honest, except when they choose not to be !

These two movies ( The Heart breakers and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) seem to be siblings from the happy Hollywood family. The main characters in these two movies raise conman-ship to an art form ! If you have come across ladies/men who run apartment complexes , the ones who sell insurance, the recruiters and receptionists, you will value the education these two movies provide specially for newcomers to America. If you do not learn anything, you will at least become familiar with their style of conversation !
You will see very colorful and impressively big mansions, hotels and boats in these movies. Then you will see people with equally big greed hovering around their owners trying to outsmart them out of their wealth. Who wins the game - the ladies or the gentleman ? the owners or the cons ? You will have to watch these two humorous and 'intelligent' movies to get the answer !
In Heart-breakers, the mom confesses at the end that she was orchestrating all the con games to monitor her daughter who is always scheming to get rich. A noble cause indeed. She and her daughter work as a team but stay away from each other while they lure rich men to fall in love with one of the two. The other one then starts a seduction game to cause a divorce that yields them a tidy severance amount!! The two use ingenious tricks to get free stay and meals at fancy hotels and restaurants while the con game is on!! [ Kids, do not imitate this in real life!].
In DRS, the men end up losing but take their loss in good humor until their so called 'victim' shows up again !! They hold a bet to see which one of the two can lure a rich woman out of her savings just like the ladies in Heart Breakers. However, their location is France and the actors give an impression of being suave and sophisticated.
Now we know why there is little trust these days between people specially in USA!
