BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
gamergcfan The first 45 minutes is a bit boring, but at least the movie got better after that. There was a lack of humour, enjoyment value, and character development for the drama there to be enjoyable. After the uninteresting part, we get treated to action. It's fast-paced and fun but forgettable. There are some mildly amusing jokes and funny action parts here, but nothing too memorable.The first 45 minutes are almost a waste of time, but after that, it's action that is enjoyable. When compared to Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Knight & Day, the movie contains less action (the action is slightly less enjoyable and more forgettable) and more drama (which is less interesting when compared to the other movies mentioned).+ Some interesting actionDraggy first 45 minutesNothing that funny at all
Jackson Booth-Millard I saw the trailer for this film during its release, so I remembered the leading actor and actress starring, I think it was them and the title that attracted me to watching, I ignored the negative reviews, directed by Robert Luketic (Legally Blonde, Monster-in-Law, 21). Basically Spencer Aimes (Razzie winning Ashton Kutcher) appears to be an average guy to ordinary people, but he is actually an undercover, government-hired assassin who often spends his time in exotic Euopean locations, flashy cars and surrounded by beautiful women. But things are due to change for him when whilst in Nice, France, he meets beautiful, fun-loving computer technician Jennifer "Jen" Kornfeldt (Katherine Heigl), she is recently recovering from a break-up, Spencer has found true love. In a fairly short period, after returning to America, Spencer finds Jen and is keen to marry her, he gets the permission of her father Mr. Kornfeldt (Tom Selleck) and boozy mother Mrs. Kornfeldt (Catherine O'Hara), Jen is overjoyed, and Spencer drops international intrigue for domestic bliss. Of course escaping the assassination business is not that easy for Spencer, there will always be someone trying to catch or kill him, it is on his 30th birthday that he is now the target of a multi-million dollar hit, and worse is that the stalkers have been watching him and Jen for years, they could be close friends, neighbours, grocery store staff or an old man across the street. Jen is shocked to find out Spencer's true profession when he is targeted in their own home, they are forced to go on the run, their happy suburban life turns into a paranoid game of dodge-the-bullet, she is naturally mad that he has hidden this secret from her all the years they have been together. Spencer and Jen must now find out who is targeting him and why, while also trying to rescue their marriage in the process, manage the in-laws and keep up appearances to the neighbours, and just survive the chaos. Also starring Katheryn Winnick as Vivian, Kevin Sussman as Mac Bailey, Lisa Ann Walter as Olivia Brooks, Casey Wilson as Kristen, Rob Riggle as Henry, Martin Mull as Holbrook, Family Guy's Alex Borstein as Lily Bailey and rapper Usher Raymond a Kevin the Manager. Kutcher has always been a limited actor, only The Butterfly Effect and Punk'd stand out in mind as being any good, he cannot pull off the charming hit-man image well enough, at least Heigl is nice looking and is amusing being both unknowing and feisty, Selleck gets his moments as the wise father and O'Hara is likable as the often drinking and mugging mother. This could have been a good film, but it is a bit mixed throughout, the first half with the couple falling for each other while the guy's secret is hidden is fine, and it certainly picks up with pace once they are in danger from other hit men, but it can be predictable most of the way, and I admit I didn't laugh a lot, I don't think it's as bad as one star out of five like critics give it, it's not the worst action comedy. Adequate!
Python Hyena The Killers (2010): Dir: Robert Luketic / Cast: Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl, Tom Selleck, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Mull: Mindless torture comedy with a title that refers not just to the married couple, but also to every single nitwit they cross paths with. Katherine Heigl plays a newly single woman on vacation with her parents. She meets handsome stranger Ashton Kutcher whom she immediately hooks up with then director Robert Luketic bolts us quickly into three years of marriage. Suddenly Heigl learns that her true blue husband is a spy when neighbors, friends, the postman, co-workers, the kitchen sink, etc, tries to kill them. Luketic previously made the underrated comedy Win a Date With Tad Hamilton, and also directed Heigl in the smash hit The Ugly Truth. Here he is all over the place and nothing makes sense. Kutcher seems too young to play this spy whose past catches up with him. Heigl says the wrong things and her little truce circle is completely ludicrous. She learns that she is pregnant right around the time Kutcher discovers that his boss is dead. Tom Selleck and Catherine O'Hara share in the shame as Heigl's parents whom she is constantly relying on. The twist regarding Selleck isn't much of a surprise, and O'Hara's reaction will be ours if alcohol is handy concluding this film. Martin Mull is a waste as Kutcher's boss but one can be sure that this is not how he wants to conclude his career. The action is well done but hardly makes up for the constant irritation of double crosses. It could have been a satire about marriage but instead it is a film fit for knife throwing practice. Score: 2 / 10
brimcq5477 i know..i watched a movie with 2 of my least favorite stars.. Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher..and i wasn't even drinking! Something about her i can't state what makes her movies crap.. she just either isn't believable or likable or both! She again in this movie is o.k.. Ashton Kutcher is his typical douche bag self..nothing special.. If i had to pick something good out of this craptastic film it was Tom Selleck as Heigl's father.. Reminded me of his "Magnum P.I." days. Katherine Heigl i don't think was destined to be a movie star.. She should stick to television or at least work with a stronger actor in the lead role.. i say all this but it wasn't the worst movie i have seen.. maybe she will get better...who knows?
