Rating: PG-13
Movie Release Date: June 1, 2010
DVD Release Date: TBD
Plot 411: A spy's desire to live a normal life is threatened when his work comes searching for him.
Review: Spencer (Ashton Kutcher) is a spy working for an unnamed entity. But when he meets Jen (Katherine Heigl), he gives it all up for a normal life. Things are going well, but Spencer's past soon comes back to haunt the couple. He must now find a way to live long enough to explain everything to Jen. I don't even know what this movie is going for, but whatever it is, it's a failure. It never gets anywhere close to romantic to appeal to the rom com crowd. The action is all shot close up with quick cuts and shakey cam so it doesn't really appeal to the action crowd. The comedy in the dialogue is poorly written so no one laughs out loud. The fault could also be due to the lack of chemistry between Kutcher and Heigl. I was hoping for something more along the lines of Mr. And Mrs. Smith, but this isn't it. Also in this film are Tom Selleck, Catherine O'Hara and Kevin Sussman, with a cameo by Usher Raymond.
Watch It: For another, more corporeal, reason to fall in love with Kutcher.

Skip It: If you're looking for any kind of entertanment. It just falls completely flat.
