Jen (Katherine Heigal) tags along with her parent (Tom Selleck and Catherine O'Hara) to take a vacation to Nice.Their Jen grovel over her hard break up with her boy friend then, enters Spencer an assassin sent to Nice for a "job". Jen and Spencer meet each other in a elevator with Spencer saying, "Bonjure" the comedy the ensues with Jen pretending to listen to Spencer speaking french to her when finally she admits that she does not understand a word he is saying. The couple's cutesy flirting turns into a romantic dinner, which leads to some heavy drinking… and Flash forward to the future where they are happily married,, Spencer has renounced the killing gig, married Jen, and moved back to her hometown in the States,Spencer is no longer working as a killer but instead as a corporate consultant. As the years pass, his past finally catches up to him and the comedy pursues with hired guns trying to kill him for twenty million dollars, then while Spencer is being attacked at his house the first time, Jen walks into these shenanigans and flips out, it finally leads to Spencer telling him what he used to do for a living and her walling over the fact that she married a killer. As they fight with each other the rest of the time they are being followed ,she feels sick and come to find out the she is pregnant. As the movie comes to a close there is a small twist that works itself out.The Killers is a cheap rendition of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", while they choose some great actors for the movie they put almost no effort into taking the acting serious, the actors were attractive but the chemistry was not flowing . The script fell short of its goal. The comedy as a whole was dry, and the plot was very unbelievable their was enough holes in the movie to strain spaghetti. Overall I would say, to not waste you're time on a flop that is attaining and boring, spend you're money on something with more excitement.
I actually liked the movie. I mean, it wasn't the greatest movie in the world, but I liked the two together and it was entertaining. I know I would be terrified to find out that my husband used to be a killer.. and then the twist at the end that her dad was in on it.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't appeal to me...Mr. and Mrs. Smith was great but I think you're right about this one being a poor take-off on it. I'll pass, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI heard it was pretty atrocious and dutifully stayed away. Glad to hear your affirming it. I think.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen this movie yet. I actually heard horrible reviews, but I love both of these actors so I will definitely be renting it soon. Thanks for your input!
ReplyDeleteI am going to watch this one, eventually. I like Katherine Heigl and it's kind of a "chick-friendly" movie. A nice excape after all of the heavy literature we've been reading lately!
