KILLERS: THE MOST ADORABLE NEWLYWEDS PACKING HEAT (NOT!)

Jen Kornfeldt: How weird is this going to get?
Because some things you cannot unsee.

...Like this movie for one. Just another silly movie in a long line of silly movies trying to find some kind of charisma that matched Angelina and Brad had in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. By any means this is not a good film. It is full of inappropriate reactions and predictable behaviors and everything is treated way too lightly because the rest of the film certainly does not follow the comedy genre. It makes no sense why they meet in the first place. So basically, the film is about this worldly suave highly capable expert enforcer (Ashton Kutcher) who accidentally runs into "Jen" (Katherine Heigl) somehow manages to fall in love with her and starts a whole new life putting his past behind him. Although we all know that a past like that does not stay secret for long. The ending is convoluted and if possible even more silly than the beginning. This movie was basically painful to watch. Catherine O'Hara and Tom Selleck as Jen's parents offer up a little bit of substance to enjoy. Additionally when the bonus features offer 17 alternate endings I get a little suspicious that they didn't quite know where they were going with the film in the first place. All in all it was a movie that should be missed at all costs.
