Sleek, but predictable romantic action comedy

Rating: 5/10 (22 June 2005)

This is a concept designed to get couples to agree on which movie to watch: action and Angelina Jolie for the guy, romantic comedy and Brad Pitt for the girl.
The action sequences are good - well executed, funny and often beautiful. The chemistry between the leads is great.
However, the movie's also entirely forgettable as the story is too predictable for words, there's next to no characterization and the thinnest of plots.
All in all, while it's not something you need to see in the theater, it still provides some laughs and entertaining action scenes. Recommended for a hang-over video session.
