Great Movie - much better than expected

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2005)

Like many I was apprehensive about seeing this , figuring it was all about chemistry and wouldn't be that great on the actual story.
Boy was I wrong.
From the beginning of the two of them sitting in a doctor's office (as shown in the trailer), throughout the entire movie, I felt like I was watching a "married" Butch Cassidy and Sundance.
It may be a victim of poor marketing - is it an action movie, a comedy or a romance? It's all three. When we were walking in, I thought "PG?" come on - but seriously, there is nothing in this movie that anyone would not enjoy or be offended at. It's just plain FUNNY. And not funny bad but everyone was laughing in the theatre at the jokes and this has sequel needed, written all over it.
Certainly Brad Pitt looks like he's enjoying himself, much like in Ocean's 11 and 12 , as opposed to being a caricature (as in Troy) and Jolie never looked or acted better. I can certainly see why people who saw this while being made said these two should be together. I can't imagine anyone else being able to pull off the whole married assassin look.
Personally, I can't wait for the DVD and I would pay extra for the premium stuff with outtakes, etc. I'm almost ready to go see it again.
