Good for what it is

Rating: Null/10 (29 August 2006)

This is an old fashioned Hollywood movie - put the two prettiest actors together and give them a thin plot to work with. Spend a ton on production design, wardrobe etc and let the people storm the ticket booths. This is a M - O - V - I -E; moving pictures in the grand old tradition. Moves quick with spunky dialog spiked up by Vince Vaughan who, for the 27th time, plays the exact same character he played in his first movie with Jonathan Favreau. Rentable, family fare. You can bet that there will be a Mr. and Mrs. Smith 2 giving them the chance to drag out their kids to get in front of the camera. The movie made so much cash that there has to be a 2nd one given that so many far less successful movies have had sequels.
