I have no idea what made me decide to watch this outside of liking
all of it's stars. I was doing some work and wanted to throw something
on in the background and wanted something that wouldn't be too demanding
(what a horrible criteria for picking a film to view...) it's premise
is a fun one - combine a rom-com with espionage. However the problem is
is that it means in the middle without bringing any of the real fun
from either genre. Outside of the opening and the ending the spy stuff
is pretty lame (and I kind of have a hard time buying that someone at
the CIA wouldn't crack down on them for their abusing company
resources. In fact, that should have been a late act twist - where all
their power as agents is taken away and they have to win the girl - and
defeat the bad guy without their main weapon they've had all the time,
but I digress.
Reese looks lovely here and she and the others have
light moments to shine and they do quite well - it's just not a
terribly entertaining film and it never draws me in. I was interested
in who she'd pick in the end, but I couldn't really care less who she
ended up with as I didn't really get a sense of love from any of the
parties...
So I don't recommend or condemn this one - go with your guy - it's on netflix.
