This was in no way a good movie. The studio was trying its damnedest to make Katherine Heigl a star and it was just not going to happen for them. If this had gone to Elizabeth Banks, it might have been a whole different story. She has the ability to play dumbfounded without looking dumb, and concerned without being shrill. Katherine Heigl is not "zany" or "quirky" or "fun". She needs roles where she can be ice-cold and a ball-buster. I hate saying this, but Ashton Kutcher was the best part of this movie and he's terrible.Jen (Katherine Heigl) is on vacation in France with her parents after a break-up when she meets Spencer (Ashton Kutcher). After a whirlwind romance, they marry and move back to the States. She has no idea that her husband used to be a secret agent for the government until one of their neighbors (a woefully misused Rob Riggle) reveals himself to be a hit man intent on killing them. Jen and Spence must avoid assassins while they try to determine who is pulling the strings.
As far as assassin comedies go, there are so many better ones out there. Don't waste your time on this one.
