Review:
Soo... I am not sure if they had placed it as an Action Movie or a Comedy Movie. For me, it was definitely an Action Comedy Movie. More comedy than action.
It is a brilliant brilliant film in that, it doesn't set out to be smart. It doesn't set out to be action-packed with male testosterone all over the place, nor does it smack of female hormones like a romance film. It is an extremely entertaing movie, very fun to watch.

You know what? It is what I would call, a very good weekday movie. Because... it has some action sequence, so it's not a total bore, and it's funny enough to keep the chuckles coming. The two leads are established actors and actresses, who although show their age, are doing a darn good job. The script is just so corny that it's just solid good fun. It doesn't set out to be too serious, nor is it slapstick funny. To me, this is a very good comedy. Action Romantic Comedy *hey, there is that little bit, itsy bitsy kiss!*... so... go catch it.

Look at it this way, due to a lack of seats, my friend and I were sitted across the aisle (same row), and although I was sitting by myself, I was laughing out loud almost throughout the show. It is good clean fun. Something I have been missing from recent movies. Maybe it's time I caught "the killers". Heard it's also dastardly funny. :)
