We watched the movie last week with the kids and I was pleased that this was the Adam Sandler I was used to. The last film I saw from him, Grown-Ups, was a disappointment. But this wasn’t. Maybe because his usual formula of stars and toilet humor was pleasantly absent. The setting was a usual location from his blockbuster movies though – Hawaii – but it wasn’t that disappointing. In fact, I loved it! The story line is unique too (No they didn’t go to any malibu rehab center) and I constantly was laughing all throughout the movie. You got to watch out for the daughter there (Maggie) and Palmer (Brooklyn Decker – in picture). Who knew Jennifer Aniston can deliver comedy punchlines (I forget – she IS Rachel from F.R.I.E.N.D.S!) – still got a bangin’ bod too!

Plot Summary:

Milo Boyd, a down-on-his-luck bounty hunter, gets his dream job when he is assigned to track down his bail-jumping ex-wife, reporter Nicole Hurly. He thinks all that’s ahead is an easy payday, but when Nicole gives him the slip so she can chase a lead on a murder cover-up, Milo realizes that nothing ever goes simply with him and Nicole. The exes continually one-up each other – until they find themselves on the run for their lives. They thought their promise to love, honor and obey was tough – staying alive is going to be a whole lot tougher.

What I Thought About It:

1. First, I seriously think Jennifer Aniston’s look is getting old – same gorgeous hair, same type of neutral colored clothes, same everything. No doubt, she LOOKS great but – any change m’dear? It wont hurt.

2. I honestly dont think they have chemistry. Too rough-house for Butler and too understatedly sophisticated Aniston.

3. The story works but if it wasnt the big stars playing the roles, it would have been a flop. Wait – wasn’t it?
