It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
There are a lot of flaws in this movie - making light of domestic violence is a glaring one - but the genuine chemistry between the two leads kept me interested and caring about their outcome. Both Butler and Aniston have great screen presence and they make the most of their characters (a situation where both characters would not be likeable if these two actors hadn't played them, basically). But if you like these two, you will probably be able to enjoy the film.
Jennifer Aniston movie career is very hit and miss to say the least, for every "Horrible Bosses" or "We're The Millers" there is a "The Switch" or "Management".Plot In A Paragraph: Reporter Nicole Hurley (Jennifer Aniston) skips bail to follow a hot lead. Her ex husband Milo Boyd (Gerrard Butler) is given the dream job of chasing down his ex wife. Sadly this is the latter, ridiculously predictable, with two leads who have little chemistry (despite rumours of an alleged off screen romance) and few jokes, this is not the fun romp I was expecting. Butler does OK, but the stars of the show are Jason Sudeikis (as a sleazy co worker of Aniston) and Christine Baranski (as Aniston's mother Kitty) who steal every scene they are in, and quite frankly the movie is poorer when they are not on screen. I'll admit from the off, that I am bias when it comes to Aniston. I love her. With her gorgeous girl next door looks, I adore her, and will usually give anything she is in a chance. she remains one of the most talented and beautiful women in movies, and her ladylike sexiness is in rare supply. Any movie becomes promising just by having her name in it's cast. But she needs to pick her projects better than this.
Nicole Hurley (Jennifer Aniston) is a reporter working on a cover up. She misses a court date from a fender bender with a cop. Milo Boyd (Gerard Butler) is her ex-husband bounty hunter. He jumps on the chance to catch her. When he catches up, it sets off a series of adventures.Jennifer Aniston is loud and smart. Gerard Butler is loud and brash. They have some chemistry together because they're basically the same person. But their sparring doesn't quite translate into hilarity.The bad guys and their caper lead them to a friend from their past. The goons aren't funny enough. And quite frankly, neither is the movie. This movie needs better joke writers than relying on the Bickersons to argue a comedy out of it.
Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston stink to high Heaven in this seriously awful film.I got as far as them talking at Cupid's Cabin and by then I felt my life slipping away and had to turn it off or I would have started self-harming.The acting, direction, script, plot, in fact everything was s-h-i-t-e! Neither Aniston and Butler have on screen charisma and together it was a toxic mix.It was like watching a Film Making for Dummies 1-0-1. Predictable. Cliché.One of the worst films I have seen.
