Bought this last week on Blu and spun it the other night, a very enjoyable, fun, action comedy. A simple story, predictable no doubt but it did have a some good laughs, action, and was just plain fun to watch. I enjoy McConaughey and Hudson is always nice on screen. The Blu disc PQ was fantastic, the audio...just ok, only a DD track which was a bummer.

I'd recommend it as a fun, family rental.
If...
Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
Ron loves a film = don't even rent.

    Decent romantic comedy / Action movie, but IMO absolutely no replay value. I saw it in the theater when it came out and enjoyed, but could even finish it when I rented the DVD.

    Rent before you buy.

    The girlfriend made me go see this pos when it was in the theater..total garbage that's not even worth a rental.

    This could easily get a nomination for worst movie of the year!

    Instead of renting it, I made the wife get it from the library!

    Even if you didn't like the movie, Kate Hudson and Alexis Dziena are hot. Those bikini shots are worth the rental alone. One in paticular! :D Fun flick with lots of eye candy. :)



    I didn't really like the movie but those certain shots you were talking about made it watchable.:D


    I wouldn't buy it though...
