Killers Review: Hitmen And Miss

KILLERS (12A): On General Release From Friday 18th June

I could tell by the exceptionally unimaginative poster that this was going to be another boring Katherine Heigl movie. It shows her holding a gun and looking blonde, buxom and brainless while Ashton Kutcher does his best impersonation of a gormless fish.

I’m afraid to say that the movie lived up to these very low expectations. The plot started out in beautiful Nice where recently single Jen (Heigl) is on holiday with her mum and dad (Catherine O’Hara and Tom Selleck). She runs into Spencer (Kutcher) who’s handsome and charming with a body to die for, but there’s one problem – he’s a hitman. Do It!

The Ugly Truth Review: The Lie’s Not So Pretty Either

THE UGLY TRUTH: On General Release Friday 7th August 2009

News flash: men and women are different!

You run and tell the neighbours while I alert the media!

In The Ugly Truth, Gerard Butler plays chauvinistic TV personality, Mike, while Katherine Heigl plays tightly wound TV producer, Abby.

When Mike is hired by Abby’s station and winds up taking over her show, she enlists him to help her get with her gorgeous neighbour, Colin. These characters are classic screwball ones and that’s just what the movie felt like: a wacky screwball comedy but with none of the class. This movie is American Pie for 30 year olds, which sounds good if you enjoyed American Pie but you may as well go re-watch that than see The Ugly Truth.
Do It!
