Killers

Starring:Ashton Kutcher(What Happens in Vegas, Personal Effects, Valentines Day)
Katherine Heigl(Knocked Up, 27 Dresses, The Ugly Truth)
Directed by: Robert Luketic
Killers is an action/comedy film released by Lionsgate pictures. It has quite a list of producers - seven in fact - most notably Ashton Kutcher who stars as well.
Jen Kornfeldt is an overly cautious girl who breaks up with a boyfriend and travels to Nice with her parents to forget about the break-up. While there she meets Spencer Aimes, the man of her dreams, and they are happily married. Unfortunately the man of her dreams turns out to be a contract killer - retired- so the fun and games begin. Spencer becomes a wanted man with a price on his head ; how does Jen cope?
Ashton Kutcher is NOT one of my favourites by any long stretch of the imagination so I am always wary about his presence in any movie and I am afraid he missed out by a long shot on this movie. Katherine Heigl is generally quite a good actress but the material she was given was very stilted and formulaic in this particular case. The mother (Catherine O'Hara) was a bit of a hoot - otherwise an ordinary cast in an extremely ordinary film.
I give it two and a half stars out of five.
