Not as bad as pretty much all the critics say it is. It's entertainment! Not art! I don't think I can stress that enough. The director may have intended for this to be "the" romance thriller of the year and a wonderful film. The film was wonderful (I say that loosely) but it wasn't the best of the year. Vienna and Paris was a nice setting for the movie. It's pretty and interesting.Anyone will love it, especially if you have never been for yourself.
I sensed some chemistry between Johnny and Angelina... it wasn't much. Angelina played the role of the upper class well mannered woman well. Johnny played a very convincing dumb American tourist (speaking Spanish to the Italians... WTH). The match wasn't made in heaven but it was close enough for me. Ultimately this movie was a nice way to burn an hour and thirty minutes. It was entertaining, laughable, and quite enjoyable for those you know how to sit back, relax and shut the fuck up about all the things wrong with it.It was not the best, but most definitely not the worst.
