This movie is about four couples who meet every year for a one week vacation and explore their marital relationships. Perry covers the entire ground with these eight characters -- we have the understanding couples, we have fighting couples and we have couples that are no longer couples. We have rich successful wives and we have poor broke wives. This movie is essentially a chick flick, but is quite watchable and may even be nice for people in relationships to go watch and in turn explore their own relationships. However, the movie does follow a formula pattern and is not unpredictable.
The movie has a good premise but poor execution, screenplay,
crude humor and wasted comic talent. Ben Stiller is Ed Cantrow, owner of a sporting goods store in San Francisco. A never married bachelor at 40, he rushes into an unwise marriage and falls in love with another girl on his honeymoon on a vacation beach in Mexico.
This is an easily forgettable movie.
Peter Berg's 'The Kingdom' starts off with a brief and interesting history of oil and US/Saudi relationships.
Loosely based on a real life 1996 bombing incident, the movie begings with a horrific terrorist action against a US compound in the The Kingdom (Saudi Arabia) and then quickly turns to your typical blow up action genre that looks like a video game.
Jamie Foxx plays Agent Ronald Fleury, an FBI agent and a dad and family man. He muzzles his way into Saudi Arabia, along with his team, played by Jennifer Garner as a sensitive yet tough forensics expert, Chris Copper as explosives specialist Grant Sykes and a wise cracking Jason Bateman. Once in The Kingdom they find themselves baby sat by another sincere family man and Saudi police officer Colnel Faris Al-Ghazi who ends up playing on their side. Then, there is a young Saudi Prince played by Omar Berdouni and an assorted set of other characters including a Saudi Republican Guard General AL Abdulmalik and the terrorist master mind Abu Hamzi.
The movie continues with the FBI team investigating the bombing the CSI way, and ends with a highway chase that turns to a convenient rescue and recovery operation. And oh - there is a final message at the end that is both naive and unwarranted.
