Story: All that carefree June wanted was to attend her sister's wedding and be in time for her outfit trial. But ah! she ended up boarding the wrong flight to Boston which happened to have rogue CIA operative Roy Miller on board too. This is the beginning of a zany adventure which sees Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise discover romance in exotic locales and expedient circumstances.
Movie Review: Can you actually fall in love while being trapped in an exploding car, a crashing plane, a vicious gun battle, a beastly bull run or a death defying car chase? You can, if you play your roles perfectly. Like Tom Cruise, who steps into the super shoes of the archetypal knight in shining armour and Cameron Diaz who dances around in a billowy dress and high boots like the typical damsel in distress. And together, the Cruise-Cameron chemistry creates the perfect Me-Tarzan, You-Jane typical portrait that has thrilled mankind since Adam fig-leafed Eve.

The actor duo return after a long gap since their pairing in Vanilla Sky and this time they actually do set the screen ablaze in a goofball comic adventure that multi-tasks magnificently. It makes you laugh, clap and howl with glee with its corny situations and sheer absurdity even as it sets the adrenalin on OD (overdose) with its believe-it-or-not action cuts. Unconvinced? So how's this? Cruise kills an entire planeload of rogues without losing a hair, while Cameron powders her nose and prepares for some X-rated fun with enigmatic co-passenger! And mind you, there are zillions of such zany situations in this romantic adventure where all that Cruise must do is save a magical, minuscule, mighty powerful battery and its inventor from a bunch of global crooks and a misguided agency. As for Cameron, all that the script demands from her is to be herself: ditzy, balsy, sexy and sunshiny. Of course, Ms Diaz ain't no mean star herself. So, she does get to play the knight too in a classic reversal of roles, which has you grinning from ear to ear.
The duo are electric. The repartee is rollicking. The action is completely over the top. And the film is such a chaloo cheeseburst, you just can't miss it.
Go, sink your teeth in it.
