    An overload of clichés
    This movie would have been good if it wasn't so pathetic. After a brief introduction to a premise, the movie gets into full gear with a bunch of tried and tested (and by now irritating) onslaught of clichés. The ending turns out to be the now standard for all cliché movies, a complete twist or turn around. I mean you spend 70 mins of the movie watching something so predictable and in the very end you watch something that is a complete turnaround, which is illogical all so that some producer or director can say that the movie "is not cliché". It would have refreshing if this itself , ironically ,hadnt been turning into a cliché. Vaughn and Aniston do not share an on-screen chemistry and all they can achieve are bids to out do each other. As usual the trailer of the movie is very well done and gives the impression of a great movie but if all you wanted to see what was the best bits of the movie, just stick with the trailer. I would say this movie is recommended only for fans of Vaughn or Aniston who would rather get pleasure watching the actors rather the actual movie itself.
