Katrherine Heigl plays Jenn Kornfeldt, a depressed neurotic
with chronic stomach issues who’s just been dumped by a boyfriend and tags along with her boozer mom (Catherine O’Hara)
and bossy ex-Marine dad (Tom Selleck) on their French Riviera vacation. When she runs into a bare-chested Spencer (Kutcher)
and his bulging biceps while munching on Maalox in the hotel elevator, there’s instant mutual infatuation, and there’s
no turning back once he uses his handy professional-strength dagger to remove her one-size-too-small dress. As the story fast-forwards
three years into their courtship and matrimony, Spencer continues periodically carrying out hits, while Jen doesn’t
happen to notice a thing.
But when close pals and neighbors start gunning for Spencer and she observes more than
a few best friend beatdowns by her spouse, Jen begins to get hunches this may not be your typical suburban marriage. When
he fesses up, insisting he only kills bad guys, Jen is soon inducted as a sidekick—namely because the pair are running
for their lives, without a cop ever in sight.
