“Killers” DVD Review & Giveaway

By /

On September 7th, 2010, Lionsgate Films will release the romantic comedy, “Killers,” on DVD and Blu-ray!  I had been wanting to see this movie when it came out in the theaters, but didn’t make it, so I was super excited to have the opportunity to review it on DVD.  You can find “Killers” on DVD and Blu-ray in stores and online, retailing for $29.95 (DVD) and $39.99 (Blu-ray).

SYNOPSIS

Get ready for a wild ride as Lionsgate releases the unpredictable romantic comedy Killers on September 7th to DVD, Blu-ray Disc, Digital Download, and on Demand.  Led by Hollywood favorites Ashton Kutcher (Valentine’s Day) and Katherine Heigl (Knocked Up), the hilarious action-packed film also stars Tom Selleck (TV’s Jesse Stone: Thin Ice), Catherine O’Hara (For Your Consideration), and Rob Riggle (The Hangover) and was directed by Robert Luketic (The Ugly Truth) from a story by Bob De Rosa and a screenplay by Bob DeRosa and T.M. Griffin.  The comedy about love, marriage, and everything in between comes packaged with to-die-for special features including deleted/alternative/extended scenes, a gag reel, and a “Killer Chemistry: Behind the Scenes with the Killers‘ Cast” featurette.

Jen Kornfeldt (Heigl) thinks she has found the man of her dreams.  He’s smart, charming, and funny.  So what if he’s also…an international spy?  Fresh off a sudden break-up, Kornfeldt reluctantly accompanies her parents on a vacation to the French Riviera.  Unexpectedly, she stumbles upon the perfect guy, the too-good-to-be-true and incredibly handsome Spencer Aimes (Kutcher).  After three wonderful years of romance, the newlyweds prepare to celebrate Aimes’ 30th birthday.  However, events are cut short when bullets start flying, and his little secret is revealed.  Confronting the news head-on, Kornfeldt is determined to discover what else he might be hiding – all the while trying to dodge bullets, keep up neighborly appearances, manage the in-laws, and work out some major trust issues….And you thought suburban life was easy!

    Hmmmm…romantic? I’m not sure I remember romantic but somewhere back in the vague recesses of my mind I remember Waikiki Beach in the moonlight! Of course it may have been the wine rather than romance but it worked! 😉

    I think a romantic place to meet is in high school. You always hear of high school sweethearts. That’s where I met my husband, so I agree that it’s a great place to meet the person you will spend the rest of your life with. Some people may not think it’s overly romantic, but if you are part of a high school sweetheart couple, then you would agree with me.

    I think a romantic place to meet someone would be NYC. That is where my husband proposed to me so it is a very spceial place for us. I would also say on a beach somewhere.

    Afganistan? The smell of gun powder, the thrill of close encounters with death…no? 🙂 Hawaii always seems to be a romantic meeting place…especially Maui.

    Thank you.
