I think this is supposed to be a romantic comedy, and there are a few romantic moments – not nearly enough of them – and some comedy – mostly black comedy – but what there is a lot more of is pure silliness.  This is a farce more than anything.  Katherine Heigl is too smart to be playing ditzy.  Ashton Kutcher is the new hubby, and he’s great in the role – he’s playing it straight, and everyone around him is playing over-the-top.  We’ve got the mom who drinks too much the overprotective dad, the gossipy girlfriends and the nosy neighbors.  And who turns out to be the undercover killer?  Ummm…. maybe we should say who does NOT?  Loved seeing France, otherwise, this one’s a rental.
