Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz (really cute together) and Peter Sarsgaard

Tom Cruise plays Roy Miller, a spy/CIA type extraordinaire. Nothing stops him, and he's a one-man killing machine. Enter June Havens, played by Cameron Diaz, a bright, cute car mechanic from the midwest, now living in Boston. The two hour plus movie flies by as you wonder what shenanigans these two will get into next. Miller is being chased by two different groups of good guy/bad guys who are trying to get their hands on a super new power battery, created by a young adult named Simon Feck (played by the mute brother in Little Miss Sunshine). Miller is also trying to protect Simon from the bad guys. Throughout the movie June is very drawn to Roy - infatuated, actually, but she always wonders if HE is the good guy or bad guy. Okay, there's nothing new or special in the plot, the setting skips around the world a bit, which is fun, but the reparte between the two leads is really a blast. I enjoyed every moment of the movie. It's refreshing to see something that isn't sappy, isn't deep, just fun and funny. A perfect first-date movie!
