Knight and Day

This movie brings together a very likable actress, Cameron Diaz, and Tom Cruise, who needs no introduction as a movie star.  He plays a super-spy in this movie who brings Diaz's character along on a violent spree through the U.S. and abroad as he attempts to save a teenager who designed a new power source.  The plot is pretty thin, but has some funny moments as the two actors spar in extreme circumstances.  Diaz's panic and refusal to wait for the count of 3 and Cruise's "with me, without me" hand motions stuck in my mind as funny moments -- it's too bad they were also in the previews.  Overall, I thought the movie was alright.  It's an action-comedy-romance, so there's a lot of being chased by bad guys and some fairly predictable twists.  The ending was also a tad long and predictable.
