"Nobody follow us or I'll kill myself, then her" - Cruise & Diaz doing it KNIGHT & DAY trailer!

By Matt Holmes / June 23, 2011

Ok, so it's a little broader than I would have liked. Yeah, and the trailer makes NO SENSE AT ALL. The movie looks very dumb. Fine. These are all valid claims. I'm not going to argue. BUT, I laughed. I wanna see where it's going. The chemistry between Tom Cruise & Cameron Diaz is still there after nearly a decade of separation from Vanilla Sky and ok, it's not as sexy as Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and it's unbelievably even more absurd than that movie BUT, I still think I'm going to pay money to see it. I just like these two together and it's inoffensively, light-hearted dumb. And any movie that gets people laughing with Cruise and not laughing at him (Valkyrie) is a good time at the movies, I'd say. It's pretty smart to cut the trailer with the bookends of a conversation between Diaz, and Oh, that guy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer who nearly ruined the whole frikkin' show a couple of seasons too early, so let's give him a lame mustache so no-one will even notice. I thought that worked ok. Erm, did I mention I laughed?

Come on man, the leap from the bike onto the hood of the car. Is that not kind of cool? Ok go on... tell me I've lost my mind!
