I saw this new trailer for Knight & Day a few nights ago, and I was kind of blown away by how craptastic it looks. Like, did you ever watch The Bourne Identity and wish it had more Cameron Diaz pratfalls? No? Well, too bad. This film seems to borrow heavily from Mr. & Mrs. Smith, the Bourne series, plus a dash of Cameron Diaz acting wacky in just about every comedy she’s made:
The digital effects are truly terrible, right? But I did enjoy Tom Cruise’s “SQUEEE!!” jump face. Agent Bedhead points out that “the movie really emphasizes the ‘Crazy Cruise’ vibe and completely runs with it. This is a rather clever (i.e., predictable yet still amusingly tongue-in-cheek) approach of capitalizing upon Cruise’s couch-jumping reputation, but I still think the man himself really is an unhinged, lift-wearing midget.” I think that’s how we should refer to Tom from now on. We should just say, “Oh, Tom? The unhinged, lift-wearing midget. Him. Did you see his face when he jumped?”

I don’t understand these 2 in a film together – she’s so tall and he’s so short. She is tall, right? Or does she just seem tall? Some people are like that.
Not Vanilla Sky again! Yuck.
She is tall and I got heavy Mr and Mrs Smith vibe from it to. I thought that was just me. Just some parts seem to resemble it, like when she is only wearing a shirt, a men’s shirt. I think I am ready to see Tom in some more serious roles again. Its so sad to see him lose that movie star sparkle he once had. Its so sad.
Who did the casting? These two are terrible together. This looks like a snoozefest repeat of Vanilla Sky,
The only reason I would even think for a second about seeing this movie is the fact that Riley from Buffy is in it! But I guess his part is pretty bit, so nahhh.
My vote is for the unhinged, lift-wearing midget. Also add paranoid, domineering asshole and I think you got it!
Kaiser, I have to applaud you…..best title ever.
I’ll take option B for 20 points…
I liked Vanilla Sky I thought they both did a pretty good job, can’t wait to see this movie, I’m sure people are going to love it!
Kayla – I loved Buffy with Riley! Didn’t last long but he was hot!
OH I think it looks good I will probably go see it!
Tom+Carman= WTF?
definitely unhinged
Am I the only one who thinks this looks like it could be entertaining? Not life changing, entertaining.
I thought Vanilla Sky was pretty good actually. And the pairing worked for me too. Man, I think I may rent that one this weekend too, it’s been a while.
I’ve seen this trailer a few times as well. I cannot imagine anyone wanting to see this movie even if the tickets are free. With free popcorn. And free drinks.
I’m just so over Tom Cruise. He overshadows his films now, but in a good dramatic role I can maybe get past that. In a goofy action thriller, not so much. I didn’t really care for Mr. & Mrs. Smith, so if this is similar, I’ll probably pass.
They are an odd pairing. He must have needed mega-lifts to stand next to her!
That actually looks pretty fun and I’m not a Cruise fan. My only hesitation is that I have no desire to see them make out and I’m sure there is some of that in the film. It would at least be fun to see all the ways they come up with to make him seem taller than her. He’s probably standing on a box a lot of the time.
I think TC should do comedy b/c he killed in Tropic Thunder.
Not a movie I would see….pretty much done with Tom…the lift-wearing midget. Too much crazy going on with him these days….waaaaaay too much.
I thought Cam was only 5’9″ that’s not that tall, it isn’t short either, but somehow 5’10’ or 5″ or beyond is tall to me. And how tall is Tom is he 5’7″ or less? I really want to know.
Cam Diaz was a model so she’s at least 5’8 and Tommy can’t be over 5’5 so, WHY?? She must have had to stand in a pit when they were shot side by side or Tommy wore 5′ heels.
Anyway, the trailer looks like a hot mess; just the usual car crashes and heavy guns. Everybody has seen this before.
According to imdb, he’s 5’7″ and she’s 5’9″ so she’s not THAT much taller. Still, I’m sure he’s wearing lifts in the film.
hairball I’m with you..I hate cruise and diaz but this actually looked like fun.
a little of one and a lot of the other
LOL!!! How bad does that look. Please TC, go AWAY! Or maybe stick around a wee bit longer because you do actually crack me up and there arent enough cheap laughs in the world. How many apple boxes must they have carted around the set so that he could stand next to CD without his testicles retracting into his body?? What a douche.
“unhinged, lift-wearing midget” – I think that covers it.
What the hell is going on in the first pic? Are they in front of a painting?
@kelly bahaha thanks for the chuckle
@moo you are so right.
There is no way on earth I would watch this awful movie it just looks stupid, and if it looks stupid it probably is.
I’m gonna go for “unhinged, lift-wearing midget.” I could add a few others in there, but I’ve been up since 3 this morning and just don’t feel up to it right now.
Didn’t even bother to watch the trailer, since I’ve no interest in the movie. I try to avoid unhinged midget starring movies whenever possible.
I couldn’t get past the Tom Cruise Crazy Grin. Or maybe it was just the Tom Cruise.
Tropic Thunder was his best role in years. I agree that he overshadows his roles . We saw Valkyre and it wasn’t bad but TommyBoy was the elephant in the film. Every other actor became their role and Tommy was just crazy Xenu loving Tommy.
But Kaiser was spot on…lift wearing midget….. I love it.
It Seems As If They’re Both Trying Too Hard To Be Funny, Which Is NOT A Good Sign For The Film…
that looks like fun filled wild ride 🙂
The worst case of closeted Littlemantis ever. Love that pic of him flying down like he just saw bare mancheeks. What an idiot.
I resent that he constantly tries to force himself on the public that he’s a hero.
Now with this latest news of upper ranked Scientology beat-downs (and Katie’s unexplained bruises), I think there’s a great probability that he’s far darker than just annoying.
He just seems saturated with delusions and facade, sick.
Yes, Tom killed in Tropic Thunder. Maybe because he was almost totally unrecognisable as himself!
I’m not a Tom Cruise fan but I must say I’ve enjoyed him more, gossip-wise, after all the crazy came out. The movie looks like mindless fun, so I’ll probably watch it.
Heck, he’s given me hours of entertainment indirectly because of all the gossip surrounding him, the least I can do is go watch his film that looks like fun.
(Plus, Suri is my favorite celebrity baby! So pretty and has a lot of personality. Who cares if she’s Tom’s, L.Ron’s or Chris Klein’s? Tom is raising her, she’s Tom’s daughter.)
Love the title, love the story! You couldn’t pay me to see this!
well where do i start… because tom cruse got the second aireing of the south park episode “why wont tom cruse come out of the closet” pulled i cant really respect him. this new movie is just another attempt for people to forget that he’s just another actor. He needs to really convince me to be a fan again… Sorry Tom…
