Movie Summary[]
Premise[]
In Paris, a young employee in the office of the US Ambassador hooks up with an American spy looking to stop a terrorist attack in the city.
Story[]
James Reese has a good job as an ambassador's aid in France, but his real passion is a side gig, working in a minor role in the CIA. He would love to be a full-fledged agent and can't believe his luck when he lands an assignment with Charlie Wax. Trigger-happy Charlie soon has James crying for his desk job, but when he learns that the same guys they're trying to catch are after him, James realizes that Charlie may be his only hope of survival.
Starring[]
- Jonathan Rhys Meyers as "Bad Mustache John"
- John Travolta as "Doughy, Bald John"
Running Gags[]
- Jonathan Rhys Meyers has a "very unbelievable" American accent.
- John(athan Seymour) Travolta is too fat to be believable as an action star. Stuart feels pity for the stuntman who had to strap on a fat suit and run around on the rooftops.
- The love story of the movie is clearly the one between Jonathan Rhys Meyers (the "straight" man) and John Travolta.
- Travolta's character is extremely unlikeable, but he's supposed to be charming

Final Judgments[]
- Bad-Bad movie. He'd rather watch Tango & Cash 100 times. (Elliott)
- The best movie he's ever seen. No, it was terrible. He'd rather watch Event Horizon, which is 1/3 of a good movie and has Larry Fishburne in it. (Stuart)
- He rips his own eyes out. Where he's going, he won't need eyes. (Dan)

Movie Pitches[]
- Farting In Bed: A Terrorist Story A terrorist woman is forced to have a romance with a boorish embassy official for year after year as hilarious delays keep them from carrying out their plan. Elliott's version of the poster would be "FIB". But then people might think it's about lying.
