Review of The Tourist

The Tourist (I) (2010)
8/10
Charming and romantic spy comedy. Just lovely and funny. Beware: wrongly marketted as a thriller, which it is NOT.

Marketted the wrong way because it was sold as a spy thriller, which it is not, because it is just a lovely charming spy COMEDY. Probably better suited for a female or family audience then for men, because of it's elegant nature and female fashionability. Not an action comedy, it's more a charming romantic spy comedy. Quite elegant. A nice bit of entertainment for everyone above 12 years old.

James Bond pictures used to be this funny and charming in the sixties and seventies. But since James Bond has become way too serious nowadays and Johnny English with Rowan Atkinson is a bit too silly, "The Tourist" is the perfectly balanced spy comedy.The story is about Angelina Jolie who plays a ravishing looking secret agent who is in search of an infamous criminal. Johnny Depp plays the hilariouslu funny role of an innocent dorky bystander who accidentally gets involved in this spy game. Great story with many surprising twists and turns.

Lovely charming and funny acting by Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. If you are a fan of one these 2 actors this is definitely a must see. I have seen it many times already and I love the frivolous charming nature of this spy comedy. From time to time I just long for some quality lighthearted entertainment and "The Tourist" fits the bill exactly for those wishes... Definitely feel good, with some budding romance, a bit of suspense and great jokes. Really charming!
