Lenore C Honestly, the only positive thing I could see in this movie, apart from the beautiful scenery, was Johnny Depp's somewhat endearing character. The plot was boring and unconvincing. Angelina Jolie's character I imagine is supposed to appear quirky yet classy and alluring but I found her to be is dull, emotionless and annoying. There was no chemistry between Depp and Jolie and for the whole span of the film I could not fathom what made her such an attractive person in all the male characters' eyes. In fact, I think the main problem with the movie was Angelina's character. Without it "The tourist" would have been another mediocre try at a mystery-romance-action movie - boring but tolerable. But the lead female character was in, my eyes, so incredibly vexing that her mere presence in a scene made me want to skip forward. All in all, The Tourist was a major disappointment. I do not recommend it unless you're a hardcore fan of any of the actors as I suspect only fans can find any enjoyment watching this movie.

Rainey Dawn Revolves around Frank, an American tourist visiting Italy to mend a broken heart. Elise is an extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path.This one surprised me - I enjoyed it more than I was guessing I would. How can you go wrong with the two leads: Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp?! Worth watching if you want a more serious Johnny Depp.8.5/10

dertwonshuw-87179 I want to say right from the start that Angelina Jolie can sit down beside me on a train anytime.My roommate came home while I was watching and asked if it was a comedy. I responded no, but it should be. (Where is Inspector Clouseau when you need him?)I like the exterior Venice shots, but the rooftop chase scene is very fake. The plot is a little thin, but the story is still entertaining. I figured out what was going on fifteen minutes into the movie and that's not because I am too smart. (Hence the spoiler alert.)

MarcoLara I can imagine this conversation between Angelina Jolie (AJ) and the producers of the film (PF): AJ - But the script is horrible! PF - Yes, but you get to wear 12 wonderful dresses. AJ - But the script is horrible! PF - We are going to pay you a gazillion dollars. AJ - But the script is horrible! PF - You don't have to act. Just read the lines. AJ - But the script is horrible! PF - You get to wear ALL the make-up. Minimum 2 kilos per shot we promise. AJ - But the script is horrible! PF - All the men in the movie, we mean ALL, will look at you like you are the prettiest girl ever despite the fact that...well, we all know your glory days are already behind you. AJ - ...ooook....I am listening...anything else you want to throw to the bargain table? PF - Free trip to Venice? AJ - Deal.I mean, seriously, why oh why all big name actors, on top of their careers, must make such horrible movies. Remember "Runaway bride"? It's not like they need the movie, or more fame. It's not like they just started and must get whatever role is thrown at them...so why do they do it? Angelina would have 100 guys that will take her to Venice and cater to her every need, so why does she need to do such thing?And don't get me started with Johnny "Dead" (because this is how he looks through the entire movie).The movie is bad no matter how you look at it. The plot is predictable, the acting is horrendous (in fact, the supporting actors are better than the lead characters), the story is bad, the romance is forced...nothing, and I mean nothing, is good in this movie...except that you get to see nice parts of Venice, but I won't even give points to that because the movie is just this bad.I don't recall giving such bad reviews, but this "jewel" takes the cake. Don't watch it. And remember, if you say "the tourist" tree times in front of a mirror Angelina Jolie will put 2 tons of make-up on your face!FUN FACT: Why does everybody talks to their cuffs?
