The Tree of Life

Knight and Day (PG-13)
A very funny action adventure with a generous helping of romance. My mom and I saw it together. We laughed our heads off. The straight-laced comments the hero and heroine make while they are being shot at, etc. made us roll with laughter. Totally unrealistic, but hilarious. The stunts are really cool too.
