Hit and Run (2012)

Its high-octane but low-stakes action might be just the thing for moviegoers weary of summer's operatic superheroes.

Above all, real-life couple Shepard and Bell bring genuine chemistry to this high-energy excursion.

Just slam the pedal to the floor, blast on past the weaknesses in the plot, and enjoy the ride.

Hit and Run isn't a catastrophe, but it leaves loose ends and a more adventurous map by the side of the winding road.

The movie feels like a grown-up version of little boys making whooshing noises and staging collisions while playing with toys on a living room floor. It belongs to the same star-and-his-pals-cutting-up genre as the lesser comedies by Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack.
