...partnership based on the habit of failure deal with the potential for success she offers? That question preoccupies first-time director Steve Kloves' realistic-romantic, wry-funny, altogether delightful movie. And it is not easily solved...
...transforming their act, Susie of course changes the brothers' lives. To deal with her, they finally have to confront themselves and a relationship based far more on shared genes than on common ideals. The wary way in which she and Jack circle in on a relationship is one of the truest representations of modern romance that the modern screen has offered.

Explicitly limiting the ban to heads of state would be too openly cynical, but the deal in essence is: You don't kill our leader, we won't kill yours. National leaders, if not their citizens, sleep better that...
