Robert turns out to be inept at making threatening phone calls, and Celine starts with helpful hints and ends up stage-managing the kidnapping herself. The film then settles into a formula familiar from two other recent films, “ Excess Baggage” and “ Nothing to Lose.” The kidnapper and his victim grow friendly and eventually become conspirators. The millionaire ( Ian Holm) calls security, Robert grabs a gun from a guard, and at a crucial point Celine kicks the gun back into Robert’s grasp-maybe because she hopes he will kidnap her, which he does. (She misses, and a friend observes, “He’ll live, but he’ll never practice orthodontics again.”) Robert works for her father’s company, and when he’s replaced by robots, he seizes one of the squat little machines and tries to smash it against the wall of the chairman’s office.
Celine ( Cameron Diaz) is a millionaire’s daughter who amuses herself by using a handgun to shoot apples off the head of her fiance ( Stanley Tucci). We meet the two lovers that heaven plans to unite.
