If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, The Terminator, I, Robot and just about every action thriller should be embarrassed by the compliments heaped upon them by Eagle Eye.

After a few weeks of feeling miserable, Peter decides, on the urgings of his half-brother, Brian (Bill Hader), to take a holiday in Hawaii to clear his mind. Relaxation seems likely for Peter when he hits it off with the hotel's hot customer service representative, Rachel Jansen (Mila Kunis).
