The breakdown: A professional hit man comes back home to his 10 year high school reunion, his old girlfriend, and to do one more job.

John Cusack is a hit man living in L.A.  He had a rival for most of his jobs and his rival comes to him to suggest they work together, but Cusack refuses.  Meanwhile, his secretary (played by his real sister Joan) tells him of his invitation to his 10 year reunion from Grosse Pointe High School and encourages him to go.
He is a bit nervous about going and running into the girl he stood up at senior prom, but fate intervenes, and it turns out, his next job is to kill someone in his old hometown of Detroit.  So off he goes to find his target and attend his reunion.

His old girlfriend is a DJ at the local radio station and he talks to her for the first time in 10 years, live, on the air.  Discussion was a little jarring for him, as she was understandably rough on him.

He notices a couple of guys following him in an old car and thinks he must have a tail.

He goes back to his childhood home to find out it's been destroyed and turned into a mini mart.

There's a couple of people I know that recommended this film to me, so I thought it'd be funny, but it wasn't too funny to me.  I think I laughed once, but it wasn't anything special.

I say you can skip it.  2 and 1/2 out of 5 for at least, not being the average plot.
