This film appeared to be promising. What could go wrong with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt? A hardly believable story for one and uninteresting chemistry between them. Mr. and Mrs. Smith is about a married couple whom both are hit men working for different hit men companies without suspecting each others' secret lives. The premise alone sounds far-fetched, but the beginning of the film automatically leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. The characters seem to be comfortably sitting on couches both talking to the therapist about their ever decreasing interest in each other. I sensed that something was terribly wrong when by the end of that extended scene I was feeling sleepy and clueless. I had no idea who were these people, nor did I care. Eventually, after they find out about their secret lives after a failed hit, they try to take each other out, only in the end to find out that by telling the truth it suddenly makes their vows and life together much more meaningful. It's so sweet when they settle their differences that you almost forget they are both assassins and that they don't seemed troubled by the mere thought that they both killed others for a living. But yes, their marriage was going down the drain so it doesn't matter if they both skillful liars and murderers. Even with all the action I became very bored and found the gags really passe. The way Columbia is portrayed in the movie is an example of the writers being dumb as heck. Why didn't Angelina Jolie say anything about this at the time she was making the film? After all, she supposedly cares for third world affairs. The one truly single major insult was, after they made up, their companies put a bounty on them and decided to track them down and take them out. It's way too bad their aiming and their larger numbers couldn't compare to Brad and Angelina's super-human speed, resistance, agility and superior marksmanship. Did I mention I had no idea with whom they were fighting against? We never know who they work for nor who employed them? They just randomly pop out to fight them. The car chase scene was actually the only real good thing about this film. The rest of it was just plain stupid. Don't get me started on the characters, watching Brad Pitt and Angelina on this movie is painful, they have no chemistry whatsoever, Brad mumbles all his lines and Angelina is a predictable tom boy stereotype and one-trick pony. Vince Vaughn's jokes all fall flat, and why is Vaughn actor called The Tank anyway? The film manages to accomplish one thing. It makes reality look a whole lot more interesting. I'm going to give this film a 3/5 for attempting to put on heirs about high profile assassins who usually have a boring home life that somehow manage to stay alive throughout the film.

This is no Oscar nominee, but it is such a fun, tongue-in-cheek movie that pokes fun at the secret agent genre of films as well as using humor found in the cliches of marriage. There's a good looking lead cast compiled of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jole, and Vince Vaughn. If you looking for a fun flick that you and your sweetheart can both enjoy, this is it!
My husband and I watched this and decided our marriage is pretty boring compared to Mr. and Mrs. Smith's. The movie is great fun, though, with lots of action and plenty of laughs. It was funny to watch the scene with Angelina Jolie trying to figure out how to hold a baby in light of all her children in real life. I would recommend the movie for fun and entertainment. Just don't think about it too hard.
I love this movie and have watched it over 20 times and never gets old. The acting is just right for the tone of the movie and characters. It is not over the top with either spy storyline or romantic/comedy aspect of it. The characters in the movie show they truly love one another without the actual word being uttered not even once in the movie. Their actions spoke volumes of their feelings for one another and the situation at hand. John & Jane Smith are two people who although care for one another, are trying to protect/shield their own vulnerability when it comes to matters of the heart. It is an excellent choice if you want to see a movie with action in it and a little plot highlighting the difficulties of relationships!
Nice plot . Angelina and Brad are great . The movie go straight to the point . A good piece of action .
