Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Good scripture, I like this idea to reflect the reality marriage situations.

Back when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were getting more attention than any couple since Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton it seemed serendipitous that Mr.&Mrs. Smith arrived as a film vehicle to take advantage of all that publicity. It certainly features the sex appeal of both. With a lot of violence thrown in as well. In fact the violence is positively erotic at times.Pitt and Jolie are a pair of hit people who work for different arms of the federal government and if you can believe it have no idea what the other does. They get assigned from their agencies to the same case, but one to protect, the other to destroy a target played by Adam Brody. After that they learn of each other and try to kill each other.Even before Jolie was raiding tombs as Lara Croft she certainly had the fighting skills and spirit. Looking at the two of them I really got the impression they were having some great fun together. That fact really permeates your experience watching Mr.&Mrs. Smith.Just beware lest you think that this is remake of the Alfred Hitchcock film Mr.&Mrs. Smith. That it's not, but these Smiths are enjoyable enough as is.

John and Jane Smith are married, living a normal life in a normal suburb and working normal jobs. In reality, John and Jane are both skilled assassins working for different firms, both the best in their field, each concealing their true profession from the other. When both are assigned to kill a man nicknamed "The Tank", they encounter each other on the job and discover the truth. Both employers task one to eliminate the other, and each must choose between their personal and professional lives.Jolie and Pitt have a body of work that is wonderfully ranged, and for each Fight Club and Tomb Raider, you have a Tomb Raider and an Oceans 12.This lies somewhere in between the quality of their movies, and it's nothing more than a light piece of fluff that is designed for the high concept summer market. And I guarantee that this wouldn't have made nearly as much as it did, if it wasn't for the two leads getting together.The two have wonderful chemistry together, and they do look like a proper couple, which only adds to the enjoyment of the film. It does go really over the top toward the end, with a pointless Butch and Sundance type shot out which drags a little after a such a wonderful car chase.But despite the film being really good looking, and making us normal, middle class people that little bit envious of the house size and the looks, the film is nothing more than a summer blockbuster, made only to entertain for its duration, and to be forgotten about soon after.Reportedly, Jennifer Aniston does not own a copy.

Mr.& Mrs.Smith goes to show that some marriages can be more than what one bargain for. And that's exactly what happens when Jane Smith (Angelina Jolie) and John Smith (Brad Pitt) a bored married couple soon discovers that both are assassins. However they are hired to kill each other which leads up to a wild and crazy ride. I remember in 2005 when I first watched this movie I made a blog that said "I have heard of marriage problems but this is ridiculous". And that is again exactly the best way I could put Mr.& Mr.Smith. However what the film does offer is pretty rewarding but with some drawbacks.The film feature a creative plot, Angelina and Brad worked very well together and were the right choices for the two main characters. Who would have guess that they could have work like gold in the film.The humor in this film just has you rolling such as the car scene where Jade and John begin to have a fight in the car as it goes over and John said "We need to talk". The insults they give each other also will make you laugh.The action and fight scenes are the shining light of the film I really enjoy the fight scene John and Jade had in their house that was very well done and clever. Just that scene alone makes the film worth your while. But there is some disappointment that can be expected but I can't really explain it that would work. The real honest way to do so is to watch the film for yourselfMr.& Mrs. Smith is one of those films that the only way to enjoy it is to watch it yourself. It does have a strong collection of humor and you can't go wrong.I give Mr. & Mrs. Smith an 8 out of 10
