Many married couples have secrets, but one pair of lovebirds discover they've both been living dangerous secret lives in this action thriller laced with comedy. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and play J... read more read more...ane Smith and John Smith, a suburban couple whose marriage has started to go a bit stale after five or six years. Both wish for more excitement in their relationship, but as it happens, each of them is finding plenty of thrills elsewhere. Both Jane and John are world-class assassins who will take on perilous missions for the right price, but neither is aware of the other's secret life - Jane thinks her husband runs a successful construction company, and John believes his wife works on Wall Street. However, when John and Jane are both assigned to take out the same target, one Benjamin Danz (Adam Brody), they become aware of each other's secret lives, and suddenly both their careers and their marriage go through some dramatic and potentially deadly changes. Mr. and Mrs. Smith also stars Vince Vaughn as an assassin with John's company who still lives with his mother and Kerry Washington as one of Jane's associates. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Loads of charisma as Brad and Angelina play assassins ala James Bond who have happened to've married each other. Lots of action shootouts interspersed with quippy dialogue exchanges by the bickering but in love couple. Fun.

    Though the comedy genre has its entertaining placement in this film, the action genre is much more concise and abundant. The action sequences are creatively and coolly laid out. In one scene, jazz music is played in the background to foreshadow a quick transition between action a... read morend romance. At first, this musical type seems irrelevant to the violent, gritty tone, but the âahâ? moment comes in a somewhat rewarding fashion. Many modern actioners are made clear to perform as âstandard action faresâ?; you can count this out of that category.

    Mr and Mrs Smith isn't without its faults. The film's entire second half is populated with a lot of explosions that grow slightly boring but the lead roles perform perfectly well together and its enough for it to be an overall enjoyable flick.

    I actually liked, it amused me, gave me action and didn't shy away from the 'all guns blazing' theme, Brad and Angelina are now both top grade actors and I believe they got that reputation from this.

    Who doesn't wanna see Angelina Jolie get all hot and fiesty?! It was an enjoyable movie.

    This is what happens when you try to combine action and romantic comedy without any idea how. The sense of humor is irritating and the story has no ending, finishing on a completely unsatisfying note. Still, the chemistry between Pitt and Jolie saves it from being a disaster.

    Mr. & Mrs. Smith had an interesting premise for a film, but unfortunately the film misses the mark on so many levels. I thought that the idea for the film was terrific, but the film was overall a terrible waste of time. I felt that everyone in this film was wasted, and some talen... read moret that was involved in this film was questionable, not that it matters because the film was a waste of time altogether. The only real talented actor here is Brad Pitt, and I felt he really didn't deliver anything great on screen. I'd say that this was one of his worst films. Considering that this was made by the same director who made the stellar Bourne Identity, you'd expect something terrific with this film. But I thought the film was a mess, and the script and acting was terrible. I think it sucks because like I said, the film had potential to be something totally great, but it's a mediocre film going experience that makes you wonder why they made this film in the first place. Yes, at times the film is entertaining, but it doesn't redeem the overall film from its mediocrity. This is a poorly made action film, and one of Doug Liman's worst films. I felt that some performances were so over the top, that I couldn't enjoy the film, and in the end, I felt like I wasted my time with this film. The idea might've been good, but the script, story development, acting and directing were all very sloppy in the long run. The film didn't work, and it overall a stupid film.

    Mildy entertaining at best, this Action-Romedy isn't just silly, but largely overplayed. Also doesn't help when there's an excess of generic dialogue and overall lack of charm.

    Great film, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt set this film alight with their undeniable chemistry. Surprisingly funny also.

Have we lost our minds and souls so completely to celebrity worship that drivel like Mr. and Mrs. Smith can thrive and prosper? Full Review

It's a love story not for the faint of heart. In other words, it's a lot like marriage. Full Review

Who knows what went on behind the screen between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, but what's on the screen is extremely entertaining. Full Review

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie look like they had a terrific time making Mr. and Mrs. Smith -- but I certainly didn't have a good time watching it. Neither, I suspect, will many of you. Full Review

Mr. & Mrs. Smith will prove a long, hard slog for filmgoers who don't think that simply gazing at Pitt and Jolie constitutes a fun night out. Full Review

Bruce Newman

Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News

A high-gloss, high-caliber domestic squabble, a lip-lock and load romance that might just as easily have been called 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith & Wesson.'
