Details

After five (or six) years of vanilla-wedded bliss, ordinary suburbanites John and Jane Smith are stuck in a huge rut. Unbeknownst to each other, they are both coolly lethal, highly-paid assassins working for rival organisations. When they discover they're each other's next target, their secret lives collide in a spicy, explosive mix of wicked comedy, pent-up passion, nonstop action and high-tech weaponry.

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
ashin221 Good scripture, I like this idea to reflect the reality marriage situations.
simon_ecc The synopsis reads "a bored married couple" and I m not surprised. If I were them, I d also be bored. As far as I remember, someone fires a gun and someone else fires a gun. Somebody hides behind a wall and fires a gun, and somebody else fires back with a gun. You'd think that with all these guns going off, it would be enough to keep you awake, but the monotonous nature of the movie wins hands down, and you ll probably be asleep by the end.
Leofwine_draca I guess I was expecting too much of this film. After all, it was directed by Doug Liman, whose THE BOURNE IDENTITY was an excellent movie, and as a leading lady Angelina Jolie is easy on the eye. But in the end this is another lightweight Hollywood comedy with zero substance and outlandish, unbelievable action sequences in which special effects count for everything. One of the main problems the film has is the lazy performance from Brad Pitt, on sleepwalking mode throughout, although Angelina Jolie shines opposite him. The main story about a bored suburban couple having secret lives is familiar – see TRUE LIES, for instance – and this doesn't add anything new to the concept, apart from increasingly crazy action scenes that remain cartoonish and detached even if the special effects do look nice.I normally don't care for Vince Vaughn as an actor, but he's the best thing in this film – genuinely funny in all his dialogue bits, a real scene stealer. I admit, some of the comedy isn't bad either. But at two hours this is an overlong film with lots of meandering and repetitive bits. The two stars scrub up well but the cinematography is such that it appears they're vainly posing for the whole running time. The ending's also a cop out. I wanted to like this film, I really did, but in the end the main effect of MR. & MRS. SMITH on me was to send me to sleep.
Terryfan 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
