Released amidst rumors of romance between costars Angelina Jolie and soon-to-be-divorced Brad Pitt, Mr. and Mrs. Smith offers automatic weapons and high explosives as the cure for marital boredom. The premise of this exhausting action-comedy (no relation to the 1941 Alfred Hitchcock comedy starring Carole Lombard and Robert Montgomery) is that the unhappily married Smiths (Pitt and Jolie) will improve their relationship once they discover their mutually-hidden identities as world-class assassins, but things get complicated when their secret-agency bosses order them to rub each other out. There's plenty of amusing banter in the otherwise disposable screenplay by Simon Kinberg (xXx: State of the Union, Fantastic Four), and director Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity) gives Pitt and Jolie a slick, glossy superstar showcase that's innocuous but certainly never boring. It could've been better, but as an action-packed summer confection, Mr. and Mrs. Smith kills two hours in high style. --Jeff Shannon2) Description
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie smolder in one of the most anticipated, sizzling action films ever made. After five (or six) years of vanilla-wedded bliss, ordinary suburbanites John and Jane Smith (Pitt and Jolie) are stuck in a rut the size of the Grand Canyon?until the truth comes out! Unbeknownst to each other, they are both coolly lethal, highly paid assassins working for rival organizations. And 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 that gives an all-new meaning to "Till death do us part!"

Average Customer Rating: 3.5 out of 5
1) Who hasn't wanted to kill their spouse? [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is a great premise, explored with humor and action. Anyone who is married has gone through ups and downs in their relationship - and everyone knows marriage can be dull at times. Angelina and Brad get far more spice than they bargain for when it's revealed that they're both assassins hired to kill each other. The dialogue is reminiscent of the old school detective movies, quick and layered with double meanings. Both leads are sleek, with sexiness oozing from their pores (as if anyone doesn't know this). Their house (the primary set) is full of "Jetson" type gadgets and enough weapons to wage a war, yet remained comfortable and tasteful (a humorous combination). I was impressed with the stunts and car chases; however the shoot outs got to be a bit much at times. The knock down, drag out fight between the leads is comic brilliance - they really don't hold back and the result is well, as you can imagine, better than make up sex. Vince Vaughn is memorable as an assassin living with his mother. He delivers his one liners with comic ease and leaves the rest of the cast members in his wake. I'm sure if I wanted to probe, I'd find a few plot holes, but who would want to go and ruin such a perfect cheese. Not me, I'll take mine with a glass of wine - this movie is a keeper. I'll be watching it on many anniversaries to come.2) Excellent Film. One of the best I've seen in a while. [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is a great movie. Dare I say it, the best movie either one of them has been in ...ever?? Great dialogue, great action. great film!3) Some one please talk about the DVD its self/ [Rating: 3 out of 5]
If any one hear owns this version please tell me the differance in the unrated version. What special features does it have, is it more violence or languaage. Someone please write a real reveiw.4) Mr & Mrs Smith [Rating: 3 out of 5]
As for the movie's story and theme, it was good. I am writing this more to talk about the quality of the DVD. It slowed down and stopped in around half a dozen places, but restarted and continued on it's own. Overall, considering the price we paid, it was a not a bad deal.5) THE SMITHS ON BLURAY [Rating: 5 out of 5]
MOST OF YOU PEOPLE HERE SAW THIS MOVIE ALREADY BUT NOT ALL OF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE BLURAY VERSION WHICH HAS GREAT PICTURE QUALITY
