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!'
Amazon.com:
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 Shannon

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Dumb movie but ok entertainment
Ok to watch it while playing guitar or something else but to give 2 hours to this movie is not worthwhile. The plot is insultingly stupid but the action is fun.
Rating: - Overrated to the xxxtreme
Everyone I talked to seemed to really like this film. I may be more likely to dislike it because I was so skeptical from the start that I would only watch it when it came on cable. Overall, the film was boring, not very funny, and even the acting fell flat.
In the end, this represents what I think are actually the worst movies: the lower level of mediocrity. It wasn't bad enough to make it campy and funny, and it wasn't good enough to truly entertain me. However, I will give it credit ... Read More
Rating:  - Angelina and Brad's Debut
Good action, great duo! I also enjoyed Vince Vaughn's signature humor.
A married couple of five years finds their once hot romance strained from the secrets they have being keeping from each other. Both work for independent assassination organizations, and both don't know it in till the two are set up to take out one another. Watch as both go from trying to kill one another to rekindling their romance and take on the corporations to stay alive (and when I say rekindle, I mean intense action ... Read More
Rating:  - Bogotá
I think the movie is funny but as a Bogota citizen, the movie shows a awful picture of my place. I know we are full of problems but we are trying to improve. People who make this movie have not idea about how Bogotá is and I feel so sorry. I invite them to come and see how wrong they are. Bogota is one of the best cities of latinamerica... besides here is cold weather..... This movie just help to make bad impression of my country. Here, many people has expressed their anger against the Bogotá scenes. What ... Read More
Rating:  - A terrible movie
I happened to watch this movie on a transatlantic flight. If I had paid money to see it in a theater I would have asked for my money back.
The premise is clever but all else is totally stupid: bullets flying everywhere, someone hit by a car, things blowing up. Nobody gets hurt.
An unfortunate showcase for two "beautiful people".
