“Satisfied??? Not for years!!!”
MovieAddict - wrote on 05/03/2013
I can certainly see why Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt became a couple in their personal life because the chemistry and electricity between them is smoking in this film.
Plot: John and Jane Smith (Heart throb Brad Pitt and sensuous Angelina Jolie) are a mild mannered couple married for six years with dark secrets. As irony would have it, they are so good at concealing their true selves, that neither knows that the other is their biggest rival working for two competing Agencies until they are hired to hit the same mark while on a routine mission. A memorable fight ensues in their home similar to what we saw in Danny DeVito’s "War of the Roses."
Much of the enjoyment comes from watching Pitt and Jolie play off each other. The playful banter between the two was fun (Pitt confesses …

"Mr. And Mrs. Smith" by Yojimbo

A middle class couple with seemingly the ideal life are unknowingly a pair of highly paid assassins working for rival companies. When the suits heard that they'd got the Brangelina monster on board for this project they probably soiled their jockeys and I'm surprised they even bothered to write a script before wheeling out the money printing machine. With the most popular male and female leads on the planet starring and a concoction of rom-com for the ladies and action for the lads this film was never going to fail financially but complacency could've made it go oh-so wrong in all other departments. Luckily Pitt and Jolie's chemistry actually works really well and their heavily armed bickering provides a fair few laughs. Essentially Kramer vs Kramer with artillery, Mr And Mrs Smith plays …

The ultimate rocky marriage

"John" and "Jane Smith" (Brat Pitt and Angelina Jolie) appear to have the perfect marriage, but looks can be deceiving. They are, in fact, keeping a huge secret from one another -- they are competing secret agents working for different agencies.
They learn of each other's jobs when both are assigned to take out the same target. Then their relationship spirals downward from there until something unexpected brings them back together.
The first thing you notice is that Jolie and Pitt have great on-screen chemistry. With exception of a few badly scripted spots and lines, they worked very nicely together. It got real fun watching them play cat and mouse with one another as they tried to kill each other through a good chunk of the film.
A problem I noticed with this movie is the …

Your the Job

I've been a fan of Doug Liman's since I saw Swingers. This movie is obviously different from that, but still turns out to show that Liman can now do action and characters at the same time.
Pitt has always been good at subtle comic relief and this movie is no exception. The guy knows how to act without making it look like acting. The man knows his trade. Vince Vaughn's comedic approach is similar to his own style as well....he's just a funny-ass guy; fast talking with a love/hate for him all at the same time. Jolie has had stronger roles, but I'll never complain in an action movie and a hottie.
Great action, great comedy. I can just sit back and enjoy this movie over and over again because it's a natural movie that fits any mood you're really in.
