Editorial Review:
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!"
Description of Mr. & Mrs. Smith:
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
Mr. & Mrs. Smith Reviews:
good movie 
2009-11-23 - i enjoyed this movie. it was funny and full of action. lots of chemistry between brad and angelina, which did help their performance be believable.
Great Action Comedy!! 
2009-11-11 - John Smith and Jane Smith has the perfect marriage. Well, not quite so perfect. And they've been keeping secrets from each other. They work for rival firms that do outsourcing work for the CIA. (Sadly, this would be better if viewers didn't know this for the first twenty minutes of the film, but the previews already gave it away.)
Based on the preview, I thought this would be a Pitt-Jolie lovefest. I have enjoyed many of Pitt's films but not so many of Jolie's. And together, it was like a showcase of perfection for the American masses. Do I need to be reminded I'll never be handsome or rich? (Some will say movies help us escape this, and maybe it does, but still...)
My concerns were unfounded. This movie is well-acted, well-directed and well-written. The story is layered and brilliant, as well as quite funny. The direction fits well. The acting is superb, some of the best from Brad Pitt yet. And the explosions and gunfire and things breaking and high-tech gadgets? Very nice - someone put a lot into this film and/or has some natural talent I hope we see more of in Hollywood. Check this movie out!!
A Mighty FART 
2009-11-08 - I have finally figured out a way to defeat Al-Qaeda. Make Bin Laden
watch this dreadful obnoxious insipid gratuitous foetid trash.
With a script and dialogue written by a Japanese robot and
a desire by the end of the 'film' to see Brangelina lined
up against a wall and shot, avoid this tripe at all costs.
Defecate instead. One star only for the musical score, zero
for the rest.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Full Screen Edition)
2009-09-12 - Am more than satisfied with the quality of the product and especially it's low cost! Look forward to ordering more like it.
Mr & Mrs Smith
2009-06-30 - Since I'm a fan of Brad & Angie, I just love the movie. One thing I realise though, that some of the deleted scenes can't be found in Disc 2. Not sure why. Maybe there is another collection that I should get. Anyway love the movie very much. Have watched it several times.
