Description of Mr. & Mrs. Smith - Unrated (Two-Disc Collector's Edition):
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 - Unrated (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) Reviews:
Angelina and Brad's Debut 
2008-10-01 - 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 scenes filled with shootouts, fist fighting and trying to run each over with cars).
The movie is as entertaining as it is humorous. You got some great gadgets such as a knife drawers coming out of ovens, weaponry, the works. Makes it all very enjoyable to watch. Brad Pitt is pretty funny, he has the same sort of character found in his Oceans movies, witty remarks, smooth humor. Angelina Jolie's character is more organized, punctual and seductively tough. Vince Vaughn plays Brad's best friend and coworker, he adds the punch lines and the absurd remarks. They all fit their parts well, and together they make one great movie!
Bogotá 
2008-09-19 - 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 would happened if we were the films maker and we show one of your places the way they did????....Please be more careful when the subject is one like this.
A terrible movie 
2008-09-18 - 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".
Doug Liman's commentary put me to sleep
2008-09-04 - I love love love this movie so I bought the "unrated" disc as I thought it would give me some interesting insight into the actors and the film, etc. I was so sadly disappointed! If you put the director's commentary on as your watching the film, you will literally fall asleep, he is so incredibly boring. I thought directors are great storytellers, but man, is he a drip! I could not sit through it!! Doesn't anybody look at this stuff before it's sold to the masses?!? So I turned the commentary off and watched the same dvd I could've rented from netflix. Not fair for 20 bucks!
A very Sexy, Gunpowder-filled movie
2008-09-03 - Since this was the start of the romance between Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie, it only seems fitting that it would be an all out assault on every viewing member's wishes (Sexy Woman/Hot Guy, an endless hidden cache of weapons, exciting life, deeply in love when death seemed certain
