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 - 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:
Mr. & Mrs. Smith 
2009-12-18 - I recommend this movie to all people who want to see a fun, action packed movie. Mr. and Mrs. Smith is smart and sassy, it's a lot of fun. Jolie and Pitt were made for this one.
ok movie 
2009-12-15 - this is an ok movie but not the best movie that mr pitt or mrs. julie did before. it was a boring movie.
why marry? here's the answer......
2009-12-09 - In this day of high divorce rates, golfers who putt when they should be driving, and sluts who steal their friends' husbands, it is good to see a family values bit of entertainment, like this, which shows how a marriage can stay together, even with distractions on all sides.
The leads, who reportedly have been married themselves, are perfect as a middle-age couple who find their needs met by a similar, yet complimentary, partner, not picked for them by their parents. It shows how marrital therapy can help over some of the rougher spots, and how friends are still necessary, even in a strong marriage.
Blue Ray makes it all more vibrant and makes this couple, already fairly attractive, fun to watch with every detail sharp and clear.
Katherine and Spencer, Jodie and Hannibal, I know, I know, there have been other pairings that survive over time, at least on the screen, but here we have something more special, more joyous, more adventuresome than we have ever viewed before.
Not as good as "To Catch A Thief," better than "King Kong," this is a pastic disc that every serious movie freak will want to own and repeatedly watch over the years. After you see this flick enough times, I recommend you move down to "Dr. Zhivago," and watch that with your love, as the world cools down.
Current rumours have it that Mr. and Mrs. Smith will appear in a subplot of "Ocean's Fourteen."
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!!
