All appearances to the contrary, the Smiths do not have the perfect marriage. Stuck in suburbia, working their high-powered big city jobs, they may look like Brad Pitt and Angelina... read more »

Instantly forgettable, extremely enjoyable
No-one will win any Oscars for this one, and I'll probably have forgotten about this movie in a week. But while it's on, 'Mr and Mrs Smith' is a cracking piece of entertainment. We went to see it on the basis that Doug Liman had made three good pictures ('Swingers', 'Go' and 'The Bourne Identity') and the two stars are usually good value for money. The logic is sound. If you don't like Pitt's excitable boyish persona and Jolie's smouldering, slightly perverse image, you won't like this film. Virtually plotless, with one-liners instead of proper dialogue and built around a succession of effective set pieces, the film is built on the enormous charisma of the two stars, and that turns out to be more than enough. There are a few real surprises (like the ferocity of the Smith's fight with each other halfway through), some genuinely hilarious moments (listen carefully for the joke about 'Fantasy Island'), and it moves along at a cracking pace without ever really drawing breath. It's no classic, but who cares, the film's job is to entertain and it does that perfectly well.

Absolutely ridiculous!
With any other two leading actors, this film would have gone straight to DVD or failing that would not have even been made.
Unfortunately however, it was made, and if you have the misfortune to sit through it I pity you.
The film is totally implausible. Although I can accept the principle of two assassins being married without knowing what each other do, I can't accept the idea that their 'agencies' don't know about them both. Their agencies certainly can't be governmental, so therefore must be privately funded - by who?!
The film is riddled with inconsistencies too. Brad and Angelina spend the best part of an hour punching and shooting each other and then when they're face to face neither can pull the trigger.
People who like the film will say that I'm thinking about it too much. So if you don't like thinking too much, see this film. -

- 03 Jan 2007
Mr and Mrs Smith, the film which famously united Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie for the first time, is to be made into a television series. Although neither will star in the adaptation, the original writer and director are signed on to remake the assassin-themed comedy for the small screen, reports Empire. Simon Kinberg, who penned the film, is to return, as is Doug Liman who will produce. Liman's varied CV has a mixture of film and television projects - the most recent success being glamorous...
