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.

Starts well but becomes a shambles
Starts well but becomes a shambles due to a plot that any school kid could have written as their homework plus what's really wrong with this film - Brad Pitt isn't an actor. Where's the emotions? Not from any member of this cast will you see any emotions backing up their actions. For example you're a hostage tied up and 2 people are trying to get information from you - for no apparent reason you volunteer the info from your back pocket - you dont even say 'hey please dont shoot me' - you're a hostage but talk like you're round for a cup of tea - ie. no depth of character, no emotion. At 2 points in the film their feelings change for each other (mr and mrs smith) - these changes are handled with no investment in the characters by the actors - ie. they show us no emotional indications. The action is good and the effects are reasonable but I expected True Lies and got nowhere near that. True Lies will exist in my list of excellent action movies long after the memory of this film has gone. The film also ends very abruptly - this could be to ensure the audience wakes up. It is a film of many wasted opportunities for better acting, better dialogue and a better plot.
