Shaky

Rating: 4/10 (8 January 2006)

I loved the first hour of Mr. and Mrs. Smith but after that the jokes got a little old and it ran about twenty minutes too long. The screenplay is more than a little clunky with horrible dialogue, no characters what so ever, and the fact that the little plot it actually has is a huge cliché. It is a giant mess that needed to be turned down by all the Hollywood people who choose what gets made. The performances are also mostly horrible. Brad Pitt is not so bad but everyone else is horrible, Angelina Jolie in particular. The direction is also very, very bad. Which is a surprise from the director of such films as The Bourne Identity but he just did a horrible job on this. The visual effects are quite good actually. They really work very well. In all a fair film at best because of it's great first half in which it is hilarious. But the second half works in no way and makes the film veer from being good.
