Entertaining, but a little too much

Rating: 6/10 (1 November 2007)

I tried to stay away from Mr. & Mrs. Smith, from all the Brad and Angelina hype, I just wanted to get far away from all the news and their faces. Now, it's been almost 3 years since then, but we've still got that silly story going on, sad, I know. But I guess I was a little interested in seeing what Mr. & Mrs. Smith was about. My boyfriend had it on DVD and told me to give it a look, that it was actually pretty good. So I watched it yesterday and I have to say that it was a pretty good film, it had solid action with a great and original story, but the action at times was a little too much and then reminded me of True Lies. Angelina and Brad did have great chemistry, but the fight scenes between them could have just been a little bit more tamed down and more believable. Now I love action films, I love how unrealistic they could be, but Mr. & Mrs. Smith just could have been more of a realistic type of film like James Bond where at times is a little silly, but for the most part is something you can say that looks real.
Jane and John Smith met on a romantic trip in Columbia and immediately hit it off, they get married, but quickly everything isn't clicking as well. One of the reasons that might be is because they constantly lie to each other. They are both secret agents and neither one of them are aware of the other's secret double life. But when they are hired for the same mission, they spot each other and fail the mission. Now their agencies are demanding that they kill each other, but they may find a hard time doing that when they just reignited the flame in their relationship.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a good action movie, the acting was typical, it was average, but it worked for the film. Brad and Angelina had hot chemistry as we've had rubbed in our faces for the last couple years, but onto the film. The fight scenes were cool, but my favorite was when they came home to dinner and both of them know but don't know that they know about each other and they think that they are out to get each other. It was a funny scene and Brad really made the comedy fit in very well. I would recommend Mr. & Mrs. Smith for a watch, it's worth a look, it's just over the top, I warn you.
6/10
