Mr and Mrs Smith - Requisat In Pacem

Rating: 4/10 (13 June 2005)

I had not planned on seeing this movie as reviews and trailers that I had seen did not particularly appeal. However, as I had seen everything else on offer at my local cinema I decided to give it a go.
The early scenes made it clear that this was going to be a shoot 'em up comedy/action movie that was making no claims to reality. I figured, OK, I can live with this, and settled back for a good laugh with a couple of good looking movie stars.
There were certainly some funny lines/scenes in the movie, but they were few and far between, leaving many, many ridiculously unbelievable situations with no humour whatsoever. To me these became cringe moments, you're not serious moments, no, no, don't do it moments and just plain embarrassing moments - a lot of them.
I know many will say that maybe that was the point - but I'm sorry - it left me cold. The movie needed to be more serious and somewhat more believable (a la Bruce Willis type movie) or a little more humorous (a la Jackie Chan).
And just as a completely unfair, off the topic comment - if there is a reversing treatment for collagen-inflated lips, Miss Jolie needs to look into it. Her lips look like a train wreck in this movie - absolutely nothing sexy about them at all...sorry.....
