Not bad, not bad

Rating: 7/10 (3 January 2006)

Mr. and Mrs. Smith was one of those films that, just looking at the teasers on TV, made me think "I'll wait for the video". I was right. While it's a completely enjoyable flick, I'm glad I didn't pay to go see it. It's good, but not worth a ridiculously-priced theater ticket. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie star as two hit people who meet, fall in love and get married without any knowledge of what the other REALLY does for a living. There are some circumstances that lead up to an inevitable showdown between the two and the result is dramatic humor of the first-rate kind. Parts of the film are hilarious, others sad, most are dramatic. The film's script manages to blend all these elements together pretty well. The two major stars work well together and the result is something decent to watch. This film is well worth a rental fee and I'd recommend it to anyone old enough to watch it.
