Tons of Fun!

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2005)

The time that I spent watching 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' this past weekend was one of the best movie going experience that I have had since watching 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. This movie is simply a lot of fun to watch.
The movie isn't very deep. Some may not look kindly on this if expectations were more along the lines of a pure action adventure like the Jason Bourne series that leaves an air of plausibility. Instead, the film is more along the lines of an 'Ocean's Eleven' of the action flick. As long as you don't expect an answer for how they were able to do what they do, and accept the movie for what it is, it will not disappoint. The beauty is in the chemistry of the characters and watching the action unfold rather than believing the actions could actually transpire.
This movie is a success solely because of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Both performances remind us that there is a reason why these are two of the hottest names in Hollywood right now, and together, they are nothing less than dynamite.
Vince Vaughn and Adam Brody's trademark comedic styles are perfect in the small doses that we are given for each. And important ingredient for success was not relying too heavily on any supporting cast element. The effect of this leaves you relishing the few moments you spend with these two, rather than becoming inundated with the after taste of their distinctively odd ball personalities.
The bottom line of this movie is that you will not leave the theater with buyer's remorse.
