fun but dumb

Rating: 7/10 (4 August 2005)

Mr and Mrs Smith is an enjoyable no brainer. I like Angelina and Pitt, and they do make an excellent, if some what ridiculously beautiful couple. The story as you will all know by now centres around a married couple who are both hit men/spy type people but neither know the other does it, and live in secrecy regarding there day jobs. Then they find out and try to kill each other. The fight scenes are amusing and have a 'War of the Roses' vibe to them, but spinning plates are replaced with Uzi's and ak47's. Most of the film is totally over the top and pretty much unconvincing but it is good at getting its job done, which is providing a vechile for both stars to headline a major movie, and to provide an hour and 45 minutes for the viewer to get away from their everyday life and be in this fantasy world where if you had Angelina's hand bag you too could jump off a skyscraper without any safety devices and land completely safe with no one seeing you even though there is thousands of people around you... which is daft
