Action/comedy hits the right buttons.

Rating: 7/10 (20 June 2005)

In many parts of the movie, you have to suspend belief if you are to enjoy Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It opens with a comedy sketch and tries to loosen you up to its reality, that a husband and wife, for half a decade or more, can keep the secret from each other, that both of them kill people for a living. That wouldn't be much of a stretch, but of course, it's a 'blockbuster' movie, with a large budget and an 'all-star' cast. This has been a better movie for both Pitt and Jolie in some time though.
A couple meet in Bagota, Columbia, of all timing and places, just when they need each other and decide to quicken things and get married. Little does the either know they are assassins and are about to get caught in a sticky situation.
There is no sex in the movie. I walked into the theater thinking that something would happen that prompted all of these silly headlines as of late, thinking the media knew something I didn't. Absolutely nothing worth mentioning folks. As an entertaining comedy, I think it works but nothing else beyond that. You know, if you have the technology at home to enjoy the sound and explosions, I suggest a rental. I could have lived with that and so can you.
