Bor-ing!

Rating: 3/10 (19 July 2008)

I recently rented this movie on DVD and watched it with someone else. We watched the movie ALMOST entirely, because about three quarters of the way through the movie we got so bored that we decided to skip to the end.
I decided to rent this movie after the guy at the video store told me that Mr. & Mrs. Smith was a romantic comedy with an actiony twist. I just thought "sounds good", and I decided to rent it with relatively high expectations, thinking that this wasn't some typical boring romantic comedy. Well, I was certainly right about that, but to be honest I actually found it even more boring than the average romantic comedy.
To be fair, the movie was quite funny at times, and the "fight scene" between the Smiths during the second part of the movie was gold. Apart from that, though, both my friend and I found it extremely dull. The only thing that kept me going through most of the movie was the sight of Brad Pitt's sexy face and bod, but even that failed to stop us from abruptly skipping to the end of the movie.
In short, it has a couple of cheap laughs and some very tasty eye candy, but that's all there is to it - no matter how hot you think Brad (or Angie) are, it is not worth watching this movie. It's one of those movies that are so dull that you can feel your brain eroding.
By the way, I'm extremely surprised (in a bad way) by the overall IMDb rating for this movie - personally I think it deserves to be a 4.8/10 at best, but even that may seem too unrealistically high.
