Not Oscar-quality, but worth the money

Rating: 4/10 (2 July 2005)

A relatively simple plot about a bored married couple takes a turn for the worse when Mr. and Mrs. Smith find out that they were made to assassinate one another.
A decent movie that saves itself from being mediocre primarily due to an effective plot twist at the end and the high production values, Mr. And Mrs. Smith can easily provide effective entertainment for a night at the movies.
Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie have decent chemistry on stage and the use of music, editing, camera techniques, CGI, and such are notable, but the film's biggest problems lie in its impracticality, and at times, its predictability. The plot leaves something to be desired, especially in terms of its simplicity and originality, but the style and offbeat humor, especially Brad Pitt's, can almost make up for it.
Overall, if you're going to see one movie this summer ( so far ), see Batman Begins. If you're going to see two movies this summer, see Star Wars or Cinderella Man. If you're going to see anywhere between 3-6 movies this summer, try to make Mr. And Mrs. Smith one of them.
