trite, boring, predictable and lame, go see "True Lies" instead

Rating: 3/10 (7 August 2005)

Humour can come from opposites, so why not take a boring suburbanite couple that lead exciting double lives as super secret agents. Thus the plot of "Mr and Mrs Smith" was born. The fact that the main characters are named John and Jane Smith gives away that very little extra thought has been put into this idea.
For example, every single joke is based on the housewife/secretagent paradox. Just check the "memorable quotes" here on IMDb and you'll get a rough idea of the quality of comedy in this movie. It's just lame and not funny. Especially the part where Mr and Mrs argue over a wedding ring during a high speed car chasing scene. The movie "Team America" has a scene that ridicules *exactly* this kind of thing. As for the action, it's big and bombastic but with barely any plot to back it up it's just meaningless and unbelievable.
It's incredible to see some of the user comments that rave and cheer about this movie, and a 6.6 rating (at the time of writing) is really way too high for this b-movie with a-actors. Go see "True Lies" or "The Long Kiss Goodnight" instead, more or less the same plot but overall much better movies.
