** The Movie: **
They meet, they fall in love and they get married. And whilst that could be said about Brad and Angelina in real life (almost), it is also what we see at the beginning of this movie. Brad Pitt is John Smith and Angelina is his wife Jane. Jane believes that John is an Engineer and John believes that Jane is in IT, and 5 or 6 years later (depending who you ask) the initial magic has gone and they are both going through the motions ... ...behind the boredom is that both of them are living a lie. John is not an Engineer and Jane is not in IT, they are both working as assassins for different organisations and stay within the marriage as a matter of convenience so they can each go and do their jobs and still be home in time for dinner at 7.
Then they both get given the same hit job, which reveals to each other their true identities and then the movie takes on a new twist, they have ...

Advantages: Thoroughly enjoyable Disadvantages: Not meaningful, condones violence
I expect there will be a few reviews coming out on this one now as it has been shown on T.V. tonight, so as always, I shall jump on that bandwagon! Story
The story is really quite straight-forward. Marital problems have arisen for the charming young couple, John & Jane Smith (Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie), who, after the first 5 or 6 years of marriage - they are not so sure how long - they decide to take a 'marriage MOT' - well actually, they seek ... ...realise things have changed a great deal. They seem quite distant from one another, are keeping secrets from one another, including an unusually similar secret in fact. Each works for an agency as an assassin, a fact which the other is completely unaware of, until one day their missions seem to coincide & conflict, causing them both to want to kill the person that messed up their job, not realising straight away that that person is their partner. ...

Advantages: Fairly diverting, pretty good performances from Pitt and Jolie, some good special effects and visuals Disadvantages: Rather laughable and predictable as the story goes on
...- The Story -
Mr and Mrs Smith, as if you didn't know, stars Brad Pitt as John Smith and Angelina Jolie as Jane Smith. The movie starts out with them at a marriage counselling session, being asked about their relationship. All seems normal but of course they each have their own rather large secret that their keeping from each other and they talk about how they feel that they don't talk about things very much, there's a kind of a funny line at one ... ...call it when you don't talk about things anymore?' 'Marriage.'
Anyway John is asked about when he first met Jane and we're shown their first encounter some 5 (or, as Jane insists, 6) years ago, in Bogota in Columbia. The chemistry shown here is pretty strong and of course that continues right through the whole movie. I'd imagine alot of people went to see or buy this movie due to the off the set gossip/talk of the two actors real life relationship, ...

Advantages: Action packed, funny, on-screen chemistry between stars Disadvantages: Lacks deep plot lines, some violence
This is the film that sparked off all those rumours about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, were they an item were they not. The film was destined to be a hit at the box office as not only did it have two big selling stars but the press coverage it received due to the questions over their relationship helped it get even more publicity.
I missed it at the cinema but rented the DVD through Amazon rentals at the weekend so here is my first ever film review.

Advantages: Ok film and it features Brad Pitt Disadvantages: Bit cheesy and unbelievable in places
Mr & Mrs Smith is a film first released in June 2005. It has been described as an action/comedy/adventure/romance film so has something for everybody. The film was directed by Doug Liman and runs for 122 minutes.

Advantages: A great deal of humour Disadvantages: Not the strongest plot ever
Mr and Mrs Smith is another one of those films that you love to hate. I'll be the first person to admit that the film isn't spectacular, it's nothing out of the ordinary but what it is, is entertaining and really what more can you ask from a film.
Mr and Mrs Smith tells the story of John and Jane Smith who to all pretences and purposes are a normal married couple living in a normal house in a normal house both with normal jobs or so the other one ... ...watch something light then Mr and Mrs Smith certainly fits the bill. It has a decent enough plot to make it interesting and a fair few comic lines to keep me chuckling. So if you simply want light entertainment then Mr and Mrs Smith may be the film for you. ...

Yup, you guessed it, this film is/was to blame about all the rumours surrounding whether Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were an item or not. So, we have this film to blame for all those darned headlines that no one but those who like to keep up to date with useless gossip were interested in!
So, if you've not already guessed it, this film features two A-list celebrities as its main cast. Angelina Jolie plays Jane Smith while Brad Pitt plays John Smith. ... ...many people must presume you're joking when you tell them your surname!? Worse still, being called Bloggs and then naming your child "Joe". Cruel people!! :o)

Advantages: Pitt & Jolie are great together on-screen Disadvantages: Poor Jen! Can't think of any disadvantages with this film
Mr & Mrs Smith… where do I begin? This now infamous film caused so much controversy & sparked so many rumours when it was released back in 2004. I'm sure the majority of you will know why but for those of you that haven't turned on your TV's on seen a magazine cover in the last 5 years I'll explain. The role of John Smith is played by Brad Pitt, arguably the most gorgeous man on the planet & at the time of filming he was married to America's sweetheart ... ...sounds simple doesn't it?
Mr & Mrs Smith brilliantly manages to inject just the right amount of action, comedy & romance into this fun filled caper.
Personally I really enjoyed this film. I think Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie have sizzling on-screen chemistry (I wonder why) & each play their part to perfection. Id recommend this film to any fan of Brad or Angelina or infact to any fan of a good action comedy.
This film is directed by Doug Lman & ...

Advantages: Action, Pitt and Jolie Disadvantages: very poor story
After 6 years of marriage John and Jane Smith (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie) are getting bored and in an attempt to rescue their failing marriage are receiving advice from a marriage councilor. What neither of them actually realize is that they are both professional assassins and have been hired by their employers to assassinate the same man. When they fail to achieve the mission, they are given the mission to kill each other.
This film has 3 things ... ...an attempt to make a very weak film a box office success, the producer has basically put in loads of action and 2 of the most popular actors in Hollywood in an attempt to disguise the lack of a decent plot. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, as the film is defined as an action, comedy, romantic, thriller but to be honest I didn't find the film funny, the romantic plot lasted all of 2 minutes and the only thrills came from the special effect ridden action ...

...career ? ... Mr and Mrs Smith are a couple in love, who seem to co-operate well with each other, even though they are each keeping a massive secret from the other.

Being a man, I am not as big a Brad Pitt fan as some people out there, but I would still say, he is one of the better actors available in the film industry and plays his role very well in this hit. He is the 'cooler' of the couple, whereas she is the harder worker, and this occasionally adds likeable humourous characteristics to his role. He also does well in the fight scenes, ...

On paper, Mr and Mrs Smith seems like a cant miss blockbuster. The hottest male and female a - listers in the business, a director coming off the Bourne identity arguable one of the coolest actions in recent times and a nice little twist, Husband and wife assassins both unaware of their partners secret occupation. There is obvious scope for great action scenes, comedic mishaps and Bad and Angie strutting around on screen for a couple ... ...a couple of laughs as the Smiths go about their business of killing unbeknownst to the other and it seems like this could be an ok movie. But then the inevitable happens, the twist that proves to be the death of the film. They both find out about the others "secret" occupation and to be honest with you, you might as well switch off there.

Synopsis
======
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie play assassins who meet when they are both involved in separate jobs in the same location and inadvertently help each other to escape. They have a romance and end up getting married. Neither of them has any idea of the others day job, that is until they are both assigned to the same target. An average marriage suddenly becomes a fight to the death but have they got the guts to pull the trigger?
Special ... ...and screenwriter and the producers, they're not worth listening to. There is a short documentary of the making of one of the scenes that is not very informative or entertaining. There are also four deleted scenes that appear to be just different takes of scenes that are actually in the film.

Is It Any Good?
