Released amidst rumors of romance between costars Angelina Jolie and soon-to-be-divorced Brad Pitt, Mr. and Mrs. Smith offers automatic weapons and high explosives as the cure for marital boredom. The premise of this exhausting action-comedy (no relation to the 1941 Alfred Hitchcock comedy starring Carole Lombard and Robert Montgomery) is that the unhappily married Smiths (Pitt and Jolie) will improve their relationship once they discover their mutually-hidden identities as world-class assassins, but things get complicated when their secret-agency bosses order them to rub each other out. There's plenty of amusing banter in the otherwise disposable screenplay by Simon Kinberg (xXx: State of the Union, Fantastic Four), and director Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity) gives Pitt and Jolie a slick, glossy superstar showcase that's innocuous but certainly never boring. It could've been better, but as an action-packed summer confection, Mr. and Mrs. Smith kills two hours in high style. --Jeff Shannon

Rating : - Who hasn't wanted to kill their spouse?
This is a great premise, explored with humor and action. Anyone who is married has gone through ups and downs in their relationship - and everyone knows marriage can be dull at times. Angelina and Brad get far more spice than they bargain for when it's revealed that they're both assassins hired to kill each other.

The dialogue is reminiscent of the old school detective movies, quick and layered with double meanings. Both leads are sleek, with sexiness oozing from their pores (as if anyone doesn't know this). Their house (the primary set) is full of "Jetson" type gadgets and enough weapons to wage a war, yet remained comfortable and tasteful (a humorous combination).

I was impressed with the stunts and car chases; however the shoot outs got to be a bit much at times. The knock down, drag out fight between the leads is comic brilliance - they really don't hold back and the result is well, as you can imagine, better than make up sex.

Vince Vaughn is memorable as an assassin living with his mother. He delivers his one liners with comic ease and leaves the rest of the cast members in his wake.

I'm sure if I wanted to probe, I'd find a few plot holes, but who would want to go and ruin such a perfect cheese. Not me, I'll take mine with a glass of wine - this movie is a keeper. I'll be watching it on many anniversaries to come.
