Funny movie with some intense action senes. Not for kids, yet mature teens should be able to handle it reasonably well.

What Parents Need to Know
About Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Parents need to know that this film features repeated and sustained violent scenes, involving guns, explosions, and knives. It's also worth noting that these scenes most often set husband against wife. Following one of these extended shoot-outs, they engage in mostly off-screen sex (some close-ups of limbs and lips serve as prelude). Husband and wife lie to each other, appear in therapy sessions, discuss their lack of intimacy. Jane wears dominatrix gear and wields a crop, just before she snaps her target's neck. John pees in the desert (back to camera). Characters smoke, drink, drive fast, crash, and deploy major weapons.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the extreme (and darkly comic) representation of workaholic partners and marital stress. How does the movie use a romantic comedy's basic structure (sparring couple, parallel confidantes, zany situations reframed as violence) in order to comment on the high-stress pace of contemporary, two-career marriages? How might John and Jane have avoided tensions by not deceiving one another to start with? What is exciting about keeping secrets? Why is it better to tell the truth?

Okay, yeah, so the movie is all about the spouses trying to kill each other. But I would have to say that it is a pretty cool, action packed, funny movie. But it is not the best role modeling, or message. After all they are trying to kill each other, and they are married!

Great for teens! Mild language and mild sexual content. Great action.
I love this movie. It is funny and action packed. The language is so mild. No uses of f*ck or g**d*mn. Just some mild words such as sh*t, h*ll, d*mn, and p*ss. And a few slang words. The sexual content is not that bad but may turn some away. A few references (non-graphic). and some passionate kissing. Angelina is seen in a bra and panties. She is also seen in some revealing outfits. Nothing graphic. The violence is very low. Just action packed. This movie was very fun and exciting to watch. I loved it.

Good Movie!
A great movie, all though some people who left the comments below, said it was pointless its not, it a very enjoybale movie. A Five start stunner such a the Borne or Die Hard film, no not in any way, but it was enjoable and sexy.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Once again another bang bang shoot em up movie accompanied by a so-so plot. Seems interesting plot at first but didn't follow through. The constant explosions and killings get pretty repetitive.

Absolutely stupid!
This movie (If you could call it a movie, it's more of a pointless explosion-fest with a hot woman) is a pointless attempt at a remotely good project. The plot was thinner than paper, the humor just did not work out, and the way the two people treated each other was, quite franky, intolerable! An extremely hot woman was in it, so what! The sex in this movie was overdone! I mean, Jessica Alba was in Fantastic 4, but there's no slutty outfis in that! And the scene near the end in the house is more boring than entertaining! Overall, this movie was STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!

Interesting idea for a movie, but missed the mark
Movie interested us because of the concept of the plot, but left a lot to be desired. It picked up steam as it progressed, but still left us with a "This could of been great" feeling. Kid appropriateness: A lot of violence .... much of it is "over exageratted, James Bond type of violence and most of the deaths occur off-screen. Sexual content: Mostly implied, actual shown content is fairly mild. Profanity: typical of what you might expect in this type of movie. Certainly another issue would be the social implications of lying or living a "secret life," but the execution of the movie almost mocks the believability of the concept of the movie so it seems very mild.

Bombs, Explosions, Action!
I loved this movie. My husband and I kept arguing about who was thinking what and what they'd do next and we were never right! Loved that it kept us guessing. Plenty of action and obvious violence BUT...no one died on camera and the only blood you saw was the main characters own blood from scrapes and injuries. Pitt did a bit of swearing and we skipped over a make out scene but otherwise it was a lot of fun!

Horrible!
I went to see this movie in theatres and it was horrible! I do not recommend it to anyone who cares!!! The way they treated each other was disgusting.

Violent, but smart
This is a really fun movie for older teens and adults. QUITE violent due to the storyline (would be impossible to follow this story without violence). There are killings, discussion of killings and lots of explosives involved, but the script is smart and, for adults, entertaining. Not a kids movie by any stretch of the imagination.
