Mr. & Mrs. Smith (PG-13, 2005)

I loved it. Action movies aren't really my thing, but this was funny.

MR. AND MRS. SMITH is a fun action movie that is decent popcorn entertainment. However, it presents nothing by way of genuine thrills, redeeming messages (in fact, quite the opposite, but more on that later), or intelligent acting or dialogue. A bit on the plot: Mr. Smith (Brad Pitt) and Mrs. Smith (Angelina Jolie) have lived in a mediocre marriage for 6 years. They love each other, but they constantly bicker and keep things from each other. It turns out that each of them work for rival assassination agencies, and neither of them knows about the others' day job. Until they must target each other. Suddenly, six years of partnership are thrown to the wind as the two try to kill each other in creative means that include guns, knives, explosives, and rough hand-to-hand combat. The movie's messages are negative through and through. The movie skips over all positive parts of marriage (save one) and only portray the negative. Sacred unity between woman and man comes across as disposable and dull. The one aspect of marriage that it does portray (a lot of) is the sex aspect. Both Jolie and Pitt are very good-looking individuals, and the movie takes full advantage of their looks. When the do solve their feud, they engage in passionate sex (mostly offscreen, no nudity) and suddenly all of their problems are gone. The movie has a strong sense of vaguely sexualized violence pervading it. Jolie approaches one of her targets disguised as a hooker (with a revealing dominatrix suit), and puts him through a mostly-offscreen S&M routine before breaking his neck. Elsewhere, both Smiths are apparently sexually aroused while trying to kill each other. Countless people are killed, shot, stabbed, and run over in the movie (portrayed mostly bloodlessly through stunning special effects). Murder itself in the movie is portrayed in a cool, so-what manner that I found more than a little alarming. Most characters in the movie think of killing as a solution to all their problems, and mention of killing more than 200 people is the butt of a joke. Language is harsh but infrequent: one "f**k", a few "b**ch"s, and brief slang terms for both male and female genitals "d**k" and "p**sy". Don't get me wrong: this movie is fun entertainment for mature viewers. The action is really cool to watch, and the chemistry between Jolie and Pitt (even when clothed) is electrifying. Just don't show it to kids.

it is a good story but there is a lot of violence like shooting and explosions.

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!

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.

Suggested MPAA Rating: PG-13 for sequences of intense action violence, sexual content, brief strong language.

What to watch out for * Messages: Characters lie, drive fast, shoot, and use knives: they are assassins, after all. * Violence: Lots of shooting and exploding, less brutal than antic. * Sex: Sexual banter, dominatrix outfit, mild sex scene following violent exchange. * Language: Brief. * Consumerism: Not an issue. * Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Drinking and drunkenness during flashback courtship scenes.

fun.i don't know how to describe it.there's a part that no kid should watch.too lovey. there is also a lot of eplosives and fighting
