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.

They love each other so they can't be apart. Yes, they kill many good people, but they kill bad boys too, they are assassins after all, so what's the matter? They want to kill each other, but at the end they realise that they can't be separated. In this movie was when I first saw that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were a good couple, they look perfect together.

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!

I Though it was good

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.

I enjoyed this movie. It was very funny. I do think the movie could have been cut in half, it was way to long. I would have liked the movie to have had an R rating so that it could have had more Brad Pitt. ;o) wink wink

Although there's lots of violence, no blood is shown. As long as someone can handle some shooting and lots of the action, they'll love this movie! Don't bring anyone under 13 years old to this movie, though. It's non-stop action!

i agree that this is not the best movie to take your kids along for. this would be more appropriate to the teens and above category... but it was very entertaining and having two gorgeous people on screen made it all the more wonderful. more than the plot and the development of the characters, many find entertainment in this movie because of the two leading actors, brad and angelina.

Awesome movie! I loved it! Funny, action packed, and fast moving with little twists in the plot to keep you guessing. The violence is intense. I didn't think it was too long at all. And, man, the sparks were flying between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt--definitely an attraction going on there. GREAT MOVIE--for adults! 13 may be a bit on the young side--15/16 would be better.
