General Comments
Mr & Mrs Smith: Where in the blue hell do I start with this mess of a film? I can assure you it was a waste of my Saturday night, and by taking my date to this piece of garbage, it probably scuppered my chances of getting to second base.



Lets call a shovel a shovel, the only reason people go to see this movie is for the Brad/Jolie real life romance factor. Not only did this film wreck a marriage, but it wrecked my evening. I was expecting realistic action scenes and sub-funny comedy. This train-wreck of a picture offered me neither though.



So the humour, in short, there wasn't much barring the odd good line and subtle gag. At one point Mr Pitt is wearing a Fight Club T-shirt whilst interrorgating an enemy - I kinda liked that. However that was as good as the movie got.



To cut to the chase, the movie stunk, mainly due to a ridiculous plot and lousy special effects. The plot consists of both Mr & Mrs Smith having secret lives as assasins, they are then contracted to kill each other, but low and behold can't blow each away. At the end they team-up and nuke the enemy in a plain boring finale.



Is there chemistry between the pair? Of course, enough to end a marriage to be precise, and I'm sure thats why this movie will do well at the box office as Heat readers everywhere descend on the cinema.



This movie screwed my night up though, my date was bored rigid as was I, and far from the happy ending, Hank went home alone.



Final Warning: Steer clear of this movie if you wanna impress a date.
