Plot Summary
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie smolder in one of the most anticipated, sizzling action films ever made. After five (or six) years of vanilla-wedded bliss, ordinary suburbanites John and Jane Smith (Pitt and Jolie) are stuck in a rut the size of the Grand Canyon...until the truth comes out! Unbeknownst to each other, they are both coolly lethal, highly paid assassins working for rival organizations. And when they discover they're each other's next target, their secret lives collide in a spicy, explosive mix of wicked comedy, pent-up passion, nonstop action and high-tech weaponry that gives an all-new meaning to "Till death do us part!"

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: It's a love story not for the faint of heart. In other words, it's a lot like marriage.
Rotten: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie look like they had a terrific time making Mr. and Mrs. Smith -- but I certainly didn't have a good time watching it. Neither, I suspect, will many of you.
Rotten: Have we lost our minds and souls so completely to celebrity worship that drivel like Mr. and Mrs. Smith can thrive and prosper?
Fresh: A high-gloss, high-caliber domestic squabble, a lip-lock and load romance that might just as easily have been called 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith & Wesson.'

Stick with the Original Cut
The original cut of this film is better than the unrated version - the unrated version has an extended fight/love scene, and a few added scenes which did not add to the movie's magic. The editing for the unrated version is not as good, and some of the scenes are missing the soundtrack as found in the orginal. I enjoy this movie - in it's originally released state. Better quality.
not a great movie, but definitely worth seeing.
this movie's uneven; it's an odd mix of unforgettable, not-to-be-missed scenes kind of air-dropped in among a bunch of relative duds. the sexy parts are sexy indeed - Angelina, who's never been my numero-uno celebrity crush, is breathtaking in a number of scenes - drop-dead gorgeous/sexy and hilarious by turns (the scene with The Girl From Ipanema playing made me laugh out loud) - the chemistry between She and Brad is as great as everybody says it is (if i understand it correctly this is the movie that brought them together, so a lot of the sparks you see flying on the screen are real), and watching these two beat the crap out of each other is way sexier and more viscerally satisfying than any bedroom scene in any movie *i* can think of. there's a great balletic slo-mo gunfight, a fun car chase scene (the person who called the movie "intense" in another review couldn't have said it better), and i personally love the way Jane usually outdoes John by a good margin (leave it to Angelina ;). but then there are scenes with that guy who lives with his Mother...i don't know who the actor is, but neither he nor his character appeals to me and i tend to sort of endure his scenes, and a lot of the other scenes just fall flat for me as well. they seem to have been written by one of those people whose perspective is different from mine such that i think i get the gist of what they're saying but can't quite get past the odd, sort of alien way they string their words and thoughts together. it's not that i don't understand the scenes; it's that i don't understand why they're presented in the way they are, why the characters word things the ways they do and so on. they seem to have been powerful or funny or something for the writer or the director or whomever, but they're not for me...and that's all the more strange considering how much i enjoy the scenes i enjoy. the thing to take away from this review, though, is that if you haven't seen this movie, and it looks interesting to you, you should by all means see it at least once. i don't think i'll be buying it at any point, but i've seen it twice now - it stuck in my mind well enough when i saw it in 2005 that i rented and watched it again tonight on the strength of that alone - and i can imagine that i might rent it again in the future. i don't think it's a great movie, but the great scenes are great enough to make the movie worth seeing. (oh yeah, footnote: don't get all excited about the "UNRATED" moniker; there's nothing in this cut that you wouldn't see in a movie rated 'R' for violence. i think it's just a popular trend among movie studios/DVD publishers/whomever to reissue movies with big "UNRATED" labels across the front regardless of content, just to get the buying public's imaginations churning anew over movies they've already seen.)
Smoldering
"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is simply one of the most intense and sexiest movies of the century. The chemistry between Pitt and Jolie smolders the screen, and the movie remains one of my favorites to date.
