After todays hiking adventure, we decided that a nice, restful activity was in order. So we settled on catching a flick. The "flick" in question was Mr & Mrs Smith, the "we" in question were myself, Liz, and Jcloth.
Now that the formalities are over, on with the review.
Going into the movie, I was expecting some lame/hackneyed True Lies type, stupid movie. But it turns out that I was pleasantly wrong. Which shouldn't come as a surprise since it was directed by Doug Liman of Swingers, Go, Bourne Identity fame, but I did not know he was involved till I saw the films end credits, so it was a surprise, so this whole sentence sort of sucked.
In case you've been living under a rock for the past month, (a celebrity gossip rock of some sort...), you'd know that the title characters in the movie were played by Bradd Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Two quality actors, that had great chemistry on screen( and off, from what I've heard).
They played the roles of two assassins, that are married to each other but have no idea of their spouses real occupation.
After five (or six) years of marriage, the relationship is starting to go sour, and eventually the two unhappily married assassins are turned against each other, and hilarity ensues. Seriously, it was funny, funny stuff. Pitt and Jolies petty, hostile, married life, arguments had the guys in the theater in stitches (the ladies I didn't notice laughing all that much [but then again maybe the guys were laughing too hard, for the ladies laughs to be audible {I know I was laughing pretty damn hard}]). Their animosity, mixed with their previously mentioned great chemistry during the not trying to kill each other scenes, made the whole thing work quite well.
As is expect, I now need to talk about how hot Angelina Jolie was in the movie. So here I go, Jolie was so hot that, if I were Pitt, I'd marry Jenniffer Aniston again, divorce her, and then repeat 4 more times just to make sure I had divorced her as throughly as possible, in order to get with Angelina Jolie. As devastatingly cruel as that would be towards Jennifer Anniston, it wouldn't matter, because you are doing it to be with Angelina Jolie, so the guy in charge of karma would totally understand. To summarize, what I'm saying is that I would divorce Jennifer Anniston 5 times over just to be with Angelina Jolie, and the gods would whole heartedly support me.
The movie also brought together a great supporting cast which included the always, me pleasing, Vince Vaughn, and Adam Brody, sadly neither had enough screen time for my liking. But both were quite entertaining in their brief appearances. Brody was especially entertaining because of a scene where he is talking to Brad Pitt while wearing an old faded Fight Club t-shirt, (I giggled for a while about it).
In conclusion, I highly recommend this movie to any fan of the genre, the action/adventure, romantic, comedy, genre that is. I was quite entertained by it.
