Jane (Angelina Jolie) and John Smith (Brad Pitt) met when they were in Bogota, Colombia and had sparks from the first moment they met each other.  After six months of dating the two decide to get married, neither one knowing what the other one really and truthfully does for a living.  You see, they both have a facade going on, they are both trained assassins who have never encountered one another.  During the day they seemingly work normal jobs and live the suburban life, but when it comes to their actual jobs, there is nothing suburban about the two of them.  The two have a problem with their marriage, they never communicate with one another.  If they do, it's nothing honest at all, it's more like pleasant dinner conversation.  Life for these two changes when they realize they are up against each other for the same mark, Benjamin "The Tank" Diaz (Adam Brody). Then it's all at war with assassin versus assassin be it by road or in their own home!  John receives help from his buddy Eddie (Vince Vaughn) while Jane receives help from a team of trained technicians.  Guns, ammo and technology are all at the finger tips of these two deadly people and they make use of all three.  Can a troubled marriage get much worse with two hired killers married to one another and each one wanting the other dead?

Both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt try to bring out all of the stops in this film by doing their stunt work and bringing a lot of presence to their roles.  There is quite the chemistry between these two, however the chemistry can't hold together the plot.  There are a ton of loop holes in this film, like how can the couple blow up their own house without the police being involved and checking out the situation?  Or how about the neighbors noticing and hearing the giant explosion and mess that comes with blowing up the house?  Mr. and Mrs. Smith falls completely flat in the plot area, but the action can make up for it if you like the gun slinging and high flying antics of Jolie and Pitt.  A smidge of comedy is included in the film by Vince Vaughn's character but that's what he's there for, the comic relief. 

Mr. and Mrs. Smith classifies as a sinking ship that has no hope of repair.  There seems to be more fire to the movie regarding the whole scandal of Brad and Angelina as a couple then the actual film! 

Included in the DVD for this film is commentary by both director Doug Liman and screenwriter Simon Kinberg. Also, commentary is offered by the other with Lucas Foster and Akiva Goldsmith, two producers on the film.  It would have been wonderful to listen to commentary by Pitt and Jolie though, it would have given an interesting insight on the film.  The DVD also includes a Making A Scene featurette that is eight minutes in length.  This featurette analyzes a scene in the film which originally was going to be about a car chase but was changed into something completely different.  The scene is a crucial moment in the film, it's where Jane and John find out that it was their very own spouse who cost them their last assignment.  This particular scene actually evolved from a mistake and improvisation from Brad Pitt and it surprisingly worked well.  Three deleted scenes follow up this featurette.  The viewer can either play them together or separately and altogether the scenes last a little over eight minutes in length.  Finally, there is a trailer and teaser for the movie included in the DVD which doesn't really provide too much interest.

If you're a Jolie or Pitt fan then take some time to rent or buy this movie.  Otherwise, leave well enough alone.
