Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Brad Pitt .... John Smith
Angelina Jolie .... Jane Smith
Vince Vaughn .... Eddie
Adam Brody .... Benjamin Diaz
What a cute little movie!
First of all, I'll just put it right out there. Brad and Angelina are SMOKIN' HOT!! If the rumors are true and they're a couple, could you imagine how freakin' gorgeous their kids would be?!? They spend a good portion of this film looking very very pretty.
Acting all around was decent. Adam Brody and Vince Vaughn were a bit underused but as the focus of the movie was supposed to be Brad and Angelina, it makes sense. Brad and Angelina did very good jobs with their characters. Jane Smith, whose cover is a computer technical consultant, is calm, cool, and collected. John Smith, whose cover is a construction consultant, is very loose and spontaneous. The banter between the two characters, both before and after they find out who the other is, is clever and sharp.
Plot wise, yes, there are some holes and some questions. The main one being who exactly do they work for? There are others but they might be spoilers so I won't ask them.
The action scenes are fun and pretty standard. The fight between Mr. & Mrs. Smith is kick ass. At some points, you are reminded of Lara Croft when Angelina picks up a weapon but that's probably a normal reaction.
Overall, I'd say this film is worth seeing in the theatres. Probably more at matinee prices though.
