I feel bad for her, but sorry Jennifer Aniston you never had a chance. The chemistry between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in this film is electrifying. They are a power couple that was just meant to be.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a guilty pleasure. I watch this a lot. The whole premise of a husband and wife finding out that they are both secretly assassins working for separate agencies and have been hired to put a hit out on each other. Well, funny stuff, but its the banter between the two as the truth unfolds that is golden.
A highlight for me, without giving too much away for those who are yet to see it. The high speed escape on the freeway in their neighbours mini-van. Its a scene of genius. The script is at its peak of humour, and the mastery of combining the lives of two hired killers and the life of marriage in this moment is inspired.
Unfortunately I feel the film peters out at the end. So many wonderful moments through out, but the finale just doesn't hit home. I tell you what I want to see. A montage of life after, Mr. & Mrs. Smith happily or not so happily ever after.
Oh and with the kind of TV shows networks are pumping out these days, this should totally be a new series. I would most certainly watch it. Well depending on who they cast as the replacements for Pitt and Jolie, because lets me honest here.. How would you ever find a couple with that kind of on screen chemistry ever again?
