After enjoying this film I asked myself what was this movie about? What was the script? What was the plot? What was the its genre? I failed to answer any of these but I know I enjoyed this film.

In quick first act John(Pitt) and Jane(Jolie), two strangers totally over each other, fool around in a rain-party. And they get married on impulse. Now after 4-5 years of their marriage they are still strangers to each other! They haven’t yet aware about true nature of others job. Both are ‘deadly’ assassins. They finish their jobs (killing people) and return home at night as if has done a ‘9 to 5’ job. This routine is disturbed when they find each other on same assignment and came to know about true nature of their jobs. And so they come after each other.
Sequences when these two try to kill one other are presented in carefree manner. As that supposed to be. “Oh come on, it was just a little bomb” says Jane- can give you idea what I am talking about. This is a vague idea of ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’.

Film occasionally switches to the scenes (real, real high moments of movie) where these two are asked questions by a marriage counselor. We come to know that fire between these two is no more there now. Exact lines were:
Therapist: How is your sex life?
Jane: I don't understand the question John: I don't get it, is this another 1 to 10 thing?
Or one where John: ..There were moments ….u know…..

It is full of hilarious sequences like the conversation about curtains
Jane: If You Don't Like Then We Can Take Them Back.
John: Ok. I Don't Like Them.
Jane: You'll Get Used To Them
And there is one car sequence these two commenting, retorting each other. scenes with Eddie(Vince Vaughan) and John are fun to watch. It’s never ill or forced comedy, I must say. In one scene when these two look for hidden-weapons is sure to make you laugh. One with Angelina Jolie asked to hold the child in party, watch Jolie's expression there.

Dialogue here are crisp and to chew over and over. My most favorites are when Brad Pitt is caught in lift and threaten to be killed by Jolie:
Jane Smith: Any last words?
John Smith: The new curtains are hideous.
and in last scenes before credits roll John says “Ask the sex question again….(with that grin on his face)”.

No one dare to say against the performances. Those are fabulous. These two are the perfect cast. Sensuous Angelina Jolie is now rated most beautiful woman on earth. Brad Pitt is heartthrob for years and he will continue to be. Vince Vaughan is smooth and impressive.

I loved Soundtracks from it. Joe Strummer’s ‘mongo bongo’ (Jolie-Pitt rain-dance song) and Pink Martini’s ‘Don’t stop falling in love’ are just wow!!
Yet there is something missing in the film.

All steamy scenes might have cut by our dear censor board so can’t say anything about those. But they must have set screen on fire.

One advice before you see this movie: Don’t ask too many questions. It is a slick flick. Just Go and feel the kick!

‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ is emblazoned with exploding chemistry between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and plenty of cheezee one liners.
That’s it.
