In Theaters: Mr. & Mrs. Smith

It looks like summer movies are becoming fun again! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie star in "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and provide the tounge in cheek action/comedy/drama that summer movie goers will thoroughly enjoy.
Pitt and Jolie are the title characters that are going through some marital problems and the film opens with them in counseling. In flashbacks they tell the story of how they met and how the marriage problems started. This isn't the usual marital issues like the Mr. keeps leaving the toilet seat up, there problems are a little more intense. They are both contract killers for competing agencies and have been keeping that fact away from each other for six years. (Remember I said tounge in cheek)
Pitt and Jolie absolutely light up the screen with their presence, in case there was any doubt left in anyone's mind, Pitt is still a grade A movie star and keeps getting better with each film. Jolie on the other hand is good but not Pitt good. I have no problems with Jolie ( except the Tomb Raider sequel) but she seems to advertise more than there is. The dialogue is peppy and smart and through all the explosions and gun fire Pitt and Jolie keep the comedic tone of the film going all the way to the end. Another bright spot in the film is Vince Vaughn as Pitt's friend and co worker. Vaughn always delivers and does another great job as the hyper sidekick to Pitt's cool leading man.
Doug Liman directed this film and coming off of "Bourne Identity" he continues to display his own unique form of filming action sequences. Its just hard to believe that he directed the TV Series "The O.C."...if Mr. & Mrs. Smith knew that they would take a contract out on him.
