Mr. & Mrs. Smith Reviews

Is Mr. & Mrs. Smith the movie that broke up Brad and Jennifer? The answer is: WHO CARES! The only real question that any of us have about this film is: “Is it any good?”.

Well, some people are ready to offer their opinions on that question. And here’s what they have to say:

“Kinsberg’s highly tuned comedic dialogue pulls the film out of the fire by keeping the blistering husband and wife conflict chugging.”
— Joshua Tyler, CINEMABLEND.COM

“The sheer weight and volume of mayhem toward the end is numbing and meaningless, and two hours is a good 25 minutes more than such a frail conceit can sustain.”
— Todd McCarthy, VARIETY

“When you see this movie, you can understand why the rest of the world thinks Americans are crazy. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are both assassins who work for rival ‘companies.’ We’re not supposed to ask whom they kill or why.”
— David Denby, NEW YORKER

“A full-on action flick, subversive rom-com and weapons-grade star vehicle that’s drenched in Tinseltown glitz, from a director who knows how to put the money on the screen while his tongue’s firmly in his cheek.”
— Simon Braund, EMPIRE MAGAZINE [UK]

So it looks like this is going to be hit or miss. No real consensus on this one. My impression is that it will deepend on what your expectations are. Looking for a smart spy flick? You’ll probably be disapointed. Just looking for lots of explosions? Well, you’re in luck. Personally I can’t wait for Friday to get here. You can read more reviews here.
