What to Know

Critics Consensus

Although this action-romance suffers from weak writing and one too many explosions, the chemistry generated by onscreen couple Pitt and Jolie is palpable enough to make this a thoroughly enjoyable summer action flick.

David Ansen Newsweek As Jane and John Smith, Jolie and Pitt hit their movie-star stride. They complete each other. Nov 1, 2007 Full Review Ken Tucker New York Magazine/Vulture Mr. & Mrs. Smith works on almost every level and against all odds. May 12, 2006 Full Review Amy Simmons Time Out The couple's dark, deadpan banter is amusing, particularly during a car chase in which they rapidly exchange some home truths. But there's a coldness to their characters that is never resolved. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site The weaponry and technologies have been seen before in one or two, or was it thirty-five, similar films. This is a work going through the motions in nearly every regard. Feb 15, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com It's consistently funny, often charming, and occasionally insightful. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 17, 2020 Full Review Ramya Sarma The Times of India It would be far more see-able if it was compressed into a one-hour TV show. But for sheer aesthetics - beautiful people, beautiful settings, beautiful views of New York, beautiful gunplay -- it's well worth a dekho. Mar 5, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

jolin t I'm not sure what's so good about this movie. All I know is that I always come back to it every so often. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/31/25 Full Review Mate P Mr. & Mrs. Smith can only work for some people because of its leads. It's pretty intriguing until it gets stupid and ridiculous and that point is relatively early in the film. The story is predictable and can't be taken seriously at all, not even as a comedy. The dialogues are mixed, the lines are often unnatural. The characters are simple, but the lead actors make them fun to watch. The direction is weird. I love Doug Liman, but I think he couldn't decide whether to make this a comedy or a drama. Weirdly I enjoyed the drama elements more. The soundtrack felt so out of place. The cinematography and editing are mixed. The casting is perfect though. The leads make it work and they are supported by unexpectedly famous people. The Brangelina chemistry is unmatched and their looks aren't bad either, I'm sad how their real relationship turned out. Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a fun watch if you want a movie star energy kind of film, but it doesn't offer anything else. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review rotem k Enemies to lovers!! loved it! i can watch it a hundred times and not get board. a classic Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Don kern Angelina Jolie aside, the story is very simple therefore suitable if you don't want to think hard and merely wanted to watch the chemistry between actors. The wardrobe along the movie were like the story itself, very simple. I think the actor and actress levitate the story by their face card and perhaps how they deepen their character so it almost plausible. This movie makes me fall in love with a song "Mondo Bongo" by Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/27/25 Full Review Mike V Til death do us part. Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a 2005 American action comedy film directed by Doug Liman 🕵️ Not bad, but not my favourite either 😉 It’s ok, but I feel mixed about this one 😉 I’d recommend it if you like this genre, but if not then probably give it a miss 👍🏼👎🏼 After five (or six) years of vanilla-wedded bliss, ordinary suburbanites John and Jane Smith are stuck in a huge rut. Unbeknownst to each other, they are both coolly lethal, highly-paid assassins working for rival organisations. When they discover they're each other's next target, their secret lives collide in a spicy, explosive mix of wicked comedy, pent-up passion, nonstop action and high-tech weaponry. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review Matthew T Bang, bang! Punch, kick, kiss and make up. Its fun, Pit and Jolie are both funny and smoldering. In reality, there is no way people that good looking are showing up to a neighborhood cocktail hour or cook out. The character reveals are the more enjoyable part of the film but this is an action movie and back in 2005 everyone wanted to see the love birds duke it out for some reason so yeah bang, bang, punch kick and kiss and makeup.
