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.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith works on almost every level and against all odds.

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.

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.

It's consistently funny, often charming, and occasionally insightful.

Rated: 2.5/4.0

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.

It’s ok. I’m a Brad Pitt fan but this movie is a little boring. It’s just two beautiful people with boring dialogue who are cold. Then they fight and yeah. I watch it every few years and literally don’t know why. It leaves me confused and underwhelmed.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Mr and Mrs Smith isn’t a bad movie, don’t get me wrong but this movie didn’t completely work out for me. It’s not particularly that I don’t like comedy but my favorite comedies are cinematic way better. Anyways, it’s worth a watch but just not my kind of movie

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Horrible pacing and I feel 0 chemistry between Brad and Angela. It's just two attractive people laughing together and people think that's chemistry? The concept is interesting but it's just executed poorly with a lame plot. Couldn't finish so an automatic 1 star.

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.
