Critics' Reviews

80
Washington Post: Michael O'Sullivan
A kicky, twisted thrill ride, with enough laughs to leaven what can be read, at heart, as a metaphor for the modern marriage.Read Full Review »

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
What makes the movie work is that Pitt and Jolie have fun together on the screen, and they're able to find a rhythm that allows them to be understated and amused even during the most alarming developments.Read Full Review »

USA Today: Claudia Puig
Jolie and Pitt project more than just body heat. They convey a multi-faceted attraction, toss off clever repartee and dazzle audiences with their seemingly natural connection. And that's worth watching.Read Full Review »

Slate: David Edelstein
There's a car chase that's more fluid and inventive than the much-touted freeway sequence in "The Matrix Reloaded," and the stars are nimble enough to make their acrobatics credible--no matter how many stunt doubles the picture employed.Read Full Review »

Salon.com: Stephanie Zacharek
Some people will see Mr. and Mrs. Smith as cynical, but I think its heart is deeply romantic, admittedly in an anvil-on-the-head kind of way. It's a love story not for the faint of heart. In other words, it's a lot like marriage.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: Dennis Lim
A tongue-in-cheek allegory on the hazards of harboring secrets in a relationship, Mr. & Mrs. Smith is most entertaining when the Smiths are hell-bent on mutual annihilation.Read Full Review »

NewsWeek: David Ansen
Imagine "The War of the Roses" remade as a James Bond fantasy, with appropriately high-tech weaponry, and you have some idea of what Doug Liman's heavily armed comedy has in store.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Kenneth Turan
In the end, star charisma and Liman's style win us over and we relax into a sophisticated summertime diversion that is noticeably intended for adults.Read Full Review »
67
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Owen Gleiberman
For all the nimbleness of its first half and the chemical zing of Pitt and Jolie, the film devolves into a fractious and explosive mess, hitting the same note of ''ironic'' violence over and over.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Steven Rea
Mr. & Mrs. Smith kicks off with panache and star power - and quickly wears out its welcome.Read Full Review »
