Mr. & Mrs. Smith
(Simon Kinberg)
How can anyone enjoy such a cliché-ridden mass of unconvincing drivel that was Mr and Mrs Smith? I should have known by the implausible premise of the movie that everyone knew about before seeing this rubbish. The initial scene rang alarm bells loud and clear. The lack of chemistry between these so-called stars was evident when they were at the marriage guidance in the first scene. The characters had not been established in the viewer's mind so it just looked like Pitt and Jollie familiar from gossip magazine covers. It did not look like two characters in a story. Right from the start it was Brad and Angeline. (Hey guys you are supposed to be taking the part of the characters, not acting as yourselves.)They looked uncomfortable and unconvincing. I knew within 30 seconds that it was trashy tabloid stuff. The attempts at humour were laughable rather than funny. I was laughing at the movie right away and not with the movie. Seeing Brad urinate was absolutely unfunny and gross. Who wants to see the splashes on his shoe? How does that entertain? The reliance on flash gadgets in the movie added to the general atmosphere of trashiness. The sadomasochism when Angeline got dressed up in whips and stockings was clumsy, gross, unconvincing and about as sexy as a constipated bodily function.Add that to the quips trotted out when people got killed in the plot and you have a movie that is seriously z-grade There was no plausibility in the plot whatsoever! Even in a light comedy it should be convincing and plausible. Batman was far more convincing and plausible even though we know from the start he is a comic book character. There is no excuse for the unforgivable implausibility of Mr and Mrs Smith. I am just amazed that anyone could actually assert that this is a good movie. My wife agreed and three quarters of the way through we could not stand it any longer and walked out of the cinema, sickened by the people in the theatre giggling mindlessly at every pathetic joke (just like they were supposed to) on cue like gullible automatons.
