Mr. & Mrs.

Cover of Mr & Mrs Smith [Blu-ray]

Last week, I teed up Doug Liman's Mr. & Mrs. Smith for another viewing (this time, on Blu-ray Disc).  It's not a perfect movie, but then again, neither are we. Timing is everything, I guess. I don't love this film because of the pyrotechnics and the over-the-top super-assassin skills on display from the pair of super-attractive leads, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. [okay, every now and then I do get a kick out of the variety of combat hardware on hand and that it's being put to gorgeous use by a comely, long-haired brunette...] That's not really the reason. I love it because of this:

John Smith: Careful, Jane. I can push the button any time I like.
Jane Smith: Baby, you couldn't find the button with both hands and a map.

It is the facets of wedlock, and all the little things about marriage, that this story absolutely nails on the big screen.
