The efficiency of lying and deceiving depends entirely on the clear notion of truth the deceiver wishes to hide

I have finally seen the latest Brad Pitt movie, Mr. & Mrs. Smith. It’s a sexy, action-adventure film that has hit its goal, which is to entertain. I entered the movie house and left my brain at the door, knowing full well what I should expect from this movie.

It started off with a scene of both characters, John (Pitt) and Jane (Angelina Jolie), talking to a marriage counselor, very reminiscent of that other movie I like, The Story of Us. You could see right away the reason their marriage was failing, which explained the hurt and animosity they expressed through out the film. People who have a notion of romanticized marriages may not like what they would see from this film, but married couples could laugh out loud and see themselves being portrayed by these hot Hollywood stars.

The action sequences were good that made my husband grinning and romance was just about right that kept me gushing with glee. Punch lines were delivered perfectly and the soundtrack made it more fun to watch; I especially like the Air Supply hit Making Love Out Of Nothing At All (the scene where it was placed was so damn funny). Watching John and Jane bumping cars reminded me of another old movie, The War of the Roses.

It was a film not made to tug our hearts and keep out minds whirling; it was there for us to enjoy, and I came out smiling, loving it, and wishing there's a sequel.
