Chicago Sun-Times
The plot is immaterial. What matters is the "chemistry," a term that once referred to a science but now refers to the heat we sense, or think we sense, between two movie stars. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have it, or I think they have it, in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith," and because they do, the movie works. If they did not, there'd be nothing to work with.
Roger Ebert
Reelviews
The problem with Mr. and Mrs. Smith is that it's really two movies in one. The first is a sly comedy/thriller worthy of Hitchcock, and the other is a big, noisy summer action flick. The marriage of these two, like that of the title characters, is tempestuous, with each side in a constant struggle for dominance.
James Berardinelli
Entertainment Weekly
The movie revels in its bemused overkill, which is fun for a while before it grows wearisome, but there's no denying that the mutual hostility looks good on the two stars. Even if they didn't have gossip headlines to ricochet off of, Pitt and Jolie flirt with expert timing, and they're never sexier than when they're biting each other's heads off.
Owen Gleiberman
USA Today
The best moments in the action-packed romantic comedy are when the couple exhibit their considerable chemistry. Whether sitting side-by-side and haltingly discussing their marriage with a shrink, bickering about banalities or setting off sexual sparks, they're always fun to watch — and not simply because they're gorgeous.
Claudia Puig
Cinema Blend
Putting the two sexiest humans on the planet in the same movie is a no-brainer, and with Bourne Identity director Doug Liman at the helm there was no way Mr. and Mrs. Smith was going to be terrible. However, though screenwriter Simon Kinsberg’s script scores with sharp, witty dialogue that plays nimbly off the great chemistry between the film’s physically stunning leads, the story itself never quite goes far enough to lift the film beyond the realm of fun and forgettable.
