Mr. & Mrs. Smith DVD box set sale

Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a romantic comedy disguised as an action movie. Also, it is a fun, summer popcorn movie that actually manages to get in a few humorous but truthful bits on relationships and marriage, being suitable to watch at your home with your lovers. So, that you need to have the movie DVD box set collection.

The plot of the movie 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.

The eponymous couple lives in an idyllic house in an idyllic neighbourhood but their marriage is in trouble. In the film's funniest scenes, we see John and Jane meeting a therapist, bemoaning the lack of sparkle in their six-year-old marriage. But they are keeping a secret from their counselor and from each other: they are both two of the world's most highly-paid assassins, with pretend jobs as a computer specialist (Mrs) and a construction worker (Mr).

The duo leads cat-and-mouse lives while trying to keep a sense of harmony at home. Jolie pops off to her office - staffed by doll-like girls and in the mould of Jack Bauer's CTU headquarters in 24 - to find out her latest kill, while Pitt goes to his own office where he works alongside Vince Vaughn, a rather nervy partner who injects some welcome humour into the situation.

The movie pauses from time to time for more sessions with the marriage counselor, during which it appears that professional killing is good for their relationship. After we get our money's worth of action, their problems are resolved, more or less. Although many lives have been lost, the marriage is saved.
