the reason i watched Mr and Mrs Smith

i think why so many people left the show going "huh?" was because... the writers of the script tried too hard to be artsy-fartsy and yet having to maintain crowd-pleasers... and hence the show warbles in between an intelligent commentary of marital woes and an all-out sleek, action blockbuster.

u see, it failed as a spy movie because all the tricks were so used and tired. there wasn't any ingenious moves, nifty witty escapes and so on, there wasn't any elaborate car-chases and believable fighting scenes ( i mean!?! especially at the last part!?)

so obviously, the show's main intent wasn't about the action. the action was just to draw the masses to watch the show (which i don't see the point since there's already brad and angelina)

so maybe the show was a blow-up fantasy of some couple's marital woes... but then, not enough effort was spent to make this aspect smart enough, or even impressionable enough.

so honestly.. the movie ended up stuck between two genres, with done-to-death, yawn-inducing action scenes, with the occasional witty banter, yet weak allusion to the marital woes.

aiyah. wadeva.

point is, i came to the show to watch Angelina.

and watch i did.

done.
