Note de Sparrowhisperer
Since going through most recent action movies is like chewing through cardboard, Mr. and Mrs. Smith is pleasantly energetic for an action flick. Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith is good fun, and does a decent job of satisfying the occasional need for summer-movies.
The effectiveness of the film lies in the exploration of what happens to a failing marriage when the couple are at their wits end ... and ... for the first time, come to realize that the other is a professional assassin ... and ... subsequently push the ceiling on what is termed 'spousal abuse' ... and ... of course, get to play with guns.
The success of the film, however, lies in how Jolie and Pitt actually bother to exercise some of their acting talent. They look like they are having fun, and genuinely enjoy the other (surprise! surprise!). The chemistry is good, and the actors are super sexy, which is always a plus for any film.
The movie fails, naturally, when the ending summarily degenerates into what is expected of action-fare, the shootouts, gun battles, and kisses. Enjoyable, nonetheless, even on its final wonky legs.
(Note: it is also a shame that in a film with so much shooting that no one gets to shoot Mr. Vince Vaughn. My, is that guy a terrible actor who can't resist hiding himself.)

The great misunderstanding of Starship Troopers is that it is anything but a naval-gazing frog in a well, a very amusing one at that. And the mistake is prevalent. Roger Ebert overdoes himself when he dedicates an entire paragraph to comparing it with Star Wars. James Berardinelli calls it "flawed, but fun." Yes it is fun, but when did this facetious overblown movie ever call upon itself to be taken with a straight face?
Frankly, Starship Troopers is a terrible exercise in movie-making and it does not pretend to be otherwise. But here is a film that is among all things wholeheartedly enjoyable, something that can't be said for many films. Then again it does seem appalling that we take movies such as Star Wars too seriously, but that is another dreadful movie for another review.
