Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Probably the most overrated movie of this past summer. All those glowing reviews didn't get me into the theater to see this train wreck of a flick, and after watching it on video I'm glad I skipped it. It's not funny, it's not clever and the action for the most part is cliched and badly photographed. I expected more from director Doug Liman (Swingers, Go, The Bourne Identity) and these actors, but in the end it's just a lame rip-off of True Lies with some Desperate Housewives shit thrown in for the hell of it. Only one joke made me laugh and one action scene got my attention. The rest was a waste of time.
