Comments on: Mr. and Mrs. Smith (1941) http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2007/10/15/mr-and-mrs-smith-1941/ Film reviews and commentary tonight, before I forget tomorrow Wed, 23 May 2012 03:27:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Joe Valdez http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2007/10/15/mr-and-mrs-smith-1941/comment-page-1/#comment-1897 Joe Valdez Fri, 19 Oct 2007 01:00:40 +0000 http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2007/10/15/mr-and-mrs-smith-1941/#comment-1897 Damian: Even though I like Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie more than Robert Montgomery & Carole Lombard, the “new” <em>Mr. and Mrs. Smith</em> was one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a theater. It illustrates that while acting has gotten so much better in movies, the writing seems to have less and less finesse to it every year. Megan: Thanks for your approbation! On one hand, I figure that these movies have been out for 50 or 60 years and that SPOILER warnings are silly. But I also refuse to give away an ending intentionally. I feel if you're interested enough to want to know an ending to something, go watch the movie! And you could do a lot worse than <em>Mr. and Mrs. Smith</em> for a screwball comedy.

I especially appreciate that you are doing it without giving away the entire plot of the films. I haven't seen this one, and now I'm going to, because I want to know more!
