Mr. & Mrs. Smith
(20th Century Fox)
Here’s another summer popcorn flick that in the words of William Shakespeare: “is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Sorry Fox, that’s a little harsh, but this one left me feeling empty. I like Brad OK and Angelina is really hot, but despite their off-screen canoodling, there’s not a lot of chemistry up on the screen. Granted, there are some funny bits, Vince Vaughn gets to play…..Vince Vaughn and the firepower is well choreographed, but the plot never gets too deep. Maybe that’s just the point – it’s just eye candy and not a five-course meal.
