Mr. & Mrs. Smith is a 2005 action-comedy film, directed by Doug Liman and starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The eponymous Smiths are a couple who have been married for five (or six) years. After meeting each other while vacationing in Colombia, the two married and settled down to a quiet, white-collar life in Suburbia, but now they find the magic is fading and wonder if their marriage is going to last.In reality, both of them are being smothered by the weight of their double lives — as secret agents and occasional killers for hire. All the fire seems to have gone out of their relationship and they are seeking marriage counselling.One day, John Smith (Pitt) is ordered to take out a hit on a man called "The Tank". But his wife Jane (Jolie), who works for a rival agency, is also sent to take down "The Tank". Upon discovering each other's identities, the Smiths are told by their employers to take each other out, leading to results that range from your standard Slap-Slap-Kiss all the way up to no-holds-barred Domestic Abuse. Things are not as they seem, though. When John and Jane both come under attack by their former employers, they realise that if they are going to live (and keep their marriage intact), they're going to have to work together both as assassins and as a couple.A Prime Video series adaptation starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine will be released on February 2, 2024.Not to be confused with the 1941 screwball comedy directed by Alfred Hitchcock (where a couple who have been married three years find out that they aren't really married) or the 1996 TV series (where two spies are forced to work together under the codenames Mr. and Mrs. Smith).

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Quite possibly the most non-standard use of this trope, as the Smiths both have this moment as they're pointing guns at each other.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything? John returning home from a hit is reminiscent of a cheating husband returning home after an affair. He drives home quietly, puts his wedding band back on, and picks at the red stain on his collar (blood instead of lipstick). While interrogating their target, the couple argue as if they're disagreeing on how to raise a child. At one point, John even says, "Can we not argue in front of the target? It sends mixed signals." When John and Jane are comparing their body counts, it sounds like a couple comparing numbers of past partners, including John feeling pointedly emasculated when his wife has a higher count than his. Bonus: "Some were two at a time."

Poor Communication Kills: Justified in that they are both trying to hide their double lives as assassins from what they believe to be their normie spouse. That said, doing so almost ends up with both of them killing each other.

Tampering with Food and Drink: Suspecting John to being a spy, Jane is home early and prepares a dinner for "a special occasion". John picks up on this when he sees the Draino cleanser where the martini shaker was and dumps his drink into a flower pot to avoid poisoning. He then notices a poison label in the kitchen mirror's reflections as he takes a nervous bite of his porterhouse steak.

 Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) / int_31d55275
comment
Tuxedo and Martini: Jane's agency is full of flashy technology and attractive women. John is more of the "Stale Beer and T-Shirt" variety of spy. This is reflected in everything they do. Jane's away-from-home workspace is in an upscale office building, while John's is a little back-room upstairs office. Her weaponry is behind an elaborate slide-away oven; John's is in a cellar under the toolshed. She sets up with a top-of-the-line sniping rifle and sighting equipment, while he pretends to be a scruffy nobody taking a piss and tries to take out the target with a rocket launcher. On the other hand, John identifies Jane by recovering her laptop and tracing one of the chips, like a proper hi-tech spy, while Jane does it by seeing John's walk and identifying him by instinct, just using her gut.

Properly Paranoid: Both the Smiths have taken extreme precautions for just about any scenario... except realizing their spouse is a rival agent. Even then, many of the precautions come in handy. John can't even be voice-traced from the answering machine message because he's made sure to include electronic distortion as if it were malfunctioning.

Noodle Incident: Whatever it was that happened in Canada. This is used for most every instance of them talking about a past job. What job did Jane take that saw the use of percussion grenades? Where was John that made taking a chopper the only, or the fastest, way of getting to their anniversary dinner on time? Who was Jean-Luc Gaspard that Jane was so jealous of John's elimination of him? We are never told.

As The Tank has no stake in the plot against the Smiths, he chooses option "A".

Bluffing the Authorities: John and Jane's all out brawl attracts the attention of their neighbors, who call the police; however, by the time the officers arrive their interaction has evolved into a different kind of physical encounter, and the cops aren't interested in looking too closely at the obviously happy couple. The destruction visible through their open door is explained away as renovations to the house.

That is the last time we see her or any of her subordinates in the movie. Unintentional, to be sure, but still.

When Lucky comes back to the poker game John joined, he asks if John's looking for a job. John responds, "You are the job." before shooting him with a hidden pistol then opening fire on the other gangsters. While playing the part of a Dominatrix and asking if her client's been bad, she leans in close and asks in a whisper, "Have you been selling big guns to bad men?" The target can only grunt in confusion before Jane snaps his neck.

Mating Dance: The tango scene after the two use each other as cover to avoid suspicion from the Colombian military. Considering the Romance on the Set that ensued between the respective actors, this one probably carries a lot of Reality Subtext.

Women Are Wiser: Implied, with Jane's organisation seeming bigger, better-funded and more professional than John's, and Jane having a much higher bodycount than her husband. In terms of their methods, this overlaps with Uptight Loves Wild, with Jane carefully planning her assassinations and John preferring the Indy Ploy.

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Out of all the various things they've done to each other in the course of their cover... all the lies, fakery, and trying to kill each other... the thing that seems to upset John the most is that Jane hired actors to play her parents for events like their wedding and holidays, though that as he notes, it's because he brought his real parents. The reverse, Jane seems overly upset at John for being married once before (briefly, in Vegas, then annulled)

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: In the final scene, a large group of "highly trained assassins" are unable to take down the protagonist duo despite having them outnumbered. There's bullet dodging involved but there's a lot of bullets where they don't need to.

The Masochism Tango
 Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) / int_ad1ab367
comment
The Masochism Tango: They spend the entire middle section of the film trying to kill each other once they realize that they are rival assassins with missions to kill one another. This leads to a Brutal Brawl in their home with them finding they are equally matched. And it ends because they both realize that they can't pull the trigger on each other. This is even lampshaded because the pair falls in love dancing a tango at the start of the film, they disarm each other in public mixing in some light jabs at on another at the halfway point, and the song that played during their first tango plays again when they get to the kissing part of Slap-Slap-Kiss.

comment
Anti-Hero: Although they are sympathetic and romantic characters, Jane and John are still professional murderers, and it is never firmly established if either of the two organizations they work for are actually on the side of right. The most the film provides on the subject is a comment from Jane to her target about "selling big guns to bad people" before she kills him, but there's nothing to indicate whether or not the specific job is typical of her hits. There is also the matter of a line of dialogue (cut from some versions of the film) in which, while discussing how many people they've killed, John asks if Jane's claimed number of 312 includes innocent bystanders.

Stripping the Scarecrow
 Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) / int_e56e3e0f
comment
Stripping the Scarecrow: John and Jane Smith, cornered in a home decorating store in their casual clothes, with mercenaries outside surrounding them, decides to strip two mannequins for better clothing. Without knocking them over, in the next shot we see John and Jane Smith smartly-dressed and two naked mannequins in the background.

comment
Aside Glance: Subverted. John asks Jane to dance a tango with him as a subtle way to disarm her in public without anyone noticing. Jane follows suit and at one point drops out of frame, seemingly to her knees. John looks at the camera and winks suggestively, implying Jane is on her knees for a much more "adult" reason. The Reveal Shot shows he's winked at an elderly couple, who are gaping because Jane is removing a pistol from John's ankle holster.

Artistic License – Geography
 Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) / int_e9f517e1
comment
Artistic License – Geography: Bogotá, Colombia, in real life, is a major city of nearly 7 million (at the time of filming) with a mild-to-cool climate thanks to its high-altitude location. Here it's portrayed as a small river-side town where the sun always shines, people listen to flamenco music and there's no need for clothes. To make things worse, a soldier speaks with a heavy Mexican accent. Even the actors said that they've never been to Bogotá, or Colombia, for that matter.

Mundane Utility: One of the early hints at Jane's secret life comes when she fixes the way a curtain is hanging by balancing perfectly on a chair that is standing on only one of its legs. In stilettos.

comment
Would Hit a Girl: John is more than willing to punch his wife (among other things) when he finds out she's a rival assassin. This is a rare instance in which the male character is not called out. Likely because his wife gives as good as she gets.

Lodged Blade Removal: Played for laughs. During the climactic battle, Jane accidentally (or possibly accidentally on purpose) hits John in the leg with a thrown kitchen knife. He barely reacts, except to be clearly frustrated with her, and pulls it out saying "We'll talk about this later!"

comment
Shown Their Work: When they fight, Jane is much more prone to using improvised weapons to bridge the physical gap between her and John. Female aggressors with male victims are much more likely to use weapons in domestic violence incidents for exactly that reason. It's also exactly what someone with Jane's build should do in a real fight against someone bigger, as shown by how — as long as she is able to keep John at range — Jane has the advantage. The moment John is within arm's length of Jane, her advantage disappears and he begins winning the fight with surprising ease given her earlier success.
