Storyline

John and Jane Smith are a normal married couple, living a normal life in a normal suburb, working normal jobs...well, if you can call secretly being assassins "normal". But neither Jane nor John knows about their spouse's secret, until they are surprised to find each other as targets! But on their quest to kill each other, they learn a lot more about each other than they ever did in five (or six) years of marriage.

Trivia

Eddie (Vince Vaughn) turns down a bounty of $400,000 because he won't get out of bed for anything less than $500,000 is borrowed from an infamous quote by Linda Evangelista in a 1990 interview by Vogue, and how she won't "wake up for less than $10,000 a day".

Goofs

Before Jane kills her first mark, she snaps the wrist cover band over her finger on each arm/hand. When she makes it out and onto the street they are no longer attached at the hand as she gets the taxi. When she gets back home, however, she takes them off her fingers again.

User Reviews

Very Funny and Great Action

This is a very funny movie. Brad Pitt is excellent as the frustrated Spy/Husband. Angelina Jolie is as beautiful as she can be and plays the role wonderfully. All very tongue in cheek and enjoyable to watch.
