When you watch it with that set of expectations in mind, it's brilliant. “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” is not really a thriller; it’s a romantic comedy with guns and assassination as a metaphor for marital strife.

Hey! Great to see your phosphors. I've been thinking about you, too.

Howdy, Steve! Hi, Laura! Was thinking about you just the other day. We will be going to see Jumper. That trailer is hot. I feel weird about Mr. and Mrs. Smith (love the action, love the humor, keep remembering they kill people), BUT it is a fun movie. Jumper looks like a good bet.

I am just so afraid that said changes were only made for whatever target audience the studio is shooting for (teens with disposible incomes). I look back at this summer's "blockbusters" as a good example of just how bad a movie can turn out because a studio has to make a profit from it. I agree that Hayden can do Davy justice as long as I can just keep those 2 little movies he made with George Lucas out of my brain. Now bring on the adaptation of Helm, I'm dying to see that on film!
