There's hardly a review of Mr. & Mrs. Smith that doesn't mention the "chemistry" between Brad Pitt an Angelina Jolie. Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times argues that it's all important to the movie. "I think they have it," he writes, "and because they do, the movie works. If they did not, there'd be nothing to work with." Bob Strauss in the Los Angeles Daily News argues that their "visual appeal and edgy chemistry salvage a number of scenes that would otherwise simply collapse from the weight of their own preposterousness." Claudia Puig in USA Today comments that the "The best moments in the action-packed romantic comedy are when the couple exhibit their considerable chemistry." Gene Seymour in Newsday writes that the stars' "on-screen chemistry, even at moderate boil, is so combustible that you're tempted to put warning stickers on every frame they share." But the headline over Eleanor Ringel Gillespie's review in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reads, "The stars have chemistry, the script doesn't."
