TAKE THE WAR OF THE ROSES AND PRIZZI'S HONOR AND A LITTLE BIT OF BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID AND YOU HAVE THE CONCEPT / PREMISE INGREDIENTS OF MR. & MRS. SMITH.
IT HAS A GOOD IDEA FOR A STORY - IT HAS ALL THE PRODUCTION VALUES IN THE WORLD, THEY SPENT THE MONEY, BUT AS GODFATHER III PROVED, PRODUCTION VALUES ARE NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE A MOVIE WORK.
VINCE VAUGHN IS ON THE SCENE, DOING HIS VINCE VAUGHN ROUTINE AND I NORMALLY LIKE HIS ROUTINE, BUT THIS ENTIRE FILM HAS NO CHEMISTRY - YOU SIT THERE AND CAN'T GET INVOLVED WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE SCREEN. I CAN'T WRITE ANYMORE ABOUT THIS FILM, I CAN'T GET INVOLVED IN REACTING TO IT -- IT JUST DOES NOT WORK --- I CAN'T FIND A WAY TO GIVE IT A PASS -- THE COMMERCIAL FOR THE FILM IS BETTER THAN THE FILM ITSELF.
THIS FILM, LIKE THE AMERICAN ECONOMY UNDER THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION ---- JUST DOES NOT WORK.
