Line #11 YMMV/MrAndMrsSmith2005


1	* BestKnownForTheFanservice: Besides the infamous RomanceOnTheSet with two actors considered by many to be at the peak of their sex appeal at the time, the ''other'' thing this movie is best known for is the scene when Angelina Jolie dresses as a dominatrix.
2	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Jane's AmazonBrigade crew are probably the most memorable supporting characters.
3	* FridgeHorror:
4	** Whatever happened in Canada must have been ''bad''. And not just normal NoodleIncident bad, either. Eddie doesn't say "You remember Toronto" or "You remember Ontario", he says "You remember Canada". Whatever happened there happened ''everywhere''. Even Jane doesn't need any more reference for it than just "Canada".
5	** We're told that the couple works for 2 different agencies, but what if they work for two different branches of the same organization? Creator/JMichaelStraczynski, creator of ''Series/Babylon5'', used to regularly complain about the dysfunctionality of Creator/WarnerBros, the production company for ''Babylon 5'', because the different branches (TV, Film, etc) actively worked against each other in a bizarre rivalry, and this had been intended by the person who designed the corporate structure. Everyone agrees the couple's respective organizations fuction very differently. Jane's is very high tech but it leaves a big footprint with 7 people working out of a prominent location and has other suspicious things like security system in the vents. John's organization only has 4 people in a very nondescript building. His group is very analog. Assuming they are part of one company, authorities would never suspect the 2 branches belong to one company since their [=MOs=] are so different. This compartmentalization would protect the parent company from ever losing all its hitters ... unless hitters from 2 different branches got married. I would laugh my ass off if it turned out the head of each branch was married to each other.
6	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Well-loved in Japan.
7	* HarsherInHindsight: The film is about the titular Smiths having an explosive break-up (in more ways than one). Their actors Creator/BradPitt and Creator/AngelinaJolie would famously have a RomanceOnTheSet and live together for a decade before marrying… only for Jolie to file for divorce from Pitt in 2016, apparently in less-than-amicable circumstances. In particular, the fight where they're outright beating each other up after a [[https://pagesix.com/2022/08/18/photos-of-angelina-jolies-alleged-bruises-from-brad-pitt-revealed/ report]] revealed that an incident of DomesticAbuse was the final straw for Jolie.
8	* HilariousInHindsight:
9	** An alternate ending would have shown John and Jane out with their daughter several years after the events of the film. The daughter in question bears a striking resemblance to Creator/BradPitt and Creator/AngelinaJolie's real life daughter who had not even been born yet.
10	** Seeing Creator/VinceVaughn appear in this film as the best friend of Creator/BradPitt's character can be hysterical considering that not only would he appear alongside Pitt's estranged wife Creator/JenniferAniston in a film called ''Film/TheBreakUp'' of all things a year after this film was released, but that after doing that film Vaughn and her became a couple in real life for a while.
11	* OvershadowedByControversy: The reason this movie has had any staying power in the cultural zeitgeist is because it's the film that ended one A-List celebrity marriage and gave us a whole other one, with the controversy being whether or not Creator/BradPitt cheated on Creator/JenniferAniston in doing so.
