Are you still alive, baby?, December 23, 2010
"Mr & Mrs Smith" is the movie that put Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie together. Literally. Soon after making this film, they got married in real life. Little doubt then whether or not there was chemistry between them in the character portrayals during this movie. It is two highly professional and in demand assassins accidentally discovering they are married to each other. This movie takes off on a bender, beyond anything "War of the Roses" with Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas brought to the screen. "Mr & Mrs Smith" is easy to enjoy.
"True Lies" stars Arnold Swarzenegger and the incredible Jamie Lee Curtis. This movie goes off the deep end in non-sense scenarios, but heck if you want realism, just watch documentaries. Jamie Lee Curtis does a dance in this film that made my socks go up and down on my legs so fast it burned all the hair off. This movie has mayhem and body count, adultery, high society situations, and comic relief - all in a fair balance. Arnold is a highly professional and sought after private intelligence agent that has more skills than Popeil's Kitchen Magician.
If you're fortunate enough to be considering buying these two comedy / action / drama films in this combo pack, you're not going to be disappointed in either film. Buy it this way. You can even buy it used in this combo pack format, and end up getting both films for under $5 each that way. How can you lose? I recommend both movies as each being worthy of 5 stars in their own right, and this combo pack is the best way to get them affordably. If you don't like movies with assassins, don't like secret agents, and you don't like either main actor or either main actress, you might want to buy something else, though.
Some of the reviewers on Amazon could go to a Barnum and Bailey Circus and then complain because there were acrobats and lion tamers performing. Adventurous others try peanut butter on bologna with black olives on pumpernickel bread, and wonder why it isn't delicious. Everybody knows not to use pumpernickel bread, but they try it anyway. The point is, the movies in this combo pack are well cast, and the story lines are entertaining even if they hadn't been as superbly portrayed. This is a win-win right here people. Heads up.

Excellent double feature pack!, August 10, 2010
My husband and I love action flicks like Mr. & Mrs. Smith and True Lies. In fact, those are two of our favorites, along with Sahara, so we were excited to see this double feature pack. It's a great price, and it helps us save some space by having both discs in one package.
Both of these movies are great, if you're into semi-cheesy action/action-comedy movies.
