Hmmm, how about a double of The Full Monty and Calendar Girls - people from Northern England stripping to raise money (that is if I have the second movie right.)
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Yeah, Sumi, good one. It's very cute...Mom and I liked it very much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
One of our guys worked on Mr & Mrs Smith and I need to know if it was on the main fight scene, because that was nice and kravvy.
I laughed a lot -- I've never found Brad Pitt this hysterical. Jolie bugs me a little, not least of all because she's just way too thin for the picture her role demands in my head.
But it was fun, and so cheerily violent. Adam Brody -- well, maybe he can play Seth Cohen all his life. I mean, if people will pay him, what's the problem?

My impressions of Mr and Mrs Smith?
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie -- so pretty and so tall!
Also, many things go boom . .. and really just because a movie is PG-13 doesn't mean that you should bring your child to it. I'm thinking that the movie would have been better if it had been an R because conceptually it's not a kid/family film and with an R they could balance the violence with more sex, you know?
And, what ita said about Adam Brody. (Loved that he was wearing a Fight Club t-shirt while being held hostage. )

The shirt did have me cracking up, Sumi.
Hey -- does anyone have the exact "she's like Batman with computers" quote? Was that it?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's what I heard, ita. And I, too, cracked up at the shirt.
I pretty much agree with everyone else's assessment. It's fun and funny and things blow up. Good time.

Oh, who played Atlanta (I thought I'd pegged the actor, but have now forgotten -- Angela Bassett maybe?) and who played the therapist? For that I was sure it was William Fichtner.
But neither role is credited in IMDB, unless I'm missing something.

Did we ever see the therapist ? I hoped that the credits would reveal who it was but either I missed it or he isn't there.

No, no face. I was mildly irritated that they bothered to show Father's reflection in the monitor watching Benjamin, because I matched that to his voice, and was ... well, it wasn't a huge deal, I guess, the plot. Given I can't even remember how it ended.
