The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: C
"The movie as a whole seems lazy, little more than a rickety vehicle for a couple of best-selling brand names."
Dayton Daily News: B-
"Like some marriages, the film loses some steam as time wears on... It's fun if you buy the premise, but numbing if not."
The Palm Beach Post: C-
"The commercial success of Mr. & Mrs. — reportedly budgeted at $100 million, with all of the money visible in gunfire and its wreckage — will be a referendum on the star power of Pitt and Jolie to deliver an audience regardless of the emptiness of the movie they are in."
The Palm Beach Post "Flick Chick"
"It's weirdly funny, this movie, and sexy too ... I just don't know if it should be."
