Mr. & Mrs. Smith
by Alfred Hitchcock (2008-08-15)
Warner Bros. (95 minutes)
average customer review: (48)
David and Annie Smith have an unusual marriage. Annie asks David if he would marry her again if he could have the time over again and David confides that he misses his freedom and so probably wouldn't. Not a typical Hitchcock movie, a comedy about a couple who learn that their marriage was not valid.

We feel terrible, and then we end up saying and doing things that only make matters worse. But it doesn't have to be that way, says Pema Chödrön.
