In 2005, Jolie returned to major box office success with the action-comedy "Mr. & Mrs. Smith", in which she starred opposite Brad Pitt as a bored married couple who find out that they are both secret assassins. The film received mixed reviews, but was generally lauded for the chemistry between the two leads; "Star Tribune" critic Colin Covert noted, "While the story feels haphazard, the movie gets by on gregarious charm, galloping energy and the stars' thermonuclear screen chemistry." With box office takings of $478.2 million worldwide, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" was the seventh-highest grossing picture of the year and remained Jolie's highest-grossing live-action film for the next decade.
