Some excerpts from 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' Reviews

"Only Vince Vaughn registers hilariously as John's boss."
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone - Found Here

"Vince Vaughn is a hoot as Pitt's "yada-yada-yada"-ing boss."
"Vince Vaughn gets better at manic shtick with his every movie."
Gene Seymour, Newsday.com - Found Here

"Thankfully, any slack is more than taken up by the comedic talents of Vince Vaughn. As John's buddy and fellow hit man, he brings a workaday attitude to his job, answering John's greeting with, 'same old, same old; people need killin'. He also lives with his mom, a tired conceit that only Vaughn could make amusing. The guy is either a master assassin with a perfectly opaque cover or a schlub whose high school guidance counsellor sent him down the worst possible path. Either way, it's funny."

"Supporting actors are thriving in recent films: Paul Giamatti ran rings around Russell Crowe in Cinderella Man; in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the A-list stars are the eye candy, but Vaughn kills."
Chris Knight, National Post - Found Here

"Jolie is the funnier of the two, but Vince Vaughn -- playing Eddie, a friend of Pitt's character -- garners most of the laughs in the movie without even being in many scenes."
Tim WIlkins, Daily Pennsyvanian - Found Here

"Pitt and Jolie are both good-with-moments-of-greatness, acting very professional and having fun with the bone-dry humor of their roles. But it is, as usual, Vince Vaughn who steals the show as a compatriot of Pitt's (don't waste too much energy trying to figure out if he's John's boss, who's "good" and who's "bad," or much of anything else�Ķ the meta-information is never really unveiled and doesn't stand up to much scrutiny). Vaughn is mainly just playing Vaughn, but his interplay with Pitt and with his perpetually off-screen mother is priceless. It's worth the price of admission on its own."
Christopher Null, FilmCritic.com - Found Here

"John works for Eddie (Vince Vaughn), a slovenly male chauvinist who oversees the assignments (and lives with his mother, who is also his receptionist). Vaughn is hilarious���imagine his Swingers character ten years later. Liman, who also directed the 1996 cult hit, may have had just that in mind."
Sarah Chauncey, Reel.com - Found Here

"His partner is played by Vince Vaughn, who provides some of the biggest laughs."
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle - Found Here

"Doug Liman ("The Bourne Identity") directs, bringing his old '"Swingers" pal Vince Vaughn along to steal the show."
MyrtleBeachOnline.com - Found Here

"Vince Vaughn, also provides more than his share of amusement in a handful of scenes as John's mama's boy partner in crime."
