Busta Rhymes - I Love My Chick (2006)
** (of four)
Busta and Gabrielle Union play Mr. and Mrs. Smith, an upscale couple first seen undergoing a marriage counseling session. During which they insist they have no problem getting along. No fighting. But, very much like the 2005 Brangelina movie of the same name, the Smiths are on different sides of the law, and the video (directed by Busta with Benny Boom) delights in showing the pair locked in silly-ass forms of combat. None of it is to be taken seriously, and none of it's particularly funny, so mainly we're on overfamiliar blockbuster turf. High-budget eye candy without much inspiration to back it up.
Busta, dressed in camouflage, rolls in on some kind of off-road dune buggy while Gabrielle is hanging out in her desert Unabomber shack. Busta proceeds to blow that up with a bazooka, and back in civilization, she retaliates by running him over with an SUV. Let's see, Gabrielle also chases Busta around the living room while wielding a sword, and he throws sofa cushions at her. Then they make out wildly and assure coy, curious neighbor Dr. Dre that everything's fine at home, just before the mansion is blown to bits by the feds.
There's no "To Be Continued" title card superimposed at the end, but you can be sure that, if Brad and Angelina make a Mr. and Mrs. Smith 2, Busta will make an "I Still Love My Chick" video. And producer Will.I.Am will put together another beat that apes The Neptunes, with him singing the bridge and everything.
