A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
This Means War features a clichéd storyline, wooden dialogue, overly blue eyes and a gross misuse of American taxpayer's dollars. This romantic comedy is laughable, and not in a good way - I was laughing more at the improbabilities and cheesiness than I was at the actual jokes. There also doesn't seem to be any chemistry within this forced love triangle. It has some fun moments and cool action sequences, but for the most part, This Means War is good for absolutely nothing.
I mean it's a chick flick so you can't expect a big trama out this one. So if you're in the want for a chick flick with 2 hot dudes ( I always lean for Chris Pine ) and a nice beautiful girl with the trama of fighting for someone's loves it's good
Initially when I saw the poster i thought it would be worth watching, after all look at the big 3 cast members; Reese Witherspoon has won an Oscar and Tom Hardy is the man that portrayed the bane character better than I could have thought possible.What a disappointment, that's all I could piece together after watching this flop of a romantic comedy trying and failing to be an action.The story follows two elite CIA agents FDR (Chris Pine) and Tuck (Tom Hardy) after they are grounded for failing a mission in Hong Kong. Back on US soil the two fall for the same girl, Enter Lauren (Reese Witherspoon). They enter a gentleman's agreement to see who can steal Laurens heart. However the rules go out the window and the last thing on the men's mind is being gentlemanly. They implore their CIA skills on one another in a 'whatever it takes to get the girl' mentality. In her defence Reese played the role rather well however the two lead males left much wanting. The storyline is predictable with few laughs along the way which is why they have tried to shove obscenely designed action scenes down your throat to make you forget about the comedy you were promised but are still waiting for. It was a very bland, predictable film which has you checking your watch hoping, praying that it will end soon. I recommend next time you're at the video store just keep on walking and don't look back when you see this title. Mr Unimpressed remains very much unimpressed.
I'm just one of those fans of movies who try to look past the junk and see the treasure while I didn't find any with This Mean Wars.I actually found This Means War quite entertaining. The plot centers around Foster (Played by Chris Pine) and Tuck (Played by Tom Hardy) who are best friends while working for the CIA however they begin dating the same girl Lauren (Played by Reese Witherspoon).Which leads us to a series of events where both men try to get the girl.Now the plot is not something we haven't seen before but it is worth while to watch. Chris and Tom and Reese play off well with their characters that they play and given us quite some comedy moments which when I watch I got some good kicks out of it. So yeah I went into this film without knowing or even seen a trailer for it Sure the film isn't perfect but considering what I have seen in the last few years this one is actually worth my time because I found it funny and entertaining. Plus I like Reese, Tom and Chris' performances in the film.Overall if you're looking for a film that is a comedy and something different then could be your film.I give This Mean Wars an 7 out of 10Of Course You Know This Means War!
