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 liked it, it was fun to watch for one night, it was funny and well-played. I definetly recommend the movie if You'd like to relax next to a bottle of wine

Ok ok, I take that back...slightly too harsh but I've got my point across in one simple powerful sentence. A select few comedies can embed action perfectly to create an entertaining piece of cinema. This, well...yeah no. A young woman seeking love happens to start dating two guys, unfortunately for them they are best friends and work colleagues. They battle each other through the use of creative dates, basic wooing and the occasional fist fight. In conjunction to this, a villainous villain is busy being a villain by seeking vengeance for his brother's death...in a villainous way. The love triangle and CIA subplot really do not blend, the only similarities it details is that the two guys are colleagues. Great. Needed that information. The action sequences were shot well with both Tom Hardy and Chris Pine suitable for their roles, but it's just not exhilarating at all. It's fluff, a big ball of Reese Witherspoon belly button fluff that she occasional fiddles with whenever she desires to do a mediocre romantic comedy. Hardy is "oh hello, gosh, I'm British and I love a good cup of tea. Let's drink and reminisce over good times love? whereas Pine is "hey...yeah, I'm cool...love women, know everything about them". Hilariously stereotypical for all the wrong reasons. All three lead actors give excellent performances given the bland and unfunny script. Their personalities are portrayed which does make this strangely watchable (heck, I've watched it a good few times). It's just not intelligent or funny enough to be classed as good. Neither Hardy, Pine or Witherspoon's finest hour and a half...! Plus, her final choice was just wrong...I mean come on, it's clear the other viable candidate was far nicer!

The story follows two agents that are trying to go after one girl. In stereotypical fashion this causes conflict and so on. The story became very repetitive and dull throughout. The funniest part was that there was an antagonist in the movie. AN ANTAGONIST IN A ROM COME! There is this guy that the two agents try and get at the beginning of the movie and he causes problems randomly.The acting was borderline bad. Chris Pine was his normal pretty boy character that he does in a lot of movies. Don't get me wrong, he is good when he wants to be, but often times he plays the same character. Tom Hardy is still his great self, being the biased guy that I am, he did another great job, except this movie isn't good. Reese didn't have her spoon in this one either. She was just there to be pretty and say things, she didn't really develop at all. She is the same girl throughout the entire movie.The camera was OK, there was a couple good shots, but nothing to recommend the movie to someone for.The soundtrack was pretty good, it was filled with some popular songs that made some cool moments (I'm talking about the opening scene). The soundtrack didn't effect the movie as a whole though, it was just there.This Means War was entertaining for one viewing, I would only watch it again if my parents, SO, or friends wanted to watch it. The movie was story, acting, and everything weak. It was fun, but I don't see it being fun again.This Means War does do one thing. Prove that Tom Hardy could play a bad ass Sam Fisher.
