cazzmarquez 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

Mihai Toma When two very different federal agents, with a strong friendship between them, try to seduce and eventually fall for the same woman, the make a deal to fight fair for her heart. Obviously, this is not going to happen so, much sooner than imagined, they start to use every mean considered necessary for this sole purpose.It's a movie which tries to seem serious by providing a good plot with a couple of good actors, but which can only lead to one result. Thus, what it ends up to be is a great comedy which presents multiple situations, bound to make you laugh out loud. The nice part is that it mostly succeeds, really making you laugh, or at least providing a very good time. The not so good part is that it tends to exaggerate in this aspect, focusing way too much on the funny part of things, leaving the story a little bit behind. It's not something that can ruin the experience, but it is worth noting it.The overall impression it leaves is a very positive one, managing to create an entertaining atmosphere, with a not so predictable course of events which ultimately lead to a quite satisfying finale. It's a very good watch if you're in for a comedy but don't expect something ground-breaking in terms of everything else.

jayneyhere It was bad enough looking at Hollywood women with upper lip enhancement that makes them look like they were hit in the mouth (not to mention it's so phony looking), but this movie now indicates men are getting this stupid upper lip enhancement too. It just looks completely stupid and obvious, and it's so distracting that it makes getting "into" the movie, a lot harder. I can understand (maybe) why Hollywood thinks women should have plump sexy lips (but they don't pull it off) but men should look natural, that's what gives them character. Otherwise they're just another face in the crowd of hundreds of other pretty boys trying to make it in the movies now. Please stop this uglification of the human face, who started this anyway?

Troy Putland Male viewers want to watch the latest action movie. Female audiences would rather see a romantic comedy (as the stereotypes go). How do you keep both genders happily entertained with one film? By mixing the genres together, and with This Means war, it pays off. Reese Witherspoon's Lauren is the centre of attention. She's blissfully unaware that the two men she's dating happen to be best friends. She carefully juggles woman down-on-her-luck with the strong woman to aspire to (for the women, only). Pals and partners FDR (Chris Pine) and Tuck (Tom Hardy) bring the action, but their initial mission takes a back seat as they wage war against each other for her affection. FDR is the confident, often cocky type and Tuck is the silent, kind hearted British type. They eavesdrop on Lauren's conversations to win her over. This opens up an intelligent scene that sees Witherspoon dancing around her apartment making popcorn whilst Pine and Hardy expertly place cameras when she's not looking. As highly entertaining as their squabble is, it's foolish that they're allowed to use the CIA's resources to spy on each other. Blah blah's villain is wasted, Chelsea Handler is hilarious as Witherspoon's mad friend and potential competition between the agents could be used elsewhere, but This Means War is still an entertaining, funny watch thanks to its dogmatic love triangle.Check out my other reviews on http://straighttelling.co.uk
