This Means War Takes It's Shots



Hello again my friends and Happy Valentines Day as it is still Valentines Day while I am writing this review for you right now . This weeks review is of the new romantic action comedy "This Means War" Starring Reese Witherspoon ( Best Actress for Walk The Line) , Chris Pine ( Star Trek , Unstoppable) and Tom Hardy ( Inception and The Dark Knight Rises) . The story centres around two C.I.A agents and best friends FDR Foster ( Pine ) a smooth talking ladies man  and Tuck ( Hardy) a quiet but reserved single father who have been assigned to desk duty for totally screwing up their last assignment in apprehending a terrorist named Heinrich. While on desk duty Tuck comes to the realization that he wants someone to share his life with so he joins an online dating service and meets Lauren ( Witherspoon) a a product quality tester who was put on the dating site by her best friend Trish ( Chelsea Handler) . But soon after leaving her date with Tuck she meets his friend FDR by accident and he becomes determined to get her to go out with him in which she eventually agrees and soon enough the two friends find out they are dating the same woman which turns everything into an all out battle for her affections by the two agents in order to win her over by spying on her to find out more about her as to have the upper hand on one another and to go as far as to sabotage each others dates , all the while Heinrich is planning his revenge on the two agents as this is all going on. This movie's good points were the chemistry by Hardy and Pine they started off a little slow but picked it up as the movie kept going , Reese Witherspoon fit perfectly into the role of Lauren the woman who is having a hard time deciding between the two guys and the script for it taking this battle of two guys trying to get and upper hand on one another over the same girl and sticking with it while giving us background on the characters and who they really are. The bad points were the villain Heinrich he came off kind of menacing but we could have seen a little bit more from him , the best friend Trish I thought Chelsea Handler came off kind of weak in her role and could have tried a little harder or it might have worked with a different actress . But all in all it was an enjoyable movie and it did it for me lots of laughs , some romance and a little bit of action which would make it a good date movie given to us by director McG ( Terminator Salvation ,We Are Marshall and Tv's Supernatural). If you were to ask me and if you are reading this you are I would give this movie a 7.0 on The Justin Scale of movies as this movie with a couple of flaws in a couple of characters was still fun to watch and I would say " Pick-It" when it comes to " Pick-It Or Flick-It" so go out and see this movie if you have a chance you will enjoy it I know I did . Well it is time say cut and call it a wrap on this review so as always Good Morning , Good Afternoon , Good Evening and as always Good Viewing I will see you all again at the movies.

  1. Nice review. All of these leads try their hardest, but the script just lets them down too much with terrible jokes and very ugly feeling underneath this premise. Check out my review when you get the chance.
