This Means War Reviews
Honestly, this is a chick flick, rom com, Blockbuster/Red Box type of film. Not horrible, but definitely not OMG either. Just something to watch if you're looking to be mildly entertained.
Um filme de espionagem de comédia romântica, em que a parte da espionagem fica em total segundo plano (talvez seja um motivo para torná-lo mais másculo), mais divertido do que supunha e até bem conduzido, que me surpreendeu positivamente uma vez que a abordagem não foi misógina, embora a crítica especializada tenha classificado de "vergonha alheia"... Gostei, teria feito uma escolha diferente da protagonista, embora entenda seus motivos… Engraçadinho, romântico, simples e gostosinho...
a funny and charming cool kids rom com. I had fun with this.
Fun, predictable Rom-Com. Giving 3- stars due to Chelsea Handler's character, who is unnecessarily brash, adds nothing to the plot, & the friendship between her character & Witherspoon's is not believable. Others Otherwise, it's a cute, enjoyable datenight-in flick
Chelsey Handler's exhaustively unfunny character ruins this movie. Every line she has it's like she's doing open mic standup for the first time, it's painful to watch. Other than that, the movie is decent; nothing to write home about, but if you can stomach Handler's failed attempts at being funny you might enjoy this.
Really predictable and boring. You hope it recovers but it just never does. How did they clear this budget???
Cute Funny Witty and Action all in one very good show
Was acceptable to watch once, and then never ever again.
I like it a lot. I tend to skip the first 10 and last 20 minutes when rewatching it, but the middle part is really fun.
This Means War is a romantic comedy spy film that tries to blend action, humor and romance, but does not succeed on all fronts. The film stars Reese Witherspoon as Lauren, a product-testing executive who is dating two CIA agents, FDR (Chris Pine) and Tuck (Tom Hardy), who are best friends and rivals. The agents use their skills and resources to spy on each other and sabotage their dates with Lauren, while also dealing with a vengeful criminal (Til Schweiger) who is after them. The film has a fun premise, but it doesn't really exploit it fully with a weak script and uneven performances. The plot is predictable, the jokes are mostly clichéd and the action scenes were so shaky and all over the place that I couldn't tell what was going on half the time. The film also suffers from a lack of chemistry between Witherspoon and Pine. Unlike Hardy's smooth-talking character who instantly clicks with Witherspoon's, Pine's character just comes off as a cocky a**hole who forces himself on women. Ultimately, the film tries to be witty and exciting, but it ends up just being dull. However, the film is not without its merits. The supporting cast, especially Chelsea Handler as Lauren's best friend Trish, provides great comic relief with her snarky comments and hilarious advice. The film also has a catchy soundtrack, which is something, I guess. Another highlight of the film is Tom Hardy's performance as Tuck, who (like previously stated) brings charm and depth to his character, which I think shows his versatility as an actor. He is easily the most likable and relatable character in the film (next to Chelsea Handler's character). The film also has some funny moments here and there, mainly the paintball scene (which actually made me laugh out loud). But unfortunately, the pros of the film don't outweigh the cons. In the end, This Means War is a film that shows potential, but includes a cast and direction that fail to fulfill it. It's (at best) mediocre, and (at worst) deplorable. Just an attempt at mixing genres that doesn't work very well. It is not a total disaster, but it's not very impressive either. You won't be missing out much if you watched something else.
Overall a good spy action comedy movie, the rivalry to get the girl is fun, reminds me of Michael Jackson's song with Paul Mcartney the girl is mine and the chase scenes were at the end were good. Worth watching.
Two best friends who are the ultimate action heroes fight over the love a girl in this hilarious comedy.
Great cast, funny premise. It's something you can watch a few times. Beautiful people. Fun times. Check it out.
Really poor film. A waste of the talents of all its stars. So obvious that the Brit wasn't going to get the girl. Way too much slapstick fighting. Terrible script. Amazed anyone thought it was worth the $60 milllion budget. Really sexist too. Looked like it was scripted in the 1970s. Don't bother.
LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 37 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A waste of time. The actors and actresses are talented but they can't save this film. The whole concept just bores the crap out of me and I think any viewers!
This is the McG. I like that. So unrealistic but good entertainment.
A great comedy with 2 excellent lead actors. The only downside is the casting of Rees Witherspoon, but I suppose with anyone else it would be a romance not a comedy.
Both my ex and I believe that this movie is great! We agreed on our first date and we agree today years later!
