I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

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!

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.

Two top CIA operatives wage an epic battle against one another after they discover they are dating the same woman. I really don't get the hate for This Means War it's not a bad movie and sure it's not the best Tom Hardy film ever cause i still love The Dark Knight Rises and The Warrior more but this could come somewhere as 3rd and he even said that he will never make another comedy and i really don't understand why he won't make another one of those kind of films he isn't the first actor that made a comedy that bombed or that critics hated i mean common Al Pacino starred alongside Adam Sandler are you kidding me? There's plenty of actions and laughs especially that paintball scene was awesome and even the fight scene between Pine and Hardy was directed pretty well done and there's also a pretty good chemistry between the 2 men and Witherspoon i think that this is a misunderstood a film it won't turn into a Classic but it's not a bad film too i mean it's from the director of Terminator Salvation and it's actually a pretty movie 10/10.
