This Means War Review

Hello My Lovely's,
I watched this film quite a while ago, however I forgot to review
about it due to my illness, so I am now. I recently got sent the Blu-ray
version as well which is a little better than the normal DVDs although I do
still prefer them.
The film stars Tom Hardy, Reese Witherspoon and Chris Pine
and focuses on the pair fighting to get the girl. Pine's character FDR and
Hardy's, Tuck portray two spy’s who after Witherspoon's character Lauren goes
on a date with each one decide to fight it out for the girl. This leads to the
boys drugging each other, a show down at lunch and other acts that would ruin
the others.
However Lauren has a plan of her own to choose between the
two men as she plans to break the only rule the two boys have created. She
decides that she will have to sleep with one to decide which one is the best.
This causes a discomfort able time for the two men as their friendships are put
to the test as well as ruining their reputations at work.
The mix between romance and action sets a very interesting
tone to the film as it draws in both the male and female audiences with many
likeable characters on screen. This is definitely a film in which shocked many
Tom Hardy fans as it was something many had never seen him in before. Yet he
definitely portrayed it very well. Pine is mostly known for his work in 'Star
Trek' was likeable yet it seems he may have been trying a little too hard to
portray the ladies’ man on screen causing the audience members and myself to
lean in favour to Hardy's character. Witherspoon is just spot on in her quirky
ways, especially in the scene in which she dances around to 'This is how we do
it', adding laughs among the way. With
supporting cast from Chelsea Handler, who is well known for her all out ways,
the film was very comedic at many moments between the two women’s approach
towards the men.
Directed by McG, the film is very cleverly placed together
to portray a different take on the romantic genre of cinema. However the plot
could become quite clear to many audience members as they look at the
interactions between Lauren and the different men.
Overall the film is very good in mixing rom-com with action
that is fit for all audiences. I really enjoyed it and would suggest you all
watch it. So I am giving it...
3 Stars
Until Next Time...
