‘This Means War’ has some action, some romance and some comedy in its mix
Reese Witherspoon is the female lead who finds herself in a bit of a dating fix
Two CIA agents played by Tom Hardy and Chris Pine are the ones getting involved
They use their CIA status to do unusual things in order to get the situation resolved
Chelsea Handler plays Reese’s best friend who signs her up on a dating website
Circumstances work out to find these two good buddies in this friendly dating fight
Using their CIA resources they perform surveillance on her and each other’s dates
This helps them find out details that they hope will determine their ultimate fates
The bickering between them escalates and they would like this conflict done
She’s equally conflicted dating the two of them and is trying to pick just one
The action scenes, which seem out of place in this film, feel sort of contrived
A big shoot out at the beginning sets up the climax with the bad guy who survived
The varied elements in this film, I think, were done to try to make the appeal wide
It’s really not very good and I would say to pass on this if you’re trying to decide
