From Amazon.co.uk

Spy flick meets romantic comedy in this surprisingly entertaining film about two CIA agents who find themselves in competition for the affections of the same beautiful woman. Agents FDR (Chris Pine) and Tuck (Tom Hardy) are accustomed to using whatever means necessary to complete a mission--and that mentality has a tendency to bleed over into their personal lives. The two agents are also close friends, so when they discover they're both dating Lauren (Reese Witherspoon), they enter into a gentleman's agreement that stipulates they not interfere with one other, allow Lauren to choose the best man for her, and walk away from Lauren if seeing her begins to affect the men's friendship. The agreement quickly degenerates into a contest of epic proportions thanks to the men's competitive natures and the arsenal of government resources at their disposal. Oblivious to the rivalry and the high-tech circus going on around her, Lauren desperately tries to figure out which of the two men is right for her. Her married friend Trish (Chelsea Handler) offers plenty of advice, assuring Lauren that just because she's dating two guys at the same time, "You're not going to hell, but if you are, I'll be there to pick you up." What makes this film so good is its perfect blend of high-action spy caper, laugh-aloud humour, and romance--all skillfully delivered by a talented cast. --Tami Horiuchi

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars I hate Romcoms.... But THIS is amazing 3 July 2012
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
I must say, I've been always hated the predictable, boring American style Romantic/Comedy, however after being dragged to watch this with my, as she would put it, 'better' half I was pleasantly surprised. It wss FANTASTIC. THE best film I've seen this year by far. Don't expect it to not be predictable, but the comedy, is simply sublime. If you don't watch this and get something out of it there is something wrong with you....(And yes I've actually just purchased it. - money where my mouth is)

4.0 out of 5 stars May the best man win 11 Mar 2012
By Mr. R. W. Graham VINE™ VOICE
Format:Blu-ray
This Means War on paper at least sounded like a complete disaster but manages to be
a completely ridiculous very silly but very funny action comedy about 2 rival spies who end up both falling for the same girl. Tom Hardy and Chris Pine 2 of the best upcoming talents are both very good as the two best friends and CIA agents who both meet and fall for Reese Witherspoon also giving a very good performance and then have a competetion which gets out of hand as each agent attempts to sabotage the other's attempt to win the girl's heart. They both use every trick in the book and use every CIA resource in an attempt to get the girl. Forget reality, the whole film is very over the top, silly, immature but if not taken seriously like it's not intended to be taken seriously then it is a lot of fun with good action scenes. The name McG normally makes me cringe but this is probably his best film. Switch brain off and enjoy.

For some reason this was supposed to be "a career low for all its three stars" according to one review in the press. I am glad I still went to see it! The plot of this comedy, if you don't know, is: two CIA agents and best friends accidentally start dating the same woman. Although they start off amicably, they progressively get down to dirtier tricks to spy on and undermine each other's efforts as they try to out-do themselves in front of her - while keeping their jobs secret and investigating the case of a German assassin heading to LA. Eventually the truth comes out... Who will she pick? How will it all end?

This is NOT one of those films where you are supposed to 'turn off your brain' (like Transformers) and it is definitely not an insipid rom-com. I don't know how, but all the incredible silliness and plot holes just don't matter and actually add to the enjoyment. Yeah, sure, in real life they'd be busted the second they diverted CIA resources to surveillance of a random civilian, and what the heck is an East Londoner doing working at the CIA? Forget it all. Both male stars bring something different to the film and for the girl it is a genuine dilemma of who to pick. I would say there is definite chemistry in both couples, and a believable friendship between the 'lads'.

I was fully expecting to sit through the film with a fixed grin and smile half-heartedly at the bits that were obviously supposed to be funny - I am a bit of tough audience when it comes to comedy and sick of the pulp that Hollywood rams down our throats. Not a bit of it, I totally got involved with the film, laughed, and didn't really see much coming in advance until it didn't matter.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Means War 1 Aug 2012
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
5 stars and very funny at times for an action film, think it's a fine line between action and comedy but i do think they have pulled it out of the bag (but that's only my opinion), all 3 main actors did an outstanding job with good direction from the director.

3.0 out of 5 stars Predictable & Dull 29 Nov 2012
By Dismal Angel TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
Despite flashy action sequences, three good looking lead actors and a pretty fast-paced story, this just definitely didn't live up to the expectations I had for it. The story follows FDR and Tuck, two best friends and undercover CIA agents who ultimately find themselves battling for the love of the same woman, who is none the wiser to their associations with each other.

With access to unlimited surveillance gear and some unrealistic technology which will allow them to spy on not only Lauren, but each other, there are sure to be some complications and hard feelings.

The humour here is pretty weak, the actors are good looking, but by the first five minutes of the film, you've already pretty much summed out in your head exactly what is going to happen, the writing is that predictable.

The soundtrack was decent, but the acting was pretty poor (part of me suspects the poor acting is to do with bad direction and subpar writing rather than the actor's talents, all of whom have been more than outstanding in previous titles).

Three out of five for effort though.

5.0 out of 5 stars I actually 'Lolled' while watching this! 14 Oct 2012
By Sue Lewendon VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
This is such a funny film! I sat glued to it and couldn't look away from the screen. Tom Hardy and Chris Pine are AMAZING in it and soooooooo hilarious. Reese Witherspoon is also on top form as the love interest.

This is not your typical rom/com. It has a little bit of everything for guys and girls alike. You almost forget there's a back story too which goes to show you how well the threesome's story gels.

There are alternative endings if you're not happy with the outcome of the film. Each is just as good as the others. My only disappointment was there's no blooper reel, I'd have loved to see how these 3 got on while filming. It looks as though they all had a blast.

Not too much thinking required for this film, but it does manage to keep you guessing who will be the victor. Well it kept me guessing anyway! Put the dvd in, sit back and be prepared to laugh your socks off.

FANTASTIC STUFF!!!
