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

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)

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.

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.

Dear Lord...
This is the worst film I saw this year (2012). I know why Reece Witherspoon is in it, after all, crap romcoms are her bread and butter, but why-oh-why did the fabulous Tom Hardy... Read more

This is no war....
.... this is a predictable, silly couple of hours watching two very handsome young stars (oh, to be a good few years younger!) fighting to win the hand of Reece Witherspoon. Read more

Not what you expect
Very interesting film, quite a few good laughs throughout, though the plot was a bit predictable in places, hence not five stars

Great film!
This is a chick flick but even your boyfriend might be interested in watching with you as there are exciting car chases as well as romance. A great addition to the collection.

McG Launches a Charmless Offensive
Certain actors keep popping up on my rental list and I cannot think for the life of me why this is. Could their rippling muscles and pleasing looks attract the eye of my partner? Read more
