Review of This Means War (2012) by Kadeemluvmusic — 25 Dec 2014

It was okay, but it wasn't that half bad. I'm not so sure why anybody called this a flop, but it did receive a minor success at the box office just barely made it to the top 5. I thought Reese Witherspoon's career was going to be doomed again thanks to the awful 2010 flop with Owen Wilson.

But I thought her performance in "This Means War" is pretty good, but the whole movie is decent at some point. I have a hard time with this one because the critics are right on the ball and McG should've just stick to Charlie's Angels unless you want to be famous for being a joke of a music video-turned-movie director.

Sure, I love romantic comedies, but some sucked including those Heigl what's-her-name embarrassments. And I'm not so sure on the term "action romantic-comedy" either. I felt that something needs to change drastically in "This Means War" including a confusing script and the chemistry (which is good, but not great) between Reese, Pine, and that other dude.

I'd prefer a rental, but I wouldn't be too excited. I forgot, Tom Hardy in the movie, Pretty weird.
