Review of This Means War (2012) by Goodfella — 20 Jul 2012

This is movie making by commitee and no surprise to see it was made by 'mcg'. Lots of action for the guys. Check. A romantic plot for the girls. Check. Three hot leads. Check. A plot to appeal to teenage girls.

Check. As usual, trying to make a movie that will appeal to everyone always fails to deliver, and this does big time. Tom hardy is my favourite actor around right now, but comedy, errr....no. Chris pine fairs much better and is the only good thing in this movie.

Reese witherspoon is as adorable as ever, but the whole thing is just uninvolving and boring. Oh, and witherspoons 'kooky' and 'hilarious' friend offering advice (Check) has been done to death over the past 25 years and should now surely be laid to rest.

A wish fulfillment movie for teenage girls, everyone else should probably steer clear.
