This Means War is a highly enjoyable action comedy with Academy Award Winner Reese Witherspoon (Walk the Line), Tom Hardy (Inception, Bronson) and Chris Pine (Star Trek, Unstoppable). The two actors play CIA operatives who are also best friends but their friendship is tested when they both fall in love with the same woman, played by Witherspoon.The Oscar Winner and one of Hollywood's top box office actress always delivers in comedy, as proven in the Legally Blonde films, Sweet Home Alabama and Four Christmases but the biggest surprise of this film are the two lead actors. Pine and Hardy both have excellent chemistry and good comic timing. And who would thought that Tom Hardy, next seen as the villain Bane in this summer's The Dark Knignt Rises, could excel well as a comedic actor, as he is well-known in dark films such as Bronson.
Chelsea Handler also stars as Witherspoon's best friend who engages in dirty sex and foul language, to which I should say is her forte.
The film is directed by McG (Charlie's Angels series and Terminator Salvation). This is one chick flick that guys too would enjoy.
