This Means War

Billed as a Valentine's date movie. This Means War tells the story of two undercover agents, partners and best friends even, who fall in love with the same girl. How and who wins the girl are what the rest of the movie is all about.

The movie was laugh out loud funny. Reese Witherspoon was very much in her element and so were the male leads, Chris Pine and Tom Hardy. While I was turned off initially by fast and foul talking Chelsea Handler, I eventually got used to her brand of humor.

Reese Witherspoon's height is occasionally a liability, especially when she is paired with much taller men. The male leads' heights are a good match to hers, helped by her wearing heels most of the movie.

Compared to The Vow, this is a much better date movie as men will enjoy the action and women the romance. Both will probably laugh at loud at the comedy.
