In “This Means War,” Chris Pines and Tom Hardy play CIA operatives who compete for the affection of the same woman. Their friendship dissipates after many attempts to sabotage each others budding romances with Lauren, who is played by Resse Witherspoon.

“This Means War” was just like every other romantic comedy out there, except it included action scenes. There was nothing really unique about the movie, and the plot has been played out a million times.

The actors did a good job with the script they had, but that’s the problem. The script and the plot just weren’t any good. It lacked humor.

The movie reached the stalker zone when the guys planted recording equipment in Lauren’s house to find out what her interests were.

Overall, this movie doesn’t hit the mark. It had occasional funny moments, but ultimately the movie is two hours I’ll never get back. I’ll give it one out of five stars…and that’s being generous.
