Went to see This Means War. By myself because no one wanted to see it with me. I actually really enjoyed it. It's not like its a masterpiece but it was good fun. And funny. Which was almost unfortunate because evidently no one else seeing it thought so. So I was laughing quietly because I would have felt awkward laughing as loud as I would have liked to in such a very quiet theater.



I actively wanted to punch Chris Pines character for at least 3/4 of the movie. And take Tom Hardy home with me. In fact if I'd been Reese Whitherspoon's character he's who I would have picked. But you almost knew she wouldn't because Tuck came with a son and an ex he clearly wasn't quiet over. FDR just came with a giant helping of I'm the bestest at everything look at me and my awesome and my always wins-ness. Which oh look he did.

For all that the movie was trying to be about 4 different genres it was well balanced. There was action and spy stuff and romance and bromance. Car chases, paint ball fights. Slices of life.

They characters were all pretty well rounded Lauren wasn't some woman who was sure her life wasn't worth anything with out a man, it all happened by accident really. Well with the help of her meddling friend.

I was all sad panda when Tuck and FDR were all we aren't friends anymore. Because well they were all I love you and I'll take a bullet for you and nothing shall ever come between us. But they got back together. Then FDR stuck his foot in it at the very end by reveling that he'd slept with Tuck's girl before Tuck knew her, but really that's the sort of character he was and also why I wanted to punch him.

He's like my little brother was before he grew up times a thousand. And yet for all his past horn dogness he fell in love with Lauren and she with him. Maybe that's why it's such a hard sell for me. Parts of the characters personality are a little to similar to my brother and thus want to punch in the face. Not that I want to punch my brother but if a guy like that hit on me I'd either laugh, or punch him in the face.

Also part of me was like, why pick Lauren, keep them both. Though I think polamory is maybe asking a bit much from hollywood.

I guess I would say if it looks interesting to you, go see it. It's a fun movie. You'll get a laugh or twelve out of it. Shirtless Chris Pine. Wet Tom Hardy. Reese Witherspoon mostly naked.
