This means war

  • I imagine the pitch to a studio executive went something like this: How do we get women who love romantic comedies and guys who love action flicks together in the same theater? And in an instant, This Means War was born.

  • This Means War has two guys in love with the same woman. Eternal triangle movies don't have a lot of wiggle room. Most just awkwardly toss three people into a tangled tango. One wins the dance, two are happy and the odd person out loses.

  • If one movie a night is never enough for you and youre looking for a flick to get you in the mood for this weeks new release, Double Feature Friday is here to help.

  • Foxs This Means War, which officially opens today, was a box-office story before it even hit theaters.
  • (New York Post)
  • If theres anything I hate more than a stupid action comedy, its an incompetent stupid action comedy. Its not so bad its good; its so bad its nothing else but bad.

  • Presumably, there are more depressing prospects in the world than watching Reese Witherspoon once again jut her chin forward and screw her face up in concentration to play yet another control freak in desperate need of a rakish man to loosen her up.

  • In the dictionary, "frothy" is defined as being "light and entertaining but of little substance." "This Means War" is a totally frothy film. And thats a good thing, at least here. (Sometimes  substance is overrated.
  • (YAHOO!)
  • Two CIA agent pals use their training and technology to compete for the same woman in This Means War. This Means War ★★ The more preposterous the situation at the center of an escapist entertainment, the more genuine the characters need to be.
  • (Free Times)
