Leave your thoughts about This Means War.
| Reel Times: Reflections on CinemaMark PfeifferLove is a battlefield in This Means War, and the three likable leads are the casualties. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerClint O'ConnorI guess we should call this a spy-comedy-action-romance. Or just call it what it is: dreadful. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumAs is true in most buddy pictures, the real love in This Means War is between FDR and Tuck. Pine and Hardy are an odd choice as Men Who Bond. Pine behaves like a player on Entourage; Hardy broods as if he thinks dating is torture. But as a result, they're kind of cute in an itchy and scratchy way, bumping shoulders in a pantomime of what men do in love and war. |
| HitFixDrew McWeenyReese is the one with all the options, and in a movie where she's the third prettiest person in the cast, it's obvious whose fantasies are being most clearly indulged here. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallAt least This Means War is an equal opportunity misfire, with as much appeal for men as women, compared to a one-sided weeper like "The Vow." |
| IGN MoviesJim VejvodaEye candy for chicks with a plot that's merely filler (sort of like softcore porn without the sex). |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA romcom about stalking is a hard sell under any circumstances, needing a lot more wit than the juvenile jokes of this script. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongIf you want some nice light yuks, "This Means War" should do the trick. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonIt has plenty for the eyes and ears, but nothing for the brain. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...more like a business plan than a movie, and it's difficult to imagine that any of the professionals who collaborated to produce it would ever want to watch it. |
