This Means War Reviews

Easily consumable, puerile entertainment with some devilish giggles to be had; the action romantic's must-see in a sense.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

Entertainment at its fluffiest but as a date movie with some genuine laughs, it works - just overlook the voyeuristic undertones and you'll have fun.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5

Hardy struggles to find his comic timing to soften his bruising hard man image while Pine mugs shamelessly.

Full Review

A film during which very bad things happen very often, and none of them are noticeably funnier than genital trauma brought on by an air rifle.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

McG fails to conjure up any exciting or original set-pieces so it falls flat as an action film.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Hardy, Pine and Witherspoon manage to inject just enough charm to make it bearable.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Not funny, just creepy.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

All sorts of laugh-free and unrelaxed shenanigans.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

No. More. McG. Please.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

A ridiculous plot is punctuated by out of place action scenes and a chronic lack of humour

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

The only outward emotion you'll experience will be if someone chokes on a piece of popcorn in a nearby seat.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

Well acted and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny, thanks to engaging performances and a script that successfully excuses its slightly dodgy premise.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

This Means War is much like its protagnists, a strange mixture of soulessness and trying way too hard - and, frankly, no one likes a date who is quite so keen to impress.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Yet another case of Hollywood execs trying way too hard to give the audience what they think it wants.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

I'd call this How to Lose a Spy in 10 Days, except all along I was rooting for nothing but for Witherspoon to realize what a couple of jerks both guys are and to dump them both...

The more I think about this film, the more upset I get.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10

The guns might suggest it's shaping up to be an action spy caper, but it's just the wrapping for a romcom, like when pet owners shape mince into pellets to conceal medication from their dog.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

Smart, funny and really quite hot, this is worth a look no matter what you think of Charlie's Angels.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

McG's film ticks the expected action boxes easily enough but, as per usual, is not designed to be taken remotely seriously.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

One suspects the perpetrators of this cinematic crime spent Valentine's Day alone.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5
