This Means War

PG-13
Starring: Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, Tom Hardy and Chelsea Handler
Running Time: 1 Hour and 38 Minutes

This story is spy pitted against spy. It is about two CIA operatives who work together and they fight international crime rings to help keep the world a safer place.
It stars FDR (Chris Pine) and Tuck (Tom Hardy) as the two spies. Tuck is divorced from his wife (because of his double life) they have one son and he is looking for love. He reluctantly decides to try online dating. FDR is a ladies man and has no interest in any long term relationships or commitments.
When Tuck arranges to meet a young lady through online dating, he meets up with Lauren (Reese Witherspoon). She was also reluctant to meet men through online dating and after her good friend Trish (Chelsea Handler) encourages her to do it, she signs up. She meets up with Tuck for a short date and then directly after runs into FDR at the video store where he notices her and won't take no for an answer when he wants to take her out. She finds herself going from dating no one after a break-up with a long-term boyfriend to dating two really incredible guys.
She has a fun job as a consumer tester in Los Angeles, testing new products for companies before they are released to the public.
When the two spies find out they are both interested in the same young lady, they try to out do each other with their dates and the time they both spend with her. She on the other hand has no idea that they know each other. She finds herself in a real dilemma. She is starting to fall for both of them!
Chelsea Handler was great as the friend married with children and living vicariously through Lauren's life giving her advice on the two guys and how to handle her relationships.
I really enjoyed this movie. It was just a lot of fun and a good escape movie. They had some fun action scenes with the spy sequences and the romance was fun and uplifting.
Parents be advised that there were some sexual innuendos, some profanity and adult humor. I would recommend this movie for youth 13 and older.
I am giving " This Means War" three bags of popcorn!
