This Means War Movie Review

I recently saw This Wars Mean (4hours ago in fact) and I hafta say. This is one of the best movies I have seen in a while. This movie features Chris Pine (who I have loved since Princess Dairies 2 and is in the new Star Trek) Reese Witherspoon (from Legally Blonde and Water for Elephants) and Tom Hardy (from Inception).

Five Reasons Why You Should See This Movie:

1. Along with featuring great actors, this movie was very witty. Usually movies these days have what I like to call "awkward humor". The movie will set up an awkward situation in means to make the audience laugh. It works, of course, but it gives the viewer a sense of discomfort. This movie had  authentic jokes. The lines were funny and the actors portrayed that well. 
Yesterday, I went to see Journey 2 with Josh Hutcher and Dwayne Johnson. The movie was pretty good, definitely not as good as the first (Journey to the Center of the Earth). However, the thing that really bothered me was Dwayne Johnson. He's a terrible actor! At the end of the film he says something along the lines of "Sean, hit that button at my signal". I thought he was going to go outside the submarine and risk his life or something. But no. His facial expressions are very misleading.

2. Chris Pine. Come on guys. What's not to love?

3. I have a weak spot for Spy movies. But not only is this a spy movie. It's a RomCom. I'm not actually sure if I would classify this as a ChicFlic for not. You'll have to figure that one out on your own I suppose. Anyhoo, this movie has a wide variety of genres in it really. Whether you like: spy movies, romantic, comedy, action...etc.

4. I'm not the only one who thought it was funny. This was one of those films where everyone in the theater was cracking up. I seriously could not contain myself. I was bent over because I was laughing so hard.

5. Guns, ledges, tables, paintballing, paintings, dogs, cool gadgets, children, grills, DVDs, and water are all featured in this film. Need I say more?

In all seriousness, this movie was quite enjoyable. I am buying it as soon as it comes out on DVD. I will probably not even wait a few weeks for the prices to go down I loved it so much.

I can't wait for the new Star Trek! or the Hobbit (featuring Martin Freeman)!
