Funny, adorable and beautiful actress Reese Witherspoon is back with another comedy. This Means War, released on Feb. 17, 2012 involves two CIA agents who find out they are dating the same woman.
Special agent FDR Foster (Chris Pine), and special agent Tuck Henson (Tom Hardy) are best friends. FDR is a womanizer who tells the ladies that he is a captain of a cruise ship. Tuck has an ex-wife, young son and introduces himself to women as a travel agent. After seeing a commercial for online dating, he decides to sign up and meets Lauren Scott, played by Witherspoon.
Shortly after their first date, Lauren bumps into FDR at a video store. He flirts with her, asks her out, and soon the men find out they are dating the same woman. The friends make a pact not to have sexual relations with her and let Lauren decide who she wants to be with. Their pact quickly gets broken when feelings begin to develop. They use their CIA technology to spy on her and find out what the other is doing with her.
“This Means War” is a hysterical movie that will have you laughing from beginning to end. The practical jokes that each agent plays on one another, girl talks with Lauren and her best friend and the lies to win the woman make this a fun comedy from start to finish.

I love Reese and totally concur that she is “funny, adorable, and beautiful!” I didn’t hear a lot about this movie, so it’s nice to read about it, especially in a positive light. Hopefully I can still catch it in theaters!

Looks like a cute movie! I haven’t really seen any previews for it, so I might check it out. I absolutely adore Reese Witherspoon — she’s such a great actress, so I’m sure it’s a great film!

I am surprised that you didn’t mention Chelsea Handler being in the movie. I think she really takes this comedy to the next level. Reese is known for chick-flicks but this movie is really out of her ‘comfort zone’ and it was great!!
