It must have seemed a good idea when it was pitched to the financiers. Combine a romance for the ladies with an action adventure for the gents and sprinkle with humour. How could it fail? Watch the money roll in! In This Means War two CIA operatives are suspended after a covert operation turns exceedingly overt. Whilst on suspension they draw on the resources of the CIA to battle for the affections of a woman.
It sounds a bit naff and the story is indeed puerile. There's no charm and little wit. Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine and Tom Hardy are individually attractive but this does not do justice to their talents.
