Synopsis/Review: This Means War


How if two CIA agent used CIA technology to compete with each other to get a girl?
Well that's what FDR (Chris Pine) and Tuck (Tom Hardy) did to get Lauren (Reese Witherspoon).
FDR and Tuck were two of CIA Agents and best friends. They were signed to a mission but then the mission went wrong, which resulted they're being suspended by their boss, Collins (Angela Bassett). So they're back working behind the desk. 
While they're not on duty, Tuck who's a divorcee with one kid, tried his luck to find a girl by joining a dating online website.
In the mean time, Trish (Chelsea Handler), Lauren's friend, put Lauren's profile on the dating online website, the same one with Tuck.
Then Tuck and Trish met each other online, and decided to meet in real life. 
FDR who knew that Tuck hasn't been dating since long time ago, decided to give him support. He would be in the area not far from their dating place, which was in the video store. 
Before Lauren went home, she decided to a video store, which was located not far from her meeting place with Tuck; the same place where FDR waiting for Tuck. Accidentally FDR met Lauren there, and had little conversation there. He didn't know that Lauren was Tuck's date.
Realizing that they dating the same girl, FDR and Tuck decided to compete with each other to get the girl, including using CIA resources, from the agents until the technology.
Whose gonna win Lauren's heart then?

It's interesting to see Tom Hardy plays in a romantic comedy after I watched his previous movie 'Warrior' where he became a boxer :)
Actually I enjoyed the movie, I laughed a lot when I watched the movie especially hearing Trish's comment when giving advices to Lauren; but I think it's not a strong movie that you must watch. And also, Angela's acting as Collins (FDR & Tuck's boss) was not that strong in the movie, it seems that she's nervous or what? Dunno ... 
I didn't watch the trailer before I watched the movie, so I chose to watch this movie because I like movie that involves CIA or any government agencies ;)
