Review For This Means War

It's a brisk sprint over familiar ground with just enough appeal to action addicts and romantic-comedy lovers to amuse fans of both genres.
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service

The director is McG, who allows no motion to pass without a musical energy boost.
Anthony Lane-New Yorker

"This Means War" is the worst McG film yet. And good Lord, that is saying something.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune

The best you can say about This Means War is that it would make a good date movie for couples in the witness protection program.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor

Slides by on the strength of Tom Hardy.
Laremy Legel-Film.com

And we have our first lock for the Worst of the Year list.
Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com

It's not the most realistic spy film or the most tear-enducing romance; however, This Means War works as a middle-of-the-road guilty pleasure.
Ben Kendrick-ScreenRant

Being a little absurd is acceptable, but completely throwing reality out the window in a film that tries to ground itself in it is pushing it too much.
Jeff Beck-Examiner.com

In a turn of events that utterly defies the terrible trailer that's been making the rounds for the last few months, This Means War actually proves to be an agreeably dim-witted combo of testosterone-fuelled action and an estrogen-friendly love story.
Kristal Cooper-We Got This Covered

This Means War remains a vapid, rushed effort that pays little attention to its characters in favour of making sure it hits every comedy and action beat on time with a reliable but ultimately tuneless drum.
Matt Looker-TheShiznit.co.uk

An unusually focused depiction of male courtship issues, albeit in a surface-y, mainstream sort of fashion.
William Bibbiani-CraveOnline

Love is a battlefield in This Means War, and the three likable leads are the casualties.
Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema

There are better action comedies out there.
James Plath-Movie Metropolis

Their spy-prying...and displays of lunkheaded brawn...aren't endearing; they're horrifying, in ways there's no coming back from. [Blu-ray]
Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews

This insulting, structureless so-called romantic comedy is a wretched embarrassment for all involved, especially Witherspoon, who is required to act like a ninny while other characters remark on how 'really, really beautiful' she is.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

...more like a business plan than a movie, and it's difficult to imagine that any of the professionals who collaborated to produce it would ever want to watch it.
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

Overall, this is solid date night fare. You would be disappointed that you spent the time or money but you'll never need to see this film again.
Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show

The fast-paced jokes help overcome the preposterous covert underpinnings.
Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah)

... too much action, not enough comedy, and no romance at all ...
Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review

Bathed in bright plastic colours, scored to sleazy jazz funk, This Means War comprises endless short scenes that never quite coalesce into a real motion picture.
Donald Clarke-Irish Times

McG's weakness is in developing character and story... and since they make up about 80 percent of the movie, we're left stranded.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-San Francisco Examiner

I have never been in a movie screening that had such a divided reaction as This Means War; on one side film critics moaning and groaning from start to finish, on the other a young audience laughing and cheering through every scene.
Brian Henry Martin-UTV

This Means War gleefully stirs together the spy caper and rom-com genres, and with Charlie's Angel director McG at the helm the resulting mash-up is everything you'd expect: brash, loud and spectacularly dumb.
Jason Best-Movie Talk
