Top CIA partners, and bestfriends, would take bullets for each other. Until they find out that they are dating the same girl. Now, they will be using they're spying skill to win the love of the girl. *** Let me start by saying that I don't think this film was kind of a cliche romantic-action-comedy movie. I had fun and so much entertainment watching this film as when guys are literally taking into ACTION and FIGHT for the love of one lovely woman. Tom Hardy, Chris Pine and Reese Witherspoon deliver their good acts of humor satisfyingly for all the audience to enjoy. Definitely not a waste of time to see.

Definite career lowlight for all the principal cast, who are mostly wasted in this lifeless, silly, and unbelievable action comedy. The comedy is virtually absent here - relegated mostly to broad and obvious jokes and some clever one-liners by Chelsea Handler (the only character who made me smile a few times.) The action isn't even really handled well. McG is usualyl a dynamic director, but he phones it in here, using a combination of slow motion and quick cuts to film some snoozers of action scenes that don't bring anything new to the table. In all, the film is a tired retread of other, better film premises and just feels rushed and half-assed by all involved.

I watched this only because of Tom Hardy, who of course is the only one good thing about it. Otherwise it's a moderately entertaining but mostly obnoxious and silly piece of fluff. It had a lot of potential, but coming from McG-- still the most ridiculously named director out there-- it's a frenetic and absurd mess that wastes it's hot talent. Again though, Hardy is funny and has the heart, but everything surrounding him is just absurd and slightly creepy.
