It’s movie review day here at Glitter, Bliss, and Perfect Chaos, and we’re super excited to see the movie, This Means War. So last week was were happily ever after with the movie, The Vow. I figured this week it might be hard to compete with that, but with guys that look like this in the movie and Reese Witherspoon, it has a fighting chance.
Here’s the trailer:
The Verdict: In my book, That Boy, Jadyn refers to a trifecta as a hot guy, hot body, hot car. This movie is the trifecta. The triple threat. Romance, comedy, and action. All in one movie. I loved this movie. And unlike last week, where the guys looked like they got drug into The Vow kicking and screaming, the guys in this movie were laughing like maniacs and were clearly enjoying this movie as much as I did. This movie is the perfect date movie. The romance is what brings the story together, but it’s really the story of two best friends and how competing for a girl affects their friendship. The fact that these men are CIA agents is what makes the movie hilarious. That and Chelsea Handler was awesome as Reese Witherspoon’s best friend.
Loved this movie. Want to marry it and have it’s babies.
5 stars, Happily Ever After.
Go see this movie!!!! It’s awesome!!
Just a reminder of how we rank movies here at Glitter, Bliss, and Perfect Chaos:
One Star = Walk of shame. I was in last night’s dress, carrying my shoes as I rushed off. I can’t believe I wasted my time on him and pray no one I know sees me.
Two Stars = Bad date. He didn’t really do anything wrong, we just didn’t have any chemistry. Maybe he just wasn’t my type. I probably won’t answer if he calls.
Three Stars =Hookup. We had a great night together. Don’t know if it will be more than that, but it was sure fun while it lasted.
Four Stars = Stalking him. What a night! We danced, we kissed. Now if I could just get him to call me.
Five Stars = Happily ever after. I love him! I want to marry him, have his babies, and live happily ever after.

Yep, this is a movie I’m really excited about seeing. Maybe I can get my husband to take me SOOON. 🙂 Thanks for great review. And, the pics were nice to look at also. lol.
I saw this movie with my daughter this weekend and we both loved it. It was just pure fun. Thanks for your great review and, of course, the pictures.
I just went to this tonight for my birthday. Me and my 2 best friends spent a good 20 minutes before the movie arguing over which man was hotter, Tom Hardy or Chris Pine. We finally decided to call it a tie! I mean 1 has an accent that could melt your soul, and the other has eyes bluer than the water in the tropics, AND both of them have bodies to die for!!! How could anyone possibly choose… and who would want to anyway!? I’ll take both.
But I definitely agree with everything you said in your review. Great movie for both men and women. It was the perfect combo of romance, comedy and action and Chelsea Handler killed it! Funny, Funny, Funny! If you had a 6 star rating, I’d use it for This Means War!
Well Happy Birthday!! And I agree, it would have been a difficult choice. I reapply liked how both ended up happy.
Given the title I was expecting a little more on the flights and blowing things up side of things. 🙂 They have a spectacularly glamourous opinion of the CIA, but it looks like fun. Now all I need is a sitter!
Cheers
There was lots of that. Everyone I’ve talked to that has taken their men in their lives has loved it!! Get the babysitter!!
Get the sitter!! It’s a great movie!!
This looks good from the trailers. Don’t know if I will make it to the theater to see it but I’ll definitely check it out. Chris Pine is so good looking it almost hurts to look at him, doesn’t it? 😉
Thanks for the review!
You know, I keep hearing the name Tom Hardy everywhere yet had no idea what this guy looked like. Even funnier was a couple of weeks ago I watched ‘Warrior’ on a flight back from L.A. and totally fell in love with one of the fighters. Now I see he is in this movie and that his name is Tom Hardy! All this time and I never knew. Guess I really have to move my attention further than a guys abs.
My friend, Natalie, on the otherhand is a total Chris Pine freak.
I can’t wait to see this movie. And thanks for the movie clip. That will keep me going all day 🙂
Awesome review! And I’m glad you liked the movie! Will definitely have to go and check it out myself now! 😀

Hooray! I have been hearing only good things so far.
AS much as I found this film entertaining, I think 5-star is a bit much. Still, this was a review worth reading. Have a read at my review,

What do you think?
I think your review is very in depth. Our reviews here are rated on how much entertainment and enjoyment we get out of them, and I LOVED this movie a whole lot. Is it going to win awards, no. But most the movies that do tend to bore me to death. Thanks for stopping by. I’ll be sure to check out more of your reviews! It’s always fun to see what other people think!! Oh, I forgot to mention that we also like abs, like a lot. Which is why Immortals was a favorite. I forget what the story was about, but I really enjoyed the movie.
