7/10
Light hearted and enjoyable
23 February 2012
Two secret agents who are best friends fall for the same woman.

Read some bad reviews so I wasn't expecting much but it's actually quite funny and a pleasant diversion. There are not too many laugh out loud moments - there could have been more but it's generally cute and amusing throughout. The way they go after Reese is quite amusing and fun to watch the story unfold.

There isn't a whole lot of chemistry between Reese and the leads but it doesn't matter the whole thing is quite farcical not some drama romance comedy combination. Reese is good for this kind of light hearted role - it's her forte. I don't like her in her heavier roles. She looks quite cute still though not beautiful. The male leads are adequate but not ideal. Tom Hardy isn't good looking enough or charming enough. Chris Pine looks like a caricature of himself - has something happened to him? Chelsea Handler as a wisecracking good friend of Reese is okay but not as funny as I'd expect her to be.

There were some scathing reviews that should be discounted. For what it is it's quite pleasant and fun. Just don't expect that much and you'll be okay.
