Have you ever watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith and wondered to yourself, “Gee, what would this film be like if there was a lot more homoeroticism and the female lead was the stereotypical airhead?” Thus, This Means War. It’s the film that Reese Witherspoon did with Tom Hardy and Chris Pine. Chelsea Handler is in it too, as Reese’s BFF. This is all part of Chelsea’s big plan to branch out into more film and television work as a real actress or something. And the only time I laughed during the trailer is when Chris Pine calls her “an old man”.
Does anyone else think the film is going to be hampered by the fact that Tom Hardy and Chris Pine are unevenly matched in sex appeal? Pine is okay as far as looks go, but when Tom Hardy whips out the accent and the big guns (so to speak), there really is no contest. I can’t imagine that this would be a reasonable contest for any sane woman.
As for Reese… I know why she took this role, but I’m still disappointed in her. It looks like she’s just the one-note “love interest,” a blank-slate used to react against the men’s foibles and actions. But she took it because it’s a big part in a big movie and she got a big paycheck, and because she’s a bigger “name” than either of the dudes. But the role looks like it could have easily been filled with a lesser actress. I’m disappointed because I expect more from Reese.
As for Chelsea, she’s the reason I won’t be seeing this film. It’s bad enough trying to watch her be a “comedienne” but trying to watch her be an “actress” is just awful. And how funny is it that she got “the Vince Vaughn role” in a budget one-off of Mr. & Mrs. Smith?

When I watch Chelsea Lately I realice that the funny ones are her round table guests.
I honestly think Im not going to the movies and spend my time and money watching this “comedy”?
I don’t know who she is or care to find out. She’s gross.
@Kaiser – Tom Hardy looks like Mr. Potato Head’s busted son compared to Chris Pine! I had no idea Chelsea was in this movie- since when is she an actress?
I’m not sure if I’ll spend the cash to see this – looks like a rental to me.
Reese really should give Chelsea hair tips.
Chelsea looks like she has same dentist has Crackie.
Interesting pairing, I read a book written by Chelsea’s mates and got turned off so I’ll just watch re-runs of the fall guy instead of this flic.
lame.
Perfect description of this movie. They could have had any actress in the ditzy girlfriend role, since really it’s about the boys. And they are the only reason I would see this movie at the $1 theater. Alas, since those are nil in my neck of the woods, I’ll have to wait for this to come out on DVD.
Mother of all that is holy, Handler is UGLY.
Another reason for me to miss this one..
I saw this on deadline
Mr and Mr. Smith indeed
does chelsea handler own a hairbrush?
Haggard.
This is one movie I will happily not be attending. CH make LL still look young and pretty. Yuk just Yuk. There is only one movie I’ve seen that I really like Witherspoon in and that was Election. And Handler is simply too gross for words, see what too much booze and sex will do to a person? See! Just say NO to this garbage and I wonder who Handler blew this time to get into the movie in the first place?
Weird,just weird. Handler hangs out with Witherspoon and Anniston (good girl “blondes”) to look less like a bitch and they hang with her to get more of an “edge” and not be good girls or at least seem like it. A mighty high price to pay I would say. Oh and Handler can’t act and no amount of hanging with “good girls” will wipe the nastiness from her.
I disagree. I’d pick Chris Pine over Tom Hardy any day.
I’ll pass on this movie even though Tom Hardy is in it. Chris Pine does nothing for me, Reese has zero sex appeal and is too soccer mom for this role and Chelsea Handler is just a major turn off in any capacity. Sorry, not interested at all in this movie.
Chris Pine over Tom Hardy are two of the weirdest looking men out there.
There is nothing attractive about either of them…
I take that back …
Tom Hardy in motion. Not hot.
Tom Hardy in the photos. Hot.
Chris Pine … weird squished to the bottom of his head face all the time.
I’m so confused.
Why does the world keep trying to convince me that Chelsea Handler is funny???
Looks bad. RW is miscast. I don’t really get the whole thing.
Mr and Mrs Smith was a great movie. This on the other hand…
Is there a female co-star shortage?
Chris Pine allllll the way
Chells really needs to step away from the drugs, seriously-she looks haggard and scary..
meth?? coke, she looks run over.
wont be watching
ok this movie looks really dumb and i had high hopes for it. the plot gimmick just sounds 1000x worse than mr. and mrs. smith. speaking of which, in my continuing campaign of pairing angie with every hot talented actor: tom hardy + angie. in an action-adventure. kicking ass together.
tom hardy was so hot during the shoot for this, before he bulked up for batman and shaved his head. i agree with you, kaiser. i wish the grating chelsea handler wasn’t in this, but i’ll still see it for captain kirk and eames.
I think Chelsea Handler is sexier than Tom Hardy. But they both skeeve me out big BIG time.
However I’m a trekkie and predisposed to like Pine (he’s Kirk) & dislike Hardy (he costarred in the worst Star Trek movie) so I’m hardly impartial.
this is definitely going to be Chris and Tom’s movie. Also, funny to note that both of the male leads have enviably fuller lips then the females.
hahahah, “why is she listening to that old man?” that was a surprising and funny line in an otherwise crappy looking movie.
Chelsea Handler on the big screen? I rather see the Hee Haw donkey, which would amount to the same thing.
And the last Reese Witherspoon I paid to see was Pleasantville. And even then, William H. Macy, Joan Allen and Don Knotts were the reasons I bought a ticket.
I could not see any guy going Fight Club for Reese Bitcherspoon. If she and Chelsey “Old Man” Handler weren’t in this picture I’d see it but, as they are, I’ll completely ignore it.
That looks HORRIBLE. What has happened to Reese Witherspoon’s career? Its a shame but I definitely don’t go to her movies anymore, and won’t go to this one.
Yeesh… just saw the trailer. STINKAROO!!!!!!!!!
First of all, why rip off Mr. & Mrs. Smith? I loved it and all, but I only loved it because Brad and Angelina were the leads and they brought out something in each other. I’m familiar with Chris Pine, not so much the Hardy dude, but this is just testosterone-driven fluff. Second, why am I hearing Michael Bluth saying ‘Her?’ when Reese descended down the stairs? Why would these dudes fight over her? And finally… Handler. Not an Eve Arden or Una Merkel, is she? She’s just a hatchet-faced, loud-mouthed b*tch, not a savvy, knowing best friend who will tell you the damn truth, despite liking/loving her best friend.
Crapola!
Tom Hardy….. ooooh. So delectable.
Chelsea Handler on the other hand, she makes me mad. She’s supposedly 6 months YOUNGER than me and she looks a good 15 years OLDER. Rode hard.
She must be hanging out with Lindsey or at least seeing the same dentist. And the hair? oh my, someone is telling her she doesn’t need to do anything to it and then laughing behind her back cuz that is a B-A-D look…
Chelsea Handler is dating Uma Thurmans ex. Wtf? Shes so fugly.
Madonna has got to be about 20 years older than Chelsea Handler, why do they look like twins. Chelsea looks horrible for her age.
i just realized chelsea looks a lot like poopie (gwyneth) they’re both fug and very mock-able also
To infiltrate whatever organization she’s probably involved in somehow/push the story forward, but really, why would they even want to make a long-term girlfriend with someone who cheats…and cheats on them? To infiltrate whatever organization the men are probably involved in somehow/push the story forward. As you wish, I guess. Looks dull and trite.
I love Chris Pine and Tom Hardy in different ways, but TH takes the edge with that mouth. Unf.
After Handler abused Angie, there is nothing she can do to make me even like her shadow!
I’m a Tom Hardy fan, and I’d watch this. It looks fun.
@Dawn
“Handler is simply too gross for words, see what too much booze and sex will do to a person?”
Woah there Dawn, let’s not blame sex! Booze and coke yes; however, most of us look our best when we are getting laid on the regular. Now if you mean all the sex Chelsea has with randoms cuz she’s a giant ho, ITA! LOL
This looks like fun fluff, which I like. Reese looked the best she’s looked in awhile for this film, and those two guys are HOT!
Kelly: That looks HORRIBLE. What has happened to Reese Witherspoon’s career?
==============================================
It must be circling the bowl if she has to co-star in a movie with the likes of Chelsea Handler. Any respect I had for Witherspoon is down the drain.
I cant believe that Handler witch is in this movie with the likes of Reese & Tom!!
I guess husslin and fukcin really do get you what u want in Hollywood 🙁
That pic looks like someone pulled her head out of a toilet and told her to grin.
Next time, leave her in there.
@pwal “Chelsea Handler on the big screen? I rather see the Hee Haw donkey”
LOL!!! Not sure I would have gone there on my own, but now when I look at her I hear ‘Hee Haw’, too funny!
What Callumna said. 😆
I actually can’t wait to watch this movie, mainly because of my Chris Pine obsession. He’s just too pretty!
I said it before. She wants so bad to be the people she ragged on. Which is why she doesn’t rag on certain actors/actresses. She wants to be a Star.. on the big screen.
I guess that TV show she was plugging didn’t work. GOOD because I was not going to watch anything she is ever in. And her SHOW is the kiss of death for movies. Every person that does her show has a BOMB at the BO..
Check it out. Reese, Paltrow, Hathaway, Aniston, Witherspoon, Ferrell, OH my the list goes on and on and on.
Want a movie to Bomb.. promote it on her show.
I loose respect for anyone that does her show.
You nailed everything in your write up Kaiser. I agree.
– Tom Hardy all the way- he is so yummy.
– I too expect more from Reese, I adore the girl. Her role in this looks like it could have been played by anyone.
– And I loved it when CP called Handler ‘an old man’ lol. I had a good giggle over that. I love that they put that bit in the trailer lol.
It is a shame that Handler is in this because it looks like one of those mindless, silly/fun movies to watch after a hard day. Handler being in it puts me off. I may give it a go for Tom Hardy and Reese though..
Nice post. I was checking continuously this weblog and I am impressed! Extremely helpful info specifically the remaining section 🙂 I maintain such information a lot. I was looking for this particular information for a long time. Thank you and good luck.
