Review: This Means War

Feb 03, 2012 19:02

So, I got to go to an advanced screening of this movie on Wednesday night and I howled with laughter throughout the movie.

Granted, it's basically a chick flick, but it's a chick flick with action, with spies, bad guys and some hilarious puns.

Chris Pine aka Capt. Jim Kirk 2.0 is a CIA agent whose cover story job is a cruise ship captain.  I was snickering hard at that.  I figure the writers had some fun doing the minor Trek puns.

Opening scene of the movie, he's chatting up two women, saying he's a cruise ship captain, and that his friend is a travel agent.  So, one of the women all but purrs, "Permission to come aboard, Captain?"  I was laughing so hard, being one of the few in the audience who got the in-joke.

Even the Evil One liked it - he was cackling with glee during scenes and we both gave it a thumbs up for being a fun movie.  :)

The movie is a hoot - go see it and laugh yourself silly.
