There is a tragedy that occurs too often in the world. Something that happens to everyone, no matter what they do. I call it "When Bad Movies Happen to Good Actors".
The film is about two CIA agents who discover that they are dating the same woman. Then the title occurs. Thats it. Thats all you need to know.
When you watch this movie, you will think that you are physic. That's because the film is so cliched and predictable that it's just sad. Director McG has no sort of control over the film, and has no idea how to direct something of this genre. There is sloppy editing, poor writing, and no sense of equilibrium as the film never finds its footing. And the ending.......just so unnecessary.
The themes in here are absolutely awful. Rather than plotting revenge against the polygamistic girl who is playing with both of their hearts, they enter a war of egos in trying to win hers. And when the truth comes out, she somehow decides to blame THEM. A true romantic film focuses on the tenderness of emotion rather than the competition for sexual reward. Is this film a foretelling of where America is headed? I surely hope not.
Chris Pine and Tom Hardy are both excellent actors, and it is clear that they aren't just working for a paycheck. They truly put their all into this film, but unfortunately it isn't enough as they are given nothing to work with. But good effort boys, good effort.
Reese Witherspoon....Well my grandmother always said that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
The redeeming factor here is Til Schweiger (You may remember him as Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz from Inglourious Basterds.) The fact that he keeps his cool and doesn't resort to lame jokes or slapstick in an otherwise garbage movie makes him "Andrew's Standout."
Save your money. This movie is just not worth it. If I hadn't won the tickets on the radio, I would not have seen it.
