It was fun in that "Well it wasn't all bad" kinda way.
All three of the leads give really good performances, but it is not entirely surprising that Reese is the hopelessly single girl, Pine is a womanizing d-bag and Hardy is the well-intentioned emotional Brit. It all works out the way you think it would, and like I have said before that is not all bad for this type of light hearted fare.
McG (sigh) gives us a very polished and good looking film. The action scenes are shot with a lot of flare and there are some really fun "stealth" sequences involving some really long shots.
As an action movie it delivers the goods, but it is the "romantic comedy" stories that fall flat on their faces towards the end. We are led to believe that this woman would date these two guys and have it revealed to her that they were not only lying about knowing she was dating the other but on top of that they were secret agents using her as measuring stick for which could "win" her. Really? They took the plot from "She's All That" and added spies.
Finally, Chelsea Handler should not be allowed on screen or given the opportunity to open her mouth.
