Sinopsis(1)
Franklin Delano Roosevelt Foster, más conocido como FDR, es apuesto, distinguido y seguro de sí mismo, y posee una habilidad preternatural para atraer a las mujeres guapas. Su mejor amigo y camarada James, por otro nombre Tuck, es atractivo, aunque de facciones duras, y peligroso, pero en cuestiones románticas no está a la altura de su colega. Su estilo sin rival, unido a sus formidables aptitudes para misiones clandestinas y su buena planta, los convierten en los mejores de entre los agentes de la CIA. Pero el antiguo vínculo personal y profesional de FDR y Tuck se ve puesto a prueba cuando, sin darse cuenta, comienzan a salir con la misma mujer. Ésta no es otra que Lauren Scott, evaluadora principal de productos de una destacada publicación de defensa del consumidor. Su conocimiento de productos, desde hornos a teléfonos inteligentes, apenas conoce límites y en su lugar de trabajo se muestra como una experta directiva. Lo que no se le da bien a Lauren es entablar relaciones con hombres, hasta que su amiga del alma, Trish (Chelsea Handler), se hace cargo de la situación e inscribe a Lauren en un servicio de contactos en Internet al que Tuck ha dado su nombre, recientemente y a regañadientes. En la primera cita de Tuck y Lauren saltan chispas y todo resulta muy prometedor. Después de haberse despedido, Lauren entra en una tienda de vídeos, donde, por casualidad, FDR anda en busca de otra conquista romántica que añadir a su historial. Sin saber que Lauren acaba de verse con Tuck, FDR se siente intrigado cuando ella ignora sus insinuaciones. Lauren acaba cediendo a la encantadora estrategia de "no aceptar un no" que pone en práctica FDR y accede a celebrar una cita. Lauren no puede creer que tenga tanta suerte. Ha pasado de estar sola a citarse con dos hombres perfectos y de planta inmejorable. Entretanto, sus pretendientes no tardan en darse cuenta de que ambos se sienten profundamente atraídos por la misma mujer, y sus instintos competitivos entran en acción. Se establecen las reglas de juego. Que gane el mejor. La amistad se transforma en inquina, y salen a relucir todas las jugarretas clandestinas del manual. Esto supone graves conflictos. Esto es la guerra. (20th Century Fox España)

Una relajante película de flirteo. La trama de agentes es aquí lo menos importante, siendo lo principal la chispa entre los personajes y el humor de los momentos en los que se encuentran. La película maneja todo lo suficiente para un momento de diversión, pero no se queda mucho tiempo en la memoria. Los agentes Brad y Angelina, cuyo éxito ciertamente impulsó la idea de hacer esta película, tenían un poco más de gracia.

McG should be a guarantee of a decent, effective action. He’s not. This was rather mediocre and the only real bomb comes with Tom Hardy’s scene on the paintball field. Otherwise, it’s awfully average. And as far as humor goes? There could have been a lot of irony in the dialogues, but in reality, there was a lot less than I expected. The only plus of the movie are the actors themselves. Chris Pine whom I hadn’t known before was okay and Tom Hardy was downright excellent. Reese was a bit of a makeweight, but I didn’t mind her, either. Overall, this movie is the most mediocre average I’ve ever seen. But even despite that, it’s still pretty watchable.

The female characters are boring and annoyingly whiny, McG once again confirmed the reputation of a man of heavy routine who is able to choose nice music and cheesy scenery, but it's already a bit difficult to get it moving interestingly and the script is full of moronic phrases and female wisdom, for which people should obligatorily be sent directly to the menopause penalty box. But Pine and Hardy are such "males" and there is so much between them that all heterosexuality goes away... Why does Witherspoon even get involved in that romantic spy bond of theirs? Watching their "registered" squabbles is almost as fun as watching a clash between Law and Downey. Although the screenwriter is far behind the charisma and the commitment of the actors... Pleasant fun, also because the two can turn a dull superficial pleasure into enjoyment (Pine as an expert on Klimt? I like it!).

Nicely shot, with a typical video-clip style, overexposed and relatively entertaining. But at its core, it is a very flat film. I would expect more action, less romance, but it was exactly the opposite. Chris Pine and Tom Hardy are great likeable characters, and Reese Witherspoon is not bad either. The chemistry between them works great, so, apart from a few digital mistakes and boring scenes, I had a pretty good time, knowing that it is a predictable and essentially undemanding nonsense.

Tired, unfunny, annoying, something that actually only amused me with the (relatively) long one-take scene where Tom Hardy and Chris Pine install bugs in Reese Witherspoon's apartment. Otherwise, it was a pretty colourful mess in places.

Two friends who are actually super secret agents are absolutely perfect in action. Like two brothers who understand each other without having to say anything. What one does, the other is already prepared for. The action is one thing. But they are up against Tila Schweiger, who is certainly not easy to catch and who also proves that he simply doesn't get the roles he deserves in Hollywood. He plays a villain who doesn't excel in anything and not playing him, Schweiger doesn't excel at all. Chris Pine and Tom Hardy as a pair of agents are not bad at all, but instead of the latest film by director McG being action-packed, it is mainly a comedy, which is not that funny. It works for Pine and Hardy, but as soon as we find out that the war is happening because both start dating a woman who also has the face of Reese Witherspoon, everything interesting disappears. Those two mess around, fooling around to get that desirable woman. In the end, however, they make up, become best friends, everything turns out well, the action is boring, and they have to be saved by a woman who seems practical as a cubic wheel at first sight. McG didn't go overboard, you'll have fun, but it's cheap, without any significant idea or moments that would truly blow you away.

Practically nothing about this movie works. I like the three lead actors, but they are drowning in uninteresting dialogues, sloppy screenplay and the overall cheap feel of the movie. Maybe it was supposed to be an action comedy, but there is very little comedy and it’s entirely lacking in action scenes. Most importantly, the character of the villain is completely irrelevant for the story. It's a shame, this could have been a fun easy watch. What you get instead is just a crashing bore.
