What I liked:
- There is eye candy galore: Chris Pine, Tom Hardy, and Reese Witherspoon are all lovely looking.
- All three have chemistry together, especially the guys. This helps make their friendship more believable.
- Chelsea Handler was very funny.
- The story was amusing and entertaining.
- It has a decent soundtrack. I enjoyed hearing "This is How We Do It" by Montell Jordan.
- The set design for each character's home was interesting. Lots of cool artwork.
- I like that Pine's character made a reference to watching CHiPs, which stared his real life father, Robert Pine.
- There is a humorous exchange in a video store that should make any single movie lover smile.
What I didn't like:
- Pine's character's name is Franklin but everyone calls him FDR which I found annoying.
- Hardy looks so small compared to Pine. After seeing him in Warrior, I just assumed that he was a beast of a guy.
- It's hard to feel bad for anyone since they are all so pretty, rich, and successful.
- Angela Bassett - can't we find you better roles than this or this?
- So even though the premise is ridiculous, I went with it and it was pretty good up until the end when the spy nonsense just went completely off the chart.
Grade: B+
