A dating fantasy for girls and an action bromance for guys, This Means War wins the Valentine date crowd in swoops and strokes, but does it lead to swoons? Not really.

New York Magazine (Vulture)
The gut-whomping, high-concept romantic thriller This Means War is not a distinguished addition to director McG's oeuvre.

Slant Magazine
This Means War seems so concerned with being the best product, it doesn't even know how to be good trash.

Los Angeles Times
If you can get past the gross invasion of privacy issues that would exist if this were real life and not just a frothy confection, what you have is some bittersweet fun peppered by bursts of sharp patter, the best between the boys.

Variety
This screwball premise lives or dies by the chemistry between Pine and Hardy, who are too busy trying to out-appeal one another to make the buddy dynamic click.

Village Voice
The cocky presumption of charm that isn't actually there is precisely the problem with action-comedy This Means War.

New York Daily News
"War" is depressingly mean-spirited.

Charmless and histrionic, this mean-spirited movie takes place in the toyscape of McG (Charlie's Angels), a monomonikered director who makes Michael Bay seem thoughtful.
