help This Means War FAQ
Who plays the two CIA agents fighting over Reese Witherspoon in This Means War?
Chris Pine plays FDR and Tom Hardy plays Tuck, two operatives who discover they're dating the same woman, Lauren, played by Reese Witherspoon. The film was directed by McG, who previously helmed Charlie's Angels and Terminator Salvation.
Who does Lauren end up choosing at the end of This Means War?
Lauren chooses FDR, Chris Pine's character, in the finale. The film lets the two agents patch up their friendship rather than ending on a bitter note.
Why did Tom Hardy, of all people, star in a romantic comedy in 2012?
It was a strikingly commercial choice for Hardy, arriving between his grittier work in Warrior (2011) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). He has since acknowledged in interviews that he took it partly as a deliberate move into broader mainstream material.
Was This Means War a box office hit?
It grossed over $150 million worldwide against a reported budget in the mid-$60-million range, so it performed decently if unspectacularly. Critics were largely mixed-to-negative, though the Pine-Hardy pairing was often singled out.
