My Review-

First this movie would have been a whole lot better, if Chelsea Handler was not in the movie, shes not funny and she cannot act. Aside from that the movie was okay, it was not all that I thought it would be, the acting was not to bad both of the actors Hardy and Pine had good chemistry playing best friends going after the same girl. What would have worked a little more is if it was a different actress since she does mostly drama and not a lot of comedy she did not do so well in this movie. At times the movie did seem a bit boring that was mostly the scenes with Handler and Witherspoon, the scenes with them were not that good or funny, the scenes with Hardy and Pine made up for that. Hardy was once somewhat of a badass, not as much as he could have been, but he was one when he wanted too, along with Pine he could a little more better then he was in the film, it seemed like him playing Captain Kirk is better. However these two do make a good team and I would like to see them do another movie again one of these days. The movie also showed that if you work for the government you can use all the toys you work with for your own personal use, which is pretty cool. this movie would have also been better if there was a lot more action in it, I feel that's what it need more of was action. I think its the comedy that saved this movie for me, and not the romantic story line between the three central characters.
