Movie writers that have never personally experienced what they are writing about, should be banned from being the script writers for a movie on that subject. The writers for This Mean War are those writers I just talked about. They have never dated, they are probably virgins and here they are, writing for a movie that is 90% about dating. That is how bad and cheesy the lines are when it came to the interaction between the girls and boys in this flic and the director had to be in a cocoon or be a virgin as well, since he did not catch the pendejadas either.
Two friends going after the same girl (Reese Witherspoon) who they barely know, except for an ad in a dating site that her friend put up and that shows her looking a little stupid anyway. Reese or any girl that looks like that needs to be on a dating website? Really? The movie already started wrong when it started with this premise. Chicanos would be all over that, at church, bingo, el carnaval or wherever. These two pendejos agree that they will see who she falls in love with and then neither one tries to give her el mero mero, instead they take her to dog shelters and to do trapeze tricks, when all she wanted was ____izo!
Her friend in the movie, played by Chelsea Handler, is as annoying as an anal itch in the movie, but at least she was trying to tell her camarada to have sex with these dudes first, she even offered to do it herself. The movie definitely had potential, but it ended up being whack. It seems the movie was being written as they filmed and they were trying to fill it in as they went. It didn’t work and Chile Dude barely gives this one chile out of five.
