This Means War
Rated: PG-13
This Means War is an action comedy about two CIA agent best friends (Chris Pine and Tom Hardy) doing what they are trained to do: fight. The twist? Instead of fighting to prevent nuclear war, they are warring over a woman. Reese Witherspoon plays the irresistible blond, with Chelsea Handler as her hilarious best friend. This movie is for those in the pseudo-friend zone. Nothing serious or too heavy, this movie combines action, comedy and even a little romance to provide the perfect opportunity for you to make a move. Who knows – maybe your hilarious new inside jokes will move you two out of the undefined zone…and make it Facebook-Official.

The Vow
Rated: PG-13
The Vow is a romance about a love that is stronger than hardship. Sound cheesy? It’s based on a true story. This movie, starring Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum , is about a car crash that sends McAdams into a comma, altering her memory so that when she wakes, she doesn’t remember her husband. The rest of the movie follows Tatum’s commitment to the vow “to death do us part”, as he tries to get McAdams to fall in love with him all over again. Sappy, romantic, and filled with heart-wrenching moments, this movie is sure to be a hit with those single girls who may just be a little bit desperate this Valentine’s Day. Go see this with your girlfriends, a box of tissues, and a big bag of chocolate that you will soon regret eating.
