This Means War 2012

Product Details     Lauren has moved to a new city to follow her boyfriend, she quickly finds out he was not worth the effort.  She's faced with trying to figure out how to meet someone new, her sister Trish suggests she sign up for online dating.   Trish puts outrageous information and pictures on a profile for Lauren.  Tuck puts his information on the same website and they have a first date which both enjoy.  Right after the date, Lauren meets Frank who is Tuck's best friend and working partner but she doesn't know that. 
     Now Lauren is dating two men with the full encouragement of her sister.  When Tuck and Frank find out they are both interested in Lauren, they use all their CIA agent tricks to keep track of each other and Lauren.  They agree that their friendship is over but Lauren can choose the man she feels is best for her.
     The premise is good but the execution is terrible.  I wanted to like this but it is not very funny, not very romantic, very weak and feels like everyone is just going through the motions.  Witherspoon doesn't need to do drivel like this!  3* (This movie is OK)
