Excuse us while we just take a moment to calm down. Tom Hardy. Chris Pine. In suits. Jumping out of helicopters and fighting like some kind of buff superheroes, protecting the world using the pure power of their beautiful faces. And all for the affections of one girl. We’re slightly concerned that the folks at Fox have crept into our bedrooms and found a cutting-edge, technological way of siphoning off our dreams, to create blockbuster movie ideas. (Because that type of things totally happens… probably).
There’s one tiny glitch in this theory though. The girl they’re fighting over is Reese Witherspoon and not us. The casting team clearly didn’t see us starring in our school play as ‘Uncle with moustache’ – we were definitely Oscar-standard.
So how did Reese land herself in such a taxing position? Well, when she started dating two CIA agents (yes, that’s where Tom and Chris come in, so to speak), who find out they’re being two-timed. Instead of going all, well, CIA, and arresting the greedy girl though, the pair declare a dating war on each other.
There’s not really much to dislike about this trailer (unless you have an aversion to incredibly fit men), other than the leading lady whining, “I feel weird about dating two guys at once.” Oh, Reese… Get. Over. It. If it’s that big a deal, we are available at very short notice to play piggy-in-the-middle to Tom and Chris. When we’re not busy dreaming about Ryan Gosling lounging about on a beach naked, that is… *crosses fingers they make this dream into a film too*
