This Means War stars Reese Witherspoon as the lucky lady being courted by two super cute spies. Of course Reese’s character, Lauren thinks she’s just dating two super cute guys.

Commentary – The Vow

Commentary – The Adventures of Tintin
I took my normally attentive 5 year-old niece and 9 year-old nephew to see this animated (performance motion caption) highly anticipated movie, and I don't know which one of us was more restless.
