Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hardy and Chris Pine in 'This Means War.'

20th Century Fox

A trio of appealing actors (Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hardy and Chris Pine) is trapped in an action-spiked romcom (the guys are CIA agents vying for the same cute product analyzer) death-sentenced by a lack of humor, heart and a coherent reason for being. I could say more, but do I really need to?

“He Will Break Your Heart”

A lightly swinging Latin-influenced, almost cha-cha groove and close harmonies decorated Jerry Butler's early soul hit "He Will Break Your Heart," delivering a stately warning that his rival would never love his girl like he did. The melody came to Butler as he was driving on the highway from Atlantic City, New Jersey, to Philadelphia with Curtis Mayfield, and as Butler told Rolling Stone, "I just sang the melody and Curtis put the chords to it." The song's premise, Butler added, "was something that I'd lived ...The lyric was an experience rather than a revelation. Whereas music is usually a revelation."
