"Sweet, funny, romantic, and not nearly as post-modern as it pretends to be, Friends With Benefits has everything you'd expect from an R-rated romantic comedy in the 21st Century -- but not any more than that. Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake are smoothly convincing as a couple who initially resist their deep-seated attraction to one another, cracking a steady stream of jokes and looking very enticing in their underwear. The supporting cast features the likes of Patricia Clarkson and Richard Jenkins, who always brighten up a movie. And director Will Gluck (Easy A) keeps the action popping until the more serious consequences kick in." ~ Peter Martin, twitchfilm.com
General Movie Info: Genre: Comedy, Romance Plot: Two friends try to add casual sex to their friendship. Rated: R
My Thoughts:
If you are expecting a great top-notch movie you will be disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the movie was good and keep me entertained but this type of "love" story has been told many times before and this version didn't add anything new. But if you are looking for a light-hearted romantic comedy this movie will keep you entertained with occasional laughs. (I did find Timberlake's running joke about landing airplanes funny.)
