Awesome soundtrack
This was a very 21st century movie. It seemed like it was trying toohard to avoid being cliché, but it just ended up being cliché with atwist. It was enjoyable to watch, and fun to see Justin Timberlake andMila Kunis in action. Above all, the soundtrack is awesome; just likethe movie hints. The good thing about this movie that stands outagainst the rest of its kind is that there's more to it than the titleimplies. Most people have to learn the hard way in life; few savethemselves in time. The ending credits were so much fun that I had tosit until the very end. They did a great job on this movie. Fewromantic comedies nowadays have as much creativity as this movie does.

Most unnatural play ever
I have been a member on IMDb for almost 10 years and never wrote areview. This film made me so shocked that I came here just tow writethis review.This has been one of the few most unnatural films I have seen. Thestory line, the way they act, the way they talk, and almost everythingelse seems strange.The 2 main actors talk loud like they are performing in a theater. Thestory is full of strange things. The guy is supposedly working in webbusiness (my field for almost 20 years), yet it does not make any senseto me. You gather 20 colleagues to select a photo for your website?

Pleasantly surprised at the chemistry and comedy
Without specific spoilers I'll tell you this: the end isn't a shocker,however I was pleasantly surprised over all.A friend's girl brought this over for movie night, and I'm alwaysinterested in something new. I thought the story line was cute and welllaid out. The movie moves along quickly and provides some good comedy.Patricia Clarkson as the loopy, liberal mom is always good for agiggle. What surprised me was the chemistry between Mila and Justin.They played off of each other very well matching energies and providinga very believable non-couple.As others have mentioned this is similar to a handful of movies thathave come out recently in basic plot, no dating- just sex. To be honestI'm really not surprised the current 20-30 set is the result of thedivorces of the 80's and 90's. Which - in my circle - has led to morethan a few commitment shy adults who wouldn't mind this set-up.The movie is true to current culture in that aspect and offers a funride while telling what turns out to be a very sweet story.

A Nutshell Review: Friends with Benefits
2011 will probably go down as the year Hollywood tells us having F*buddies is OK and encouraged, with no less than three films this yearset around the premise of pure sex without strings or emotionsattached, with Love and Other Drugs and No Strings Attached setting theprecedence earlier with an incredibly good looking cast in all sorts ofundress - Anne Hathaway, Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman and AshtonKutcher - and added to the list will be current IT guy and girl JustinTimberlake and Mila Kunis rolling beneath the sheets in a typical lovestory between the emotionally unavailable and the emotionally damaged.Mila Kunis stars as Jamie, a headhunter in New York who persuades hertarget Dylan played by Justin Timberlake to ditch his young, upstartblogging team to join GQ (how's that for a little bit of subtleadvertising) in revamping its website and to infuse new content ideas.A night out prior to the offer seals the LA based Dylan to relocate andtake up the offer, with plenty of activities thrown in that if it's notJamie being his only friend in a new, big city, they would serve asactivities that would fit in for an awesome date night out. Before longthey become firm friends, and made a pact to keep things physical sincethey each have their wants, and with the other party game to get downand dirty, so begins their game of tennis (though personally I preferanalogy with, and the term "bedminton" - it involves cocks after all).After all, why complicate what would be a beautiful friendship, if sexcan be treated just as sex without the emotions thrown in to messthings up?You know the clichéd drill by now, with things moving along fine anddandy, the hint of emotions coming into play to really turn thingsupside down, the narrative montage to show how frequent they mate likejackrabbits, before some large, needy episode or statements utteredthat will probably reveal the true state of affairs, and the list goeson. Deny all you want, but one cannot help but to agree that the fairersex will have things rough if pacts of this nature turn sour, andexpectedly in a movie they always do, otherwise everyone will be happywithout adversary, frustration and challenges to overcome and providethat change in strength of character.And it is this power of the cliché that absolutely calls the shots infilms like these. You know what will happen, but want to see themhappen anyway even though you're multiple steps ahead of everycharacter. And it is precisely these expectations that anyone wouldwant to see covered, and try as the filmmakers want it is the clichésthat they find hard to break away from, even if characters hereproclaim very early on that romance in their world shouldn't be like anunbelievable Hollywood film, but in what would be art imitating art,look who's talking to begin with. And what's with the fixation aboutconsistently taking the shine off the captain of US Airways Flight 1549in its emergency landing onto the Hudson River?Justin Timberlake is fast becoming the busy bona fide movie star sinceThe Social Network, and continues his run with this film and In Timewhich will hit the screens here soon. He has that boyish charm that thecamera just loves, and being a real life singer meant covering a numberof songs here, from Stereophonics to Kris Kross made it look all tooeasy. Mila Kunis plays her role as the emotionally damaged girl withaplomb, and shares an effective chemistry with Timberlake that makesthis film a delight to sit through, even if as mentioned the story'scliché and we know just about how these two nice looking people willlikely get together. The supporting characters while one dimensional almost always threatento steal the show, from Patricia Clarkson as Jamie's sex crazed momextending the lifespan of a running joke involving the nationality ofJamie's unseen dad, Woody Harrelson as the gay colleague of Dylan whoalways have innuendos offhand to share, Jenna Elfman who plays Dylan'ssister and Richard Jenkins starring as Dylan's dad who's suffering fromadvancing Alzheimer's disease, which is especially poignant as it dealswith the subplot of how a family copes with a loved one who's behaviourdevelops erratically, and holding the key to a pivotal personalexperience to share and turn things around.With Andy Samberg and Emma Stone making cameos (the latter beingextremely crazy as a fanatical John Meyer fan), Friends With Benefitshas its main leads to thank for in milking quite the cliché story forthe masses, who are likely to make a beeline just to see those two insome down and dirty action, not that you get to see a lot to begin withanyway. Recommended, and stay tuned until after the end credits rollfor more commentary when the two are sitting at a couch watching theouttakes of a DVD movie.

Great Surprise
Witty dialogue mixes with attractive people giving solid performances. Of course u know what's going to happen at the end but remarkably, this intelligently written film makes the entire journey worthwhile enough to buy the DVD. Great look at my old hometown NYC. Timberlake continues to convince he's a serious actor, Kunis is always delightful and the viewer gets an eyeful of her small and shapely behind au naturale, as well as her ability to stay the course and entertain as an actress portraying the "modern" girl struggling to overcome "what happens naturally."I thought the inclusion of Timberlake's character's father as suffering form the onset of Alzeimers laudable, and Justin doesn't overplay the part emotionally, which was a relief in a Hollywood thats normally eager to let sobs and tears act as the panacea for dealing with all life's emotional issues. I felt Woody Harrelson's character - not his acting - was annoying in that it's becoming so de rigeur for Hollywood to pat-on-the-back every man obsessed with other men's genitals. This MUST BE APPLAUDED BY US ALL, or you are a primitive, horrible person (whose name will soon be on some government list, no doubt) with no understanding of our human diversity. Harrelson's character dutifully fulfills his self-acceptance as a gay man by continuing to let everyone know he is not ashamed of it, as we - the audience - are culturally trained to accept and applaud.

Laugh out loud funny
It's not a smart movie, but it's damned funny. Like, laugh out loud during every scene funny. I can totally relate to Jamie and her crazy life. Total guilty pleasure movie.

Better than average
This review is from: Friends With Benefits (Amazon Instant Video) Much better than your average chick flick. Justin and Mila are absolutely adorable. The movie opens with Mila waiting for her boyfriend at the theater to see Pretty Women, fairy tale of the 90s. The story line here makes for a great fairy tale of today. But perhaps the best thing about the movie is the sound track. I'm pretty sure they stole the play list off my DROID2.

Not as "love-less" as I expected, in fact a pretty good story.
I have a friend, a 50-ish lady, who not long ago described herrelationship with a certain man as "we are friends, with benefits."Honestly I had never heard it described that way, but she explained it.Then this movie came out and I was leery. But then we saw it, and bothmy wife and I thought it is pretty good. The dialog is snappy and ringstrue, and the two leads are quite good and convincing.Justin Timberlake is Dylan Harper, a hot-shot West Coast editor on aweb-based publication, and gets offered an interview trip to New York,for the job as editor for GQ Magazine. He says he is just going for thetrip, but things develop.Mila Kunis is the headhunter, Jamie Rellis. She meets him at theairport, and when he balks at considering the job she tells him, "I amnot going to try to sell you on the job, I'm going to sell you on NewYork." She succeeds, he moves to the City, the two of them arenaturally relaxed and fun together, and become best friends.Then, just bantering one day one of them suggests, why go without sexwhile we are both between relationships, let's just do it, with nostrings attached, and it will be like playing tennis. When it is overwe shake hands and say see you around.Of course if that had worked then there wouldn't be much of a moviepast that point. It gets romantically complicated when they both beginto have deeper feelings for each other and at the same time deny thosefeelings.Three other characters add greatly to the enjoyment of the movie.Patricia Clarkson is Jamie's wild and loose mother, who shows upwithout notice, and at least once Jamie and Dylan are in bed, nakedwhen she walks in.Old reliable Richard Jenkins is Dylan's dad, with early onset ofdementia. Sometimes he just takes off his pants, in public, because hegets tired of wearing them. But in the end he gives his son the keyadvice, if you think she even might be the one, go after her. Life isshort.And Woody Harrelson is Tommy Bollinger, the openly gay sports editor.He plays the part perfectly.A fun, entertaining movie, but for adults.

Mila & Justin have some great chemistry, get naked a lot and have lots of sex... do I have your attention now?
This one doesn't exactly have much of a premise to work on, hell thetitle alone tells you what the movie is all about. What I love aboutall the new age romantic comedies coming out lately (Going theDistance, No Strings Attached) is that the filmmakers are focusing moreon the comedy part than the adjective preceding it. Not that what someof the characters do in the film isn't sweet, it's just not going tomake your girl weak in the knees, swoon and start booking fittings forher wedding dress.Dylan (Timberlake) is a Los Angeles-based website designer. He's gothis small little site, blog and staff (6 million hits last month, thankyou very much) but he's got relationship problems. He's emotionallyunavailable. Jamie (Kunis) is a New York businesswoman, a headhunter(an overly aggressive talent scout that recognizes talent and drives ahard bargain) and relationship killer. She's emotionally damaged.After a quick meet cute at the airport, Jamie tries to convince Dylanthat New York is the place for him to be and GQ should be the companyhe's destined to work for. After some funny montage moments involvingparties, harmless pranks and late-night lattes, we get the idea thatthey're just friends, nothing more. One night, while drinking (natch)and watching a heavily clichéd romantic comedy entitled I Love You, ILove New York (or something cheesy like that -- starring Jason Segeland Rashida Jones), Dylan comes up with the bright idea that theyshould have the sex without all the BS that comes with it. So, Jamiepulls out her iPad with a Bible app and they make a holy pact. Whatcomes next is, without a doubt, one of the funniest sex scenes evercaptured on film.Treating sex like it's a business transaction comes easy at first, butonce they do the dirty deed (many times), the film never quite finisheswhat it started. At first, the movie was wild, it was frantic,everything moved with solid quick edits and then slowly started tomorph into the cheesy clichéd romantic comedy that they were making funof not 45 minutes ago. The director's last feature (Easy A) moved sofast, it makes the second half of this one look like it's standingstill. But, it's not all bad, because it shows some presence of heartin the story and as we all know, those are the moments where oursignificant others give us the best cuddles.Don't get me wrong, I liked Friends With Benefits just fine. I justwish there were less heart in the second half, I know it soundscynical, but it's more true to life, I'm afraid. And, of course, itdoesn't make for much of a story if the screenwriters made thecharacters bastards, that's for sure. Justin and Mila have someexcellent chemistry in the film and I was totally sold on the idea ofthem as best friends. Sure, they make a very pretty couple, but theirinteractions, mannerisms and dialog made me envious of theirfriendship, not their sexual encounters. I enjoyed Justin Timberlake'sperformance in this movie more than I did in Bad Teacher. This is theTimberlake that hosted all of those good SNL shows. This is theTimberlake we all want to see.The supporting cast is nothing short of fantastic in the film. FromPatricia Clarkson as Jamie's flighty mother, Richard Jenkins as Dylan'sfather who is struggling with Alzheimer's, Jenna Elfman as Dylan'ssister to Woody Harrelson as the gay sports editor who works for Dylanover at GQ. All of their scenes work, they are not overused and I foundmyself laughing more often than not when they gave their advice on howDylan and Jamie should handle their situation or to just add their owntwo cents of wit and banter. Watch for Shaun White to pop up (twice,actually) and deliver some WTF comments. Gold.To sum it all up, the film as a whole is very good. It works, it'sfunny and it's believable. It's got a great cast, witty dialog andsomewhat solid story. It starts out briskly-paced (like the hare), butloses some of it's vigor and only barely limps across the finishline...no, not like the tortoise... more like a marathon runner with abad sprain.More reviews at www.soveryterry.com Final Grade: B

A Harmless and Generic, But Undeniably Charming, Romantic-Comedy
Friends with Benefits is the second romantic-comedy of 2011 to cover the topic of the title and is directed and co-written by Will Gluck, whose previous film Easy A was a charming and genuinely funny high-school movie that pushed Emma Stone into the big leagues overnight. Debuting in theatres only six months after the Ivan Reitman's No Strings Attached, both movies deal with the subject of young characters wanting to enjoy a sexual relationship without any emotional attachment or commitment. Comparing and contrasting the two are inevitable. There's no denying that both films are similar and coincidentally the female leads in the separate films are played by Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, co-stars in last year's Black Swan. The similarities are a forgivable transgression since every rom-com that comes out of Hollywood is essentially cut from the same cloth anyway. So, in case the plot isn't completely obvious from the title, here's the synopsis:In Los Angeles, Dylan (Justin Timberlake) is dumped by his girlfriend (a brief appearance by Emma Stone) because he's "emotionally unavailable." In New York, Jamie (Mila Kunis) is dumped by her boyfriend (Andy Samberg) because she's "emotionally damaged." Soon after, Dylan is on a flight to New York where Jamie, an Executive Recruiter, has secured a job interview for him at GQ. Dylan accepts the job and quickly becomes friends with Jamie. One night the two launch into a diatribe about how sex is necessary but seemingly impossible without emotional involvement. The two come to a mutual conclusion and make a deal; they will have sex with each other with no commitment, just as friends. You can imagine where the story goes from here. The film boasts an impressive cast that includes Woody Harrelson as Tommy, a gay sports editor for GQ as well as Richard Jenkins, Patricia Clarkson, and Jenna Elfman. There are also cameo appearances by Jason Segel, Rashida Jones, and Shaun White. Being released in such close proximity with each other, comparisons between this and No Strings Attached are inevitable. Having seen both movies, I give this one the upper hand. Neither makes any profound statements about relationships or sex, neither are great movies, but Friends with Benefits has more going for it than No Strings Attached, beginning with the chemistry between the two leads. Timberlake and Kunis have far more convincing and striking chemistry than Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher possibly due to Gluck working with Timberlake and Kunis to help shape the characters and the script. Putting more work into this kind of film than necessary, this effort does not go unnoticed onscreen. Romantic comedies live and die by the chemistry shared by the two leads and Timberlake and Kunis have chemistry in spades. They are effortlessly charming with one another and skillfully play off each other's comedic strengths. I was immensely impressed by Timberlake's performance in The Social Network, but found myself underwhelmed by his awkward performance in Bad Teacher. He redeems himself here with his boyish charm and wit. It's easy to accept him as the successful, sensitive young man he portrays. Harrelson's flamboyant and plain-spoken gay character provides some laughs, but the joke is dragged out longer than necessary. Clarkson, a tremendous actress, brings a quirky sense of humor to her part, although the personality of her character isn't too far separated from her character in Easy A. I'd guess that the character was adjusted to suit her simply because Gluck enjoyed working with her previously. Clarkson and Harrelson do not elevate the material, but they do make it a little livelier.Friends with Benefits doesn't push the romantic comedy genre too far from its comfort zone. The studio allowed it to be rated R and, with this subject matter, I respect the decision to not cop out with a PG-13. Even with the rating, the sex talk is much more graphic than the sex actually portrayed onscreen. If you take any PG-13 Hollywood romantic comedy and add some dry humping, you'll end up with Friends with Benefits. If Gluck really wanted people to differentiate between his film and Reitman's, he could've been a little more fearless in what he chose to show. The most maddening thing about the movie is that characters openly discuss how every romantic-comedy is the same, following the same meet, fall in love, break up, and get back together pattern. They even discuss the way these films use obnoxiously obvious musical cues to illustrate the tone of a particular scene. Despite how self-aware this movie seems to be, it ends up doing the same thing by following the exact same template. Granted, Friends with Benefits does try to get a bit more serious by introducing a dramatic subplot about Dylan's father (Jenkins) suffering from Alzheimer's and with an actor as capable as Jenkins this subplot is more effective than it should be, but it neither adds to the film nor takes away from it. The dramatic, medical disorder angle worked much better in Love and Other Drugs. It's totally generic, but has enough charm and wit to keep your attention. There are so many movies like this released each year and such light, forgettable fluff can never be criticized too harshly. I admit to having a soft spot for even the most forgettable romantic comedies, so please read my words with caution. Friends with Benefits is neither a great romantic comedy nor a particularly memorable one, but the charisma of the two leads and the existence of real talent in front of and behind the camera make it worth watching to some degree. It's sappy, clichéd, and far from surprising but it put a big, stupid smile on my face and I couldn't have asked a movie like this for anything more.GRADE: B

Boring, incredibly shallow.
Justin is a usual bore and Mila is plain annoying, with plenty of sarcastic, dry banter that's not really funny. The plot is very shallow and contrived, and it feels like the movie was sort of done for the heck of it and nobody really gave too much cr@p. Boring!

Guilty Pleasure to Watch Alone
This review is from: Friends With Benefits (Amazon Instant Video) I know this movie seems idiotic on its face. Its the kind of movie you feel funny to be seen renting if you are out of your 20's. HOWEVER, disregard all that if you are a woman. I REALLY enjoyed this movie. Its a fast paced funny modern "romp" as the critics used to say. AND lots of nice views of JT.
boondocksaints 30 April 2012
it's so so
I don't particularly like Justin Timberlake or Mila Kunis...but I gave it a chance. It was ok...kinda funny. I thought some of it was a lil boring. But I LOVED Woody Harleson!! To me he stole the show! He was very funny...shame he wasn't in it alot.

449th Review: At best when sparking...
FWB tries to be a pastiche of romantic movies and, inevitably, ends upbeing exactly what it's sending up.THe first 25 minutes are simply excellent - witty, fast, furious, andfun. However, it totally runs into cliché territory and not in a goodway.There is plenty of spark between the leads and a great supporting cast,but not even they can rescue this by the end. It is harmless and goodfun, but given the excellent promise of the first half hour you areleft cruelly disappointed by the end. Sure it's a romantic comedy, anda good one, but this is not as new or as innovative in any way.Enjoyable, sure, but nowhere near the promise of its excellentbeginning.
22 April 2012
Hilarious
This review is from: Friends with Benefits (+ UltraViolet Digital Copy) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) Amazing.... If you like random humor and quick comebacks this is a great movie! It made us laugh the entire time!

Not just another Rom Com
There have been several movies lately that seemed to revolve around the friends with benefits theme. It observes typical relationships today which seem to be more of the friends with benefits set up. This is generally because the two involved are either commitment shy or simply want to avoid any complications that could ruin their friendship like emotion. Oh, but emotion inevitably shows up and rears its ugly head. This movie examines all this in a fun, light and entertaining way. Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis have great chemistry as friends and you soon believe and can see them together as a romantic couple. There is quite a bit of nudity and sex so this is not for those who are easily offended by movies that harp on sex issues as this one harps on it in abundance. Overall for this genre it exceeded my expectations and did its job of entertaining. Plus how many of us have been there?
