Review of Friends (With Benefits) (2010) by Christian B — 30 Dec 2012

Friends with Benefits is about an internet blogger named Dylan Harper (Justin Timberlake), and a recruiter named Jamie Rellis (Mila Kunis), who enter each others lives through business. Jamie fly's Dylan out to New York City in an attempt to recruit him to the company. Dylan accepts and moves out to New York. As time goes on, Dylan and Jamie get to know each other better and better and quickly become very close friends. One night they get into a discussion about how they both want a relationship with no strings attached, but is nothing but sex. This leads to them to begin sleeping together, as they agree "no emotions. Just sex". As time goes on, they break off there casual sexual relationships and try to be simply best friends and date other people. They quickly notice that they have both developed feelings for each other.

This movie is pretty good. The film is intelligent, attractive, and a very accurate depiction of relationships and dating in today's society. The film gets two of the most attractive celebrities in Timberlake, and Kunis, to portray and unusual, and sexy love story. In my honest opinion, the film is very predictable. Just from reading the title you can predict exactly whats going to happen. Two friends, have casual sex, and develop feelings for one another and fall in love. Even so, this film is something different than the prototypical "chick flick". A solid film, but I think it had the potential to be more. I was expecting much more from the film than it had.
