Review of Friends with Benefits (2011) by Buggy B — 10 Jan 2014

I found this movie super annoying initially and almost shut it off. It started to grow on me at about the half-way mark though when family members were introduced to the storyline and after I'd acclimatised to the insistent, trying too hard to be funny, ongoing & going dialogue -mostly spouted from Mila Kunis. It's a predictable rom-com with a predictable storyline (didn't I see this already in No Strings Attached?) even though it tries not to go that route. Woody Harrelson is funny as the gay sports writer and I enjoyed (Richard Jenkins) as Justin Timberlake's father. 10.13.

"Jamie (Mila Kunis) and Dylan (Justin Timberlake) attempt to have strictly physical relationship only to (shockingly) find it difficult to keep their emotions at bay.".
