Review of Friends with Benefits (2011) by Lukechristiansc — 23 Jan 2016
The film makes fun of rom-com cliche's yet the film is an entire cliche yeah I am self aware of that their gonna be together and I know how silly the formula is tiresome, but Timberlake and Kunis's chemistry works so does the R-rated humor.
Jamie (played by Mila Kunis) is a executive recruiter, who entices Dylan (Justin Timberlake) an art director from Los Angeles, to take a job at the New York office at GQ magazine. They both are tired of dating and don't want to date, they are both intimacy issues, so when they find out what they have in common so they become fast friends.
Dylan and Jamie decide to quit for true love and focus on having fun, so they become friends with benefits (title). Co-writer director Will Gluck (Easy A) makes Timberlake and Kunis sexy also makes the formulaic hot body romantic comedy fun to watch.
At times watching this film made me moan, it was so painfully predictable. But hey I enjoyed it.
