Review of Friends with Benefits (2011) by Dylan D — 08 Sep 2013
Friends with Benefits is definitely the surprise Romantic Comedy movie of the past few years. Finally, a genre picture knowingly and joyfully both eschews and embraces cliché, exploring relationships through the prisms of reality and movie magic, friends and sex, business and pleasure, and life and love, all without becoming a jumbled, incoherent mess.
On the contrary, this is a wonderfully breezy but at the same time thematically complex picture. It's as smart as it is sexy, as structurally sound as it is genuinely funny. The leads are fantastic, and the script and direction are almost equally impressive.
