Disturbing yet enthralling
Brilliant and touching
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

View MoreN.Y.C. based 'headhunter' Kunis is a jaded romantic who has spent the past several months trying to recruit L.A. based art director (and equally jaded romantic) Timberlake to relocate to the east coast and take a job at GQ. Though hesitant he decides to take the job and they form a genuine friendship, that is until they decide to try and have sex with no emotional attachments-which of course never works. Snappy at first, with great dialogue, solid laughs, and some clever digs at the romantic comedy genre, but a lot of the fun drains away as it becomes more and more conventional as it nears the finale. Made worthwhile by the work of its two leads who have great chemistry and impeccable comic timing. **½
View MoreRomantic drama/comedy for teenage girls at its best. There's no much cinematography, art or depth, but it's very effective in achieving its purpose. I laughed and I cried and I could watch it again right now and I'm so sorry it is not series instead of movie. And cast is awesome. I love them all. Call me a pussy, but I'm giving it an eight out of ten.<3/10

He will not always play the flute and will be hired to play the roles of Zuckerberg's partner in 'The Social Network' or one of Nick Cassavetes's 'Alpha Dog' dealers - but there he is, with productions designed (almost) entirely he. With the right to friction is based on several formulas. The first, pure Hollywood marketing: to join in a romantic comedy to two stars or promises of fashion, Timberlake and Mila Kunis, the surprise, revelation or whatever you want of 'Black Swan', the thriller of Darren Aronofsky. The second, to resurrect for the umpteenth time, although with more sex, the old formula of the comedies with Doris Day and Rock Hudson. The third, to compose a script - part of an argument co-written by Harley Peyton, producer and screenwriter of several episodes of 'Twin Peaks', who would say it - would be applauded in some of Robert McKee's master classes, Perfectly gutted, his scenes dramatically strong - that is to say - and those of relaxation, the gags scattered in moderation - is a "serious" film about love and dislike, about sex with or without sex, about, in the Depth, the impossibility of platonic love or relationship without emotions and desires - and the two or three secondary characters incorporated by veteran actors who give brightness to the subject, but they are not totally digressions: the mother of the protagonist, a nostalgic- ____________________________________________________________________
View MoreFriends with benefits is a 2011 comedy starring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis as two friends who decide to have sexual intercourse one night and never speak about it eve again and remain friends. The film stands out as a bit of a remake of No Strings Attached(2010). I loved this movie so darn much,it was absolutely hilarious probably from that guy who the hard guy in Zombieland(2009)and also Justin Timberlake who I hate as a singer and actor,Mila Kunis was OK in this film nothing great,I think there was somebody else who should have played her but apart from that everything was great. Also,really liked Patrica Clarkson from the TV remake of Carrie in this as the mom.Friends with Benefits is a awesome comedy.
