A comedy like all the rest, but still fun.

Rating: 6/10 (23 August 2011)

Who doesn't love Mila Kunis? Not many people! She's so compulsively watchable that it's hard to think of an actress more popular with males AND females at the moment. Her teaming up with JT makes Friends With Benefits everything No Strings Attached wasn't. Obviously the two films have the same plot line, there are a few bits and pieces which are different but all in all pretty much the same, the characters in this film are so much more fun, sexy and worth your time.
There's a bit more raunch in this movie which I think adds a lot to the plot, the fact that the characters actually do seem like friends is definitely a plus for this movie, for me the chemistry between Mila and JT is electric.
Full props to Justin Timberlake too, he gets better and better with each film, he has made the transition from music to film quite well. Patricia Clarkson is divine as usual, I take it that she's a friend of the director, now being in 2 of his films, the other being Easy A, she is fantastic in these wacky parent roles. Speaking of Easy A, Emma Stone's cameo at the beginning of the film is priceless...... I was on the ground in stitches, I've been yelling "John F**kin Mayer" at random times ever since. Love Emma Stone!!!!!!!!!!
In closing, Friends With Benefits is a fun romp to be had with friends or your partner, it towers over NSA in spades. Well worth the price of admission. :)
