Just another forgettably formulaic romantic comedy

Rating: Null/10 (27 August 2011)

This film is about a top magazine executive and a beautiful headhunter being best friends, with added benefits of being purely physical without being emotional.
"Friends with Benefits" looks promising in the beginning. It's fast paced and does not drag around. It has loads of eye candies from the two attractive leads. However, things start to deteriorate in the middle of the film. It descends into being just another forgettably formulaic romantic comedy. It drags on and on, trying to get serious with the emotional side and worst of all it delivers no eye candy. I just got bored. Woody Harrelson's attempt of acting a gay character is not so convincing either. I keep thinking that it is a role perfect for Stanley Tucci.
