A Great and Self Aware Rom-Com

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2014)

I might be in the minority, but I found this film an example for all romantic- comedies of the future. It has an extremely self-aware script, which follows the stereotypical romantic comedy formula while endlessly mocking it simultaneously. The chemistry between Timberlake and Mila Kunis is amazing, and is enough to carry the film at its running length.The stand-out supporting performers, however, are Woody Harrelson and Patricia Clarkson. It is a hilarious film, and is one of the few romantic films which never runs out of passion or steam. Even though it bears many similarities to films like No Strings Attached, it actually delivers on its concept better, and its much more likable.
