Kutcher blows Kunis away........

Rating: 5/10 (2 November 2011)

Friends with Benefits is another of the friends-sex-drama which tries joking around the concept of friends can have non-passionate-sex, but ONLY for a stress release.
It follows up in back of other films just the same, like No Strings Attached. I'm a big fan of Kutcher, so that kind of put me in a favour-situation, but nevertheless I will be objective.
FWB starts in the funny way, meeting Dylan who tries getting settled in NY. OK, the first 30 minutes have its moments and is kind of funny. And I will not criticize the way they introduce the friend-sex-thing, it is an (if it is possible to believe) convincing dialog sequence (actually all the dialog is not that bad). The problem is that the story and jokes aren't funny. Except for the first part, I think the homosexual guy is the best thing and it ends up with that I only wait for him to say something funny. This is were I think Portman and especially Kutcher succeeded BIGtime.
Sorry Kunis, still think you are really good, but you should have stayed at That's 70s Show.
5/10
