Entertaining...

Rating: 6/10 (20 September 2011)

'Friends with Benefits' is an entertaining romantic-comedy, that offers enough moments to earn itself a viewing. A Good Effort!
'Friends with Benefits' Synopsis: While trying to avoid the clichés of Hollywood comedies, Dylan & Jamie soon discover however that adding the act of sex to their friendship, does lead to complications.
This Recent Surprise Hit works. 'No Strings Attached' & 'Friends with Benefits' have a similar plot, But, the storytelling & the execution are diverse from each-other. They are Two Different Films completely. The Screenplay is lively, funny & engaging. Sure, it does slip in the middle, but in totality, it gets it right. Will Gluck's Direction is decent. Cinematography & Editing, are fair.
Performance-Wise: Justin Timberlake & Mila Kunis deliver interesting performances. Their on-screen, works as well. Woody Harrelson is superb, as always. Patricia Clarkson & Richard Jenkins are decent. Emma Stone is terrific in a brief cameo.
On the whole, A Pleasant Romantic-Comedy, that deserves a watch.
