I wish this was a problem I had....

Rating: 7/10 (5 July 2020)

Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.
Having just watch "Friends with Benefits" this feels like a drastically different movie: mostly on the basis that this is more about a neurotic woman's control issues extending into the fear of rejection and emotional pain. Not that it's wrong to be guarded in her manner, it's just that is what you call that.
Now, I've basically been in love with Natalie Portman since "Leon: The Professional", and have only liked Ashton Kutcher in "Butterfly Effect" (wildly polarized opinions on the movie) and "A Lot Like Love" (I hate baseball, and only seem to really like Amanda Peet in baseball themed video), so I had to ignore just being angry at him most of the movie.
The other significant difference between "Friends with Benefits" is that this has an amazing supporting cast, and a story past "my crazy dad". And in that support cast, there are examples of different types of women (and men) archetypes. Greta Gerwig was basically (eventually) the perfect woman, very appreciated, where Lake Bell was appreciative, but with "quirks", and either would have fine women / options if the world actually worked like that so reciprocate that appreciation if you have it.
But, of course, the story focuses on emotionally elusive control freak, and I'll admit a certain appeal to that. And the independent part of that is the appealing part, but how that character became an (almost) doctor and has it together is by avoiding the problems that she's having with Adam, and that only works so far when it's already there, which is what most of the movie is about: a woman being emotionally brave (there is no bravery without fear), and even thought it seems to be told from Adam's perspective (mostly), he doesn't have much going on other than sexing Emma in terms of adversity. The one thing that happens is quickly resolved because someone else wants to sex him, where as she is in a continuous state of confrontation.
While both movies have this light hearted air to them about the complexities of relationships "Friends with Benefits" almost seems cute compared to the adventures of this movie. Not everyone is going to deep dive on a movie like I will though, so I can't say this is a wildly great movie: it's still about pretty people having sex and complaining about it, so it loses some of the steam there.
