Rating: 6/10 (2 July 2011)

Occasionally, Adam and Emma cross paths. When he discovers that an ex-girlfriend is living with his dad, he gets drunk, calls every woman in his cell phone contact list, and ends up passed out naked in her living room.
By this time, she's a medical resident in L.A. and he's a gopher on a TV series, hoping to be a writer.
She guards her emotions, so after a quickie in the moments she has before leaving for the hospital, she asks if he wants a no-strings-attached, sex-only relationship, without romance or complications....
Wasn't expecting much from this, even though it's Reitman, as soon as I saw the premise, i knew it would feature...
A male friend of Portmans telling Kutcher that they are better husband material,
the token gay man,
A 'personal' scene for the ladies,
A seasoned actor looking embarrassed,
the other, uglier woman,
his friends, who are real men,
These were all featured and didn't fail to be how they are in every film released like this.
It seemed so familiar, that i swore i was watching a sequel.
It's harmless enough, but straight from the beginning, you know what is going to happen. Kutcher and Portman have enough chemistry to just about pull it from mediocrity, but Reitman should have pulled his finger out and looked back at his movies that were funny.
