There was something missing...

Rating: 4/10 (2 September 2011)

This is basically your typical run-of-the-mill romantic comedies. There is nothing innovating or new to be seen or experienced throughout the course of this movie, and that makes the movie experience less than adequate.
The story in "No Strings Attached" is as oh-so-many other romantic comedies; a guy and a girl from two very different aspects of life come together and find love. But of course, the budding love is not to be had that easily, they have to overcome the obstacle between them and true bliss. Sounds familiar? Yeah, it does, doesn't it?
As for the acting in the movie, then they had managed to put together a good enough ensemble of people. However, there wasn't really much working chemistry between Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher on the screen, and it didn't work all that well in favor of the movie. It was a shame that Cary Elwes only had such a small role in the movie, and I would have liked to seen more of Kevin Kline.
This movie may be well worth your time if you are a big fan of these "off the assembly line" romantic comedies. But, personally, then I was a bit bored and not thoroughly entertained with the movie. There are far better romantic comedies available. And as for being a comedy? Well the movie failed to make me laugh even a single time.
