A so so romantic comedy.

Rating: Null/10 (17 July 2011)

The first of many films Natalie Portman did in 2011 was No Strings attached, a romantic comedy with a similar premise to a film called Love and other drugs. This film stars Portman and Ashton Kutcher, and that film starred Jake Gylenhaal and Anne Hathaway, and was better. But No Strings attached isn't bad, from Romantic comedy standards.
Portman and Kutcher play old friends who bump into each other one night, and then years later do the same, and then, during one meeting, they decide to be friends with benefits(that movie will be a rip off of this one). They will have no strings attached sex. But as they start to do this, Kutcher begins falling for her, but shes not really that into him.
The two leads are likable, and the movie is cutesy in its little way. But the supporting characters are the funny thing about it. No strings attached has a couple of funny characters that make the film light up a little.
I sort of liked the movie, and compared to some other romantic comedies its decent. But it is cliché and predictable, but thats why all romantic comedies suffer. The two leads have chemistry though, and for that, you should give no strings attached a go on DVD.
