No Strings Attached- Cut the Nonsense **

Rating: 4/10 (8 January 2014)

The problem with this 2011 film that I see is with the writing. Would you want a doctor-to-be such as Natalie Portman portrays in this film? She is a sex-driven character who has known the Ashton Kutcher character from childhood at certain interludes of their life. Imagine saying to Kutcher when they're young adults: Come with me tomorrow. Tomorrow is the place where she brings Kutcher to her father's funeral.
Portman is almost churlish in her performance. She also has a dragging craggy-like voice which can become annoying at times. The lady is a whiner in every sense of the word.
Kevin Kline, who portrays Kutcher's father in the film, has the best line at picture's end when he describes to his son, while hospitalized, how we fall in love.
They call these things romantic comedy. To me, it's nothing more than romantic nonsense with 2 young adults determining that their relationship shall be for physical use only. The premise here is ridiculous.
