A chuckle here and there...

Rating: 6/10 (30 January 2011)

Sometimes its nice to go see a light-hearted comedy which allows you to appreciate the finer things in life, such as a chance sexual encounter with a stranger. Especially when these strangers are as attractive as our leads. This obviously isn't a film for the kids and it was vulgar to the point where some scenes came across as tacky, but either way it earned laughs and that was the point in the end. Kutcher redeemed himself with this one, he's never really been an A actor, his performances are all pretty boy with no real flare, but in this one we can actually see some depth as he deals with the ups and downs of Portman. Portman on the other hand was hysterical to say the least, she was cute and bubbly and more importantly she had fun with her role. It was challenging for me as an audience member to walk out of Black Swan with awe and such respect for this woman, and then soon after witness her talk about a period mixed cd. There wasn't anything special about the directing or the soundtrack. It's your average cookie cutter romance, they just upped the sex. I recommend it, if you want a film to pass the time, which will make you smile. Just know, that you won't leave, move or touched. You just might have a smirk on your face.
