Entertaining Adult Comedy!

Rating: 6/10 (21 January 2011)

I noticed prior to seeing this film that there was a small collection of nay sayers who just dismissed this film as cheap trash, in comparison to Natalie Portman's "Black Swan".
Well it is not "Black Swan" and it is not "Animal House" It is "No strings attached" which is a new comedy with a new brand of situations. It's awkwardness is it's strength. It is not for anyone under 17 by any means. Unless accompanied by an adult, yada yada.
I liked Ashton in it, which he made many pretty explicit type scenarios somewhat comfortable when watching IMO, which i think is his strong suite, and I also enjoy Natalie even more. So if you take a look at Today's society relationship status.. especially LA and Plug it into the Mind who created animal house such a long time ago, this is what you get...
If you can't feel comfortable with sex and drugs in comedy, you won't like this movie. Yet if you do I would give a good two thumbs up.
On the downside, There isn't any female skin shown... not to be a pervert, but i mean this movie was once titled "F*** Buddies" prior to release yet it is all man ass, especially from Kutcher. I know Portman is kinda ashamed of ever showing herself in film which is very easily understood, being such a superstar. Yet just man ass was kind of a bummer. no pun intended. It was done very carefully mind you, in not showing any female anatomy, which is kinda ironic...Like the opening scene of "Orgazmo"... Anyway.
All the same the film has a good heart, through many drug and sexual references. It is funny! not in an artsy or foreign film type way.. it is an American comedy with American humor... 6/10...
