Diagonaldi Very well executed
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
supercarspotter *Quick Review* Personally, I don't particularly like Romantic comedies. I think they're riddled with cliches, not very funny and just an unpleasant viewing experience. I thought I was going into another cheesey comedy (which to be honest it kind of is), but I actually really enjoyed this one. I thought the cast was great, Timberlake played his role well and I thought he was overall a funny character. I had watched him in The Social Network, so I knew he was good, but I hadn't seen him in a comedy, so I was curious to see how he would play out. I thought Kunis was great and you could feel a real chemistry between her and Timberlake. They both worked well together. The plot is well worked at the start, and I really enjoyed the first hour. The last 40 minutes were ok, but I felt they were a bit of a drag and I was starting to fade in and out of the movie. Over all, I think that yes, this is a typical romantic comedy, but it is funny and it plays out well. The two main characters are both likeable and fit their roles nicely. I would definitely recommend this.
noticiasjuridicas Although not very fruitful, Justin Timberlake already has on his back a filmography of more than a fortnight of titles like actor. He will not always play the flute and will be hired to play the roles of Zuckerberg's partner in 'The Social Network' or one of Nick Cassavetes's 'Alpha Dog' dealers - but there he is, with productions designed (almost) entirely he. With the right to friction is based on several formulas. The first, pure Hollywood marketing: to join in a romantic comedy to two stars or promises of fashion, Timberlake and Mila Kunis, the surprise, revelation or whatever you want of 'Black Swan', the thriller of Darren Aronofsky. The second, to resurrect for the umpteenth time, although with more sex, the old formula of the comedies with Doris Day and Rock Hudson. The third, to compose a script - part of an argument co-written by Harley Peyton, producer and screenwriter of several episodes of 'Twin Peaks', who would say it - would be applauded in some of Robert McKee's master classes, Perfectly gutted, his scenes dramatically strong - that is to say - and those of relaxation, the gags scattered in moderation - is a "serious" film about love and dislike, about sex with or without sex, about, in the Depth, the impossibility of platonic love or relationship without emotions and desires - and the two or three secondary characters incorporated by veteran actors who give brightness to the subject, but they are not totally digressions: the mother of the protagonist, a nostalgic- ____________________________________________________________________
lorcan-61881 Friends with benefits is a 2011 comedy starring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis as two friends who decide to have sexual intercourse one night and never speak about it eve again and remain friends. The film stands out as a bit of a remake of No Strings Attached(2010). I loved this movie so darn much,it was absolutely hilarious probably from that guy who the hard guy in Zombieland(2009)and also Justin Timberlake who I hate as a singer and actor,Mila Kunis was OK in this film nothing great,I think there was somebody else who should have played her but apart from that everything was great. Also,really liked Patrica Clarkson from the TV remake of Carrie in this as the mom.Friends with Benefits is a awesome comedy.
Neve FWB is the kind of film you chuck on after a bad day of work, so you can zone out for a couple of hours. It's fun, surprisingly endearing and features a stellar cast that's sure to have you giggling.After reading the more negative reviews, I think the biggest issue is watching this without knowing what to expect. It's not new, it's not thought-provoking, and you can sure as hell guess what the ending is as soon as you read the summary. Yet, it's amusing. It's a happy little feel-good movie, and certainly nothing more. However, what makes it so good is that the film knows that. It never pretends to be something it's not, and pokes fun at all the clichés it harbors. The chemistry between Kunis and Timberlake is enjoyable, the soundtrack is upbeat, and the supporting actors, while not as fleshed out as they could be, are fantastic.Overall a 7/10, and an easily re-watchable film.
