Friends with Benefits

Friends with Benefits was a typical romantic comedy starring Mila Kunis, Justin Timberlake and Woody Harrelson, it was set mainly in New York, with parts of the film taking place in Los Angeles.

So, to start off with both of the protagonists break up with their other halves, they then meet each other, and become very good friends. But they can’t just leave it at two good friends, who both happen to be single and are of the opposite sex…oh no, so they decide that a fuck buddy relationship would work for both of them because they are emotionally bollocksed. Then of course, she wants to end it so that she can try and find her Prince Charming, so she goes on a date with this new guy, fucks him on the fifth date, he turns out to be a prick. I’m not gonna give away the ending, but surely you can see where this is going.

The film was really well written, and serious kudos to the writers, they know what kind of films sell. But in all seriousness, they could have made a film that ripped the norm to pieces with a title like that, but instead they made it like every other chick flick on the market…why?! I loved the film still, it was awesome, Mila Kunis bent over was hot, and Justin Timberlake topless is always good to get people to see a film. But it was just typical, and I was ridiculously let down.

The acting was good though, as was to be expected. The sex scenes were pretty good, without getting too graphic. I loved the sound effects when he first goes down on her. And the straight up honesty about sex in relationships was pure banter.

Hmmm, so now for my overall opinion…it was a good film that attracted the masses, but it would’ve been better without all the typical shit. But I do think that the film was great in the way that it was so straight up about guys and gash, shit sex when you’re in a relationship, and how everyone is an emotional fucktard. So yeah, I would recommend going to see it. If you liked The Break-Up then you’ll probably like this, it’s the same kind of humour. Check it out.
