Comedy/romance

Friends With Benefits is really like two people having sex without any obligations.

Everything’s okay as long as you don’t need any emotional connection and just want the immediate gratification of a few jokes about romantic comedy cliches.

Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis play two young professionals who don’t have time for all the trappings of love and romance.

They agree to become sexual partners for the physical act. Emotional baggage is to be left outside the door. But it wouldn’t be a romantic comedy if the plan worked.

Director Will Gluck manages to generate enough laughs by taking shots at romantic comedies to get you through the night.

Timberlake and Kunis have some chemistry and are at their best when they are trading snappy banter. But the sex scenes go on too long and just become a blur of flesh and funny.[[In-content Ad]]
