Review
A
movie without benefits,
7 September 2011
Author:

Don't waste your
time on this one. A weak, predictable plot highly dependent on simulated sex
scenes between the two main characters to maintain viewer interest. Of course,
if you're into that kind of thing, you'd probably think this was the movie of
the year. If you're looking for some depth or acting quality, you've come to
the wrong film.
And what's with
Justin Timberlake? Is he gay or putting a little too much glitter on his speech
to give it a gay twist? I'm not trying to be funny here because one of the
running gags is that people keep asking him if he is gay. I suppose this is
supposed to have us all convulsed with laughter, otherwise I don't have any
idea why they are beating us to death with this angle. I suspect Mila Kunis did
her best with the underdeveloped character she was given, and its the reason I
rated the film so highly. Anyway, if you really want to explore the 'can men
and women be friends' theme, watch the best in this genre, 'When Harry Met
Sally'. At least you won't regret the time you spent watching it.
