want to see no strings attached again? then i suggest you add it to your netflix cue. while friends with benefits may look like a knock-off of the ashton kutcher/natalie portman dramedy, the two flicks are very different. yes, dylan (justin timberlake) and jamie (mila kunis) are friends who casually hook up. but, unlike their no strings attached counterparts, this duo didn't know each other very long before their first hook-up. after headhunter jamie convinces l.a.-based dylan to accept an nyc job with gq, the two strike up a friendship. both single- and both horny- jamie and dylan decide to use each other for sexual healing. mix in family issues on both sides, long triangles and even flash mobs (yeah, they really pre-dated themselves with the use of those), and friends with benefits puts itself same category as going the distance- a chick flick for guys. plus, you won't hear patricia clarkson use the phrase "twat block" in that other movie. mixed in with the romance is raunchy humor and just enough nudity to peak your interest. while it's no where near as good a film as no strings attached, it is entertaining. quick paced and sharply written, friends with benefits is the summer date night comedy that you won't regret seeing.
