(Movie Review) Friends with Benefits (2011)

Ah. The age old question. Could to have your cake and eat it too? Sure. You could. But then you would want milk too....and that is the main dilemma. It's like that episode of Seinfeld where they want "this, that & the other". It ALWAYS would turn into something more. Even if you don't want it to. The fun thing about this movie is that it's not the typical "girl falls for guy" kind of movie. It's two people that aren't supposed to get involved that kinda start to look at each other different at the same time.

Storyline: While trying to avoid the clichés of Hollywood romantic comedies, Dylan and Jamie soon discover however that adding the act of sex to their friendship does lead to complications. - FROM IMDB

Thoughts: I love everything that Mila Kunis touches, and this movie was no exception. She and Timberlake make this a funny poke at the world of complicated relationships. What I love is that she doesn't play the "googly eyed school girl with a crush" part. She is a professional business woman that happens to have a fling with a good friend who is equally tired of the dating world. Could it have been better. Sure, most things can. But as it was, the movie was funny and didn't take itself too seriously. Check it out.
