Friends With Benefits (2011) 8/10

Starring : Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis, Patricia Clarkson, Jenna Elfman, Bryan Greenberg, Richard Jenkins, Woody Harrelson
Director : Will Gluck
Running Time : 105mins

When Los Angeles based Dylan Harper (Timberlake) is head-hunted by Jamie Rellis (Kunis) for a New York job at GQ, he decides to take the job based purely on Jamie’s spiel and they become firm friends. But when they decide to make the move to having sex together – but without all the messy relationship stuff thrown in – things become a lot more complicated than wither one of them could have expected.

I really enjoyed this romantic comedy which could have easily fallen into the trap of so many that have gone before. Thankfully this has a sharp and witty script that really give Timberlake and Kunis something to work with, and doesn’t just rely on the situations they get into but more importantly looks at their relationship as a whole and how it changes once sex and feelings become involved.
