Friends with Benefits (2011) ***



Directed by: Will Gluck

Cast:

Mila Kunis as Jamie


Nolan Gould as Sammy

Woody Harrelson as Tommy


Richard Jenkins as Mr. Harper

Emma Stone as Kayla

Rating: R (for violence and sexual content)

Runtime:  109mins

Genre: Romantic Comedy

What made this picture a good watch were the two leads, Kunis and Timberlake; their chemistry kept the film going and made it enjoyable…I doubt it would have been as fun to watch if the central duo was replaced. Plus it’s fun to see a real life couple onscreen.
The plot opens with Jamie (Mila Kunis) trying to recruit Dylan (Justin Timberlake) for a job interview with GQ magazine. Dylan originally from LA is reluctant to move to New York, but after a night out with Jamie decides to move, they become best friends later add sex to the equation complicate things and realize there is more to the relationship. Story wise, it’s a pretty run of the mill romantic comedy but the dialogue and pace of the movie keep it engaging and mildly funny.
This is the 2nd Timberlake romantic comedy I’ve seen this season, and it seems he is transitioning pretty smoothly from a recording artist to an actor. Never liked his music, but his acting is improving… looking forward to seeing more of him on the big screen, hopefully some challenging stuff as well.
