Movie Review: Friends with benefits
Written by Elka Schaimberg
Monday, 19 December 2011 09:40
This racy romcom stars two “lovely-to-look-at” leads Mila Kunis (who plays Jamie) and Justin Timberlake (who plays Dylan) – both of them fare well in the acting department too, with loads of chemistry between them to boot.
The movie’s premise is by no means original: a gorgeous guy, a beautiful gal, two battered hearts and a bed that needs warming. But Friends with Benefits has the attitude to make this simple story work.
Jamie is a headhunter who lures Dylan, an art director, to an interview for GQ magazine. She needs him to take the job to earn her bonus and so sweetens the deal by showing him around New York. The super-sexy young professionals both decide that an occasional quickie between friends is the perfect pick-me-up.
Don’t allow your low expectations of the film to keep you away. In fact, you may be pleasantly surprised with a few good laughs. If romcom is your favourite genre, then Friends with Benefits can arguably be classified as a good one.
Director: Will Gluck
Starring: Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis
