Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

*Quick Review* Personally, I don't particularly like Romantic comedies. I think they're riddled with cliches, not very funny and just an unpleasant viewing experience. I thought I was going into another cheesey comedy (which to be honest it kind of is), but I actually really enjoyed this one. I thought the cast was great, Timberlake played his role well and I thought he was overall a funny character. I had watched him in The Social Network, so I knew he was good, but I hadn't seen him in a comedy, so I was curious to see how he would play out. I thought Kunis was great and you could feel a real chemistry between her and Timberlake. They both worked well together. The plot is well worked at the start, and I really enjoyed the first hour. The last 40 minutes were ok, but I felt they were a bit of a drag and I was starting to fade in and out of the movie. Over all, I think that yes, this is a typical romantic comedy, but it is funny and it plays out well. The two main characters are both likeable and fit their roles nicely. I would definitely recommend this.

Romantic drama/comedy for teenage girls at its best. There's no much cinematography, art or depth, but it's very effective in achieving its purpose. I laughed and I cried and I could watch it again right now and I'm so sorry it is not series instead of movie. And cast is awesome. I love them all. Call me a pussy, but I'm giving it an eight out of ten.<3/10

i was mostly intrigued by the title since i always find these types of comedies funny. i loved the movie even though the IMDb ratings are below 7. DEFINITELY not a theatres movie though, especially with the... sexual doings. Very glad that i watched it at home but very glad that i watched it. Not THAT funny but cute for me since i usually hate romance movies. but this was cutely independent.

Friends with benefits is a 2011 comedy starring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis as two friends who decide to have sexual intercourse one night and never speak about it eve again and remain friends. The film stands out as a bit of a remake of No Strings Attached(2010). I loved this movie so darn much,it was absolutely hilarious probably from that guy who the hard guy in Zombieland(2009)and also Justin Timberlake who I hate as a singer and actor,Mila Kunis was OK in this film nothing great,I think there was somebody else who should have played her but apart from that everything was great. Also,really liked Patrica Clarkson from the TV remake of Carrie in this as the mom.Friends with Benefits is a awesome comedy.
