Friends With Benefits

I saw this today and I liked it. It was completely predictable, of course, but the dialogue was surprisingly well done and Mila and Justin had great chemistry. Plus, Patricia Clarkson was awesome as always.

I was amused and surprised that they actually included a joke about the Co$ considering that Jenna Elfman is in the movie.

What was the CoS joke again?

I really enjoyed it. Justin didn't have that thing going on like he normally does in movies, where he's not awful exactly, but you can tell he's not an actor. Here, he seemed pretty natural. The chemistry with Mila probably helped.

I think they were going for something with Woody Harrelson's character but I don't know if I bought it.

I agree. If you must insist on making movies, Timberlake, this is your genre.

What was the CoS joke again?

When they were at the Hollywood sign, Justin's character joked that the sign and the Scientology center were the only landmarks in the city. He then "apologized" for the joke in case any of the cameras there were hooked into the Scientology center because he believes in the freedom of science fiction.

This was on Blockbuster Express so I rented it tonight and I enjoyed it. I am not sure JT can carry even half a movie -- I do like him in small dosages -- but liked Mila Kunis a lot.

Actually, I want to be her! I liked most of her clothes, she has beautiful eyes and gorgeous hair, and she had an amazing apartment.

Okay, I will watch any movie with this line!

If I didn't hate romcoms -- even romcoms which make fun of romcoms -- I'd have enjoyed it more. Decent performances all around, but Woody Harrelson's knee socks were UNFORGIVABLE.
