August 4, 2012Funny rom com. Two different people get dumped and they make a deal to become friends with benefits. But the inevitable happens they get emotionally closer. Justin and Mila are hot. They make a cute couple.

May 29, 2012This movie tries to make 1000 jokes and about 10 or 15 of them land. It also complains about rom-coms yet follows the exact formula for one. Will Gluck tries to play that "self-aware" card to distinguish his movies, but it is pretty easy to see right through it. Their are a handf... read more

May 28, 2012Perfectly decent rom-com. The leads were appealing and Patricia Clarkson and Richard Jenkins always bring it.
-
May 26, 2012Surprising romcom buoyed to nearly fresh with snappy, self aware, cheeky dialogue as well as the chemistry of its savvy leads. New York and L.A. put in scenic, charming if obligatory background appearances for mood and Woody Harrelson shucks and grins, typecast as a flaming big ... read more

April 19, 2012I am very surprised with this movie!
You think its going to be your typical romantic comedy, thats predictable but also lacking in the comedy department but i am proved wrong, this is certainly one of the better romcoms!
Its funny, and i actually quite like Justin Timberlake in t... read more -
February 22, 2012Sometimes chemistry can make up for a lot, and the dynamic, natural, and playfully flirty chemistry between stars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis makes up for a lot of their movies shortcomings (if you know what I mean). Friends with Benefits is another tale about a guy and a gi... read more

Okay
This movie can be fun at times, a little boring on the other, but overall I enjoyed it. It beat my expectations. Surely one of those that catch you by surprise.
The movie has the same story of two friends that decided to have sex without... read more -

February 2, 2012Dylan: Why do women think the only way to get men to do what they want is to manipulate them?
The first thing that is clear about this movie, is that you've seen these events before. You know that going in. We actually saw it earlier in the year with No Strings Attached, and do... read more -

Cath Clarke, Time Out
The chemistry between Kunis and her co-star Justin Timberlake is electric. Full Review

Greg Quill, Toronto Star
It's one of those rare made-in-Hollywood couplings that transcends the ordinary stuff of movies, like plot and sense and credibility. Full Review

Logan Hill, New York Magazine
Fast-paced and fabulously fake, Friends With Benefits is the Red Bull of romantic comedies, unapologetically delivering a hyperactive, synthetic buzz. Full Review

Alison Willmore, Time Out New York
Kunis and Timberlake achieve the trickier feat of looking just as happy hanging out as they do sucking face, and when the clichés inevitably come rolling in, they feel earned rather than like a cop-out. Full Review

David Denby, New Yorker
Friends with Benefits is fast, allusive, urban, glamorous -- clearly the Zeitgeist winner of the summer. Full Review

Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
"Friends With Benefits" is often uproariously and profanely funny, and anchored in high-spirited performances from its central duo, who are well matched as comic foils if oddly lacking in erotic elect... Full Review

Dana Stevens, Slate
Friends With Benefits is a dumb, by-the-numbers romantic comedy. Yet I kept finding small things to enjoy in it, mainly because of the two hard-to-hate leads. Full Review

Eric D. Snider, Film.com
It succeeds, thanks to comedic chemistry between the two leads and nimble direction by Will Gluck. Full Review
