Watchable one. But if I could go back in time and tell myself not to watch, I would.

First time rewatching since seeing it 10+ years ago and I don't remember it being this bad.

Had a bit of a connected film run these last 3 nights. From 'No Strings Attached' -> 'Black Swan' -> this one. Tonight's viewing was definitely the weakest of the lot. Compared to No strings which coincidentally came out in in the same year it just had no heart. I didn't feel their connection here. Just JT's character being a massive douche and them crowbarring in some 'depth' coz he had a complicated family situation.
Also there were some really problematic lines in this film. Like saying he wasn't going to rape the woman in the park (wtf kind of writing is that!) and the gay colleague constantly asking if Dylan was gay and all his interactions being about banging dudes. That and plenty of other shitty cheap comments. Just lazy writing all around. It liked to think it was being smart with the meta rom com stuff but it was just shit.

Do yourself a favour. Watch no strings attached and pass on this one.

Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis made a great pair and delivered a satisfying romantic movie. You may find it predictable and cliched but still, the great execution makes it a treat.

Breaking news: You're not going to see anything here that hasn't been done better elsewhere (Sleeping With Other People immediately comes to mind). That said, there is a fair amount to like here. As with most Rom-Coms, if you pay attention you can see the details of the final scene coming as they dropped hints throughout the movie. The two leads have fantastic chemistry, although if I am being honest Timberlake really struggled in scenes where he was just supposed to deliver regular (not comedic) dialog. There is a fake movie that is referenced multiple times in the real movie - I think I may have enjoyed that one more.

Netflix is either trying wayyy too hard to be woke (like Bridgerton or The Irregulars) or it is completely reversing the women's rights movement (like this movie lol)

Entertaining, even if that's almost entirely thanks to Mila Kunis.

'Friends with Benefits' has surprisingly more to it than I would've predicted, it's not just about sex, sex and sex. That does take up large portions of the film admittedly, but there's more heart to it - especially with Justin Timberlake's character.

I like Timberlake (Dylan) as an actor, but this is one of his weaker showings in my opinion. He doesn't give a negative performance and doesn't lower the quality of the film, I just felt this wasn't one of his best.

Kunis (Jamie) is terrific, as usual it seems. Her performance is very enjoyable, she portrays the personality of her character nicely. She definitely keeps things moving, even if Timberlake's role gets more depth.

Woody Harrelson is amusing as Tommy, while Richard Jenkins gives the film a touching side with his role as Mr. Harper. Overall, I reckon this gets most of what it aims to right. I'd say you should give it a view.

The film has it's ups, it has it's downs. It doesn't end up being a bad Rom-com, but I've seen better.
