Academy Award Winner Natalie Portman (Black Swan) and Ashton Kutcher (What Happens in Vegas...) star in the hilarious hit comedy that takes a modern look at what happens when friends-in-need do the deed. Emma is a busy doctor who sets up a seemingly perfect arrangement when she offers her best friend Adam a relationship with one rule: No Strings Attached. But when a fling becomes a thing, can sex friends stay best friends?
Product Description
In this comedy, Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher) are life-long friends who almost ruin everything by having sex one morning. In order to protect their friendship, they make a pact to keep their relationship strictly "no strings attached." "No strings" means no jealousy, no expectations, no fighting, no flowers, no baby voices. It means they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, in whatever public place they want, as long as they don't fall in love. The question becomes - who's going to fall first? And can their friendship survive?

All the ingredients for a fine contemporary comedy are here, including a pertinent theme (the difficulty of finding love amid career obligations and easy sex) and an assortment of courageous young actors (Natalie Portman, Ashton Kutcher, Greta Gerwig, Olivia Thirlby). Unfortunately the director is Ivan Reitman, who's never made a more emotionally complex film than Meatballs (1979). Telling the story of a med student (Portman) and an aspiring TV writer (Kutcher) who try to navigate a "sex friendship" without falling in love, Reitman settles for easy laughs, and his off-color jokes about menstruation and drug use feel like greeting-card gags. The charismatic leads keep this watchable, but it's a waste of their talents.

I consider myself to be a solid judge of a movie based on the previews, and this movie's previews definitely piqued my interest. As a single woman, begrudgingly falling into the stereotype, I'm always seeking a good love story that I can relate to. Unfortunately, I felt that this one fell flat. A decent overall movie to watch on a rainy day, but a uninspiring storyline.

Unfunny, unsexy, cliched, boring, trite, not worth spending any more time on this review. Don't waste your time on this crap.

Story has no substance at all. Transition between scenes is poor. Slow and boring. Not even worthy of my time to watch on a rainy day. Talents are wasted in this movie.

It is really sad when you get your expectations up with a new Ivan Reitman comedy only to be bitterly dissapointed by it. There is a hardly any chemistry between the two protaganists (Portman and Kutcher). All we get is a bawdy comedy with a slow moving story. Kevin Kline is simply wasted. Just oh dear, yawn.

And what is Natalie Portman doing in such a mess? I always thought she was a fairly intelligent actress who could pick out decent roles but she has made some really bad choices recently. And if there is a more unfunny, uninteresting film than this, I don't think I've seen it. Or a tv sitcom, for that matter. It is a mess.
I did like seeing Kline again, he is always good but really all it did was remind me of all his good films over the years I would rather have been watching.
And there is no question Natalie Portman is nice to look at. So I give it two stars for Portman's looks and Kline, zero stars for Kuchter (he is an insufferably bad actor in every way and should never make another film or tv show ever) which averages out to a one star.

Comment: This review is written by an older guy from the "free love" Emerson Lake and Palmer, Black Sabbath, Yes, and Beatles generation. I don't usually watch "chick flicks", but i'm a movie collector, so some "get through". This film is a (hard core) formula movie for this genres (chick flick). I have to say that when this movie started I couldn't help but think how "prissy and "gay-like" (the new generation depicted by this movie...) was looking and acting. As the story started to go... it started to become entertaining. One thing that I just couldn't get past was the casual way people had sex with each other. I mean even back in my day of "free love" (despite what you may of heard or read) when you were "boning a girl" you liked, you didn't pass her around like a reefer (as some of the characters were doing). My "distilled" comment for this movie is that if you strip away all the "fluff" around the main story it is somewhat entertaining. Is it believable or true to life... not a chance in hell. Please don't "flame mail" me as some have done in the past. This is a "free and open" venue for us to express our opinions. Thank You.

I had hopes for this one, good talent a plausible plot but it just went no where and very slowly. try some yoga, pick up some trash, talk a stroll or read a good book... life's short, do something else with your time

It was Okay!
It just seemed to be more of the same from Ashton - perhaps I was expecting more since I've loved the work of Ms. Portman since she was young.

It's okay, but many better ones out there
It's kind of what I expected for a chick flick, except it was more racy. Story was completely as expected. There are many better chick flicks out there.

Predictable.....
A cute, feel-good movie that was fun to watch. Loved the combo of Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman. Predictable ending but very enjoyable.
