3.0 out of 5 stars A waste of good talents May 9, 2011
Format:Blu-ray
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ehhh. (*shrugging shoulders impartially*) May 21, 2011
Format:Amazon Instant Video|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do no waste your time November 17, 2012

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars No chemistry July 29, 2011
By Loo
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars How does Ashton Kuchter keep getting roles? July 3, 2011
Format:DVD
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mildly entertaining May 22, 2011
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars 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.
