Friends With Benefits

When you first saw the previews for this movie, you probably said "Didn't that come out already?" Many people probably confused it with "No Strings Attached" starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher. Let's clear this up for everyone...FWB is the clear winner.

This light hearted, very funny movie stars Justin Timberlake as Dylan and Mila Kunis as Jamie. A business meeting brings the 2 together and of course some sparks fly. BUT not the way you would expect. The laughs are plentiful and I missed some of the dialogue that followed the funny lines since the theater was in hysterics.

Woody Harrelson, Jenna Elfman and Patricia Clarkson round out the main cast. Harrelson is especially funny in his role as Tommy, the gay sports editor. Why did I say it that way? There is a reason and I say it with all respect. There are of course some sweet touching moments as this is a rom-com at heart.

Overall, I would give this 4 out of 5 stars. A much funnier movie than Bad Teacher and a better role for Timberlake.
