Friends with Benefits

Saw this at WIQ, arrived 5 min late after taking the wrong direction.....oops ...One of the things I hate about going to an unfamiliar place. It's certainly more memorable than NSA. It is weird seeing Justin acting, I don't know yet whether I enjoy it but then again I have to see him do something with a lot more depth than this. I loved this movie even though the trailer gives away most of the beginning an the fact its predictable but then again it why its called a rom-com. 8/10

Saw this at West India Quays. About 80% full tonight and started promptly.

I hadn't seen " No Strings Attached" so I can't compare the two films.

On the whole I enjoyed it. Essentially a film of two halves. The first half I enjoyed most as it was the comedy part. The second half was more heavy but watchable. Not a big fan of JT and not sure about him as a romantic lead. Mila Kunis was very good.

I especially enjoyed Woody Harrelson in it playing a "Would be predatory gay" sports editor.

Yes it was cliched but definitely watchable. 7/10

Enjoyed this much more than I thought I would and definitely found it better than "No Strings Attached".
I thought the two leads were good -- likeable but not annoying which is pretty unusual in a rom-com.

Great to see so many FMUKers there. This was our first time to West India Quay and the cinema for this screening was great. Shame about the disaster projection of Fright Night later on.

I saw this at a 70% full Cineworld in Milton Keynes. I enjoyed the film, and thought the chemistry between the 2 leads was excellent.

8/10 for me.

Thought this was very predictable but strangely likeable, BF hated it and fell asleep 3 times through it :S
Can't add much to what has already been said, Im not really a massive fan of Rom-Coms, and I have a particular dislike for Justin Timberlake's acting...
7/10 from me, mila kunis was really good, the laughs were good, would probably rate it higher if I like Rom-Coms!
-10/10 from BF

Nearly full at cineworld liverpool. Really enjoyable film especially enjoyed the woman in the cinema with the infectious laugh. 9 out of 10

Also saw this at Liverpool, so glad that that woman wasn't sat near to me. She made noises all the way through the film, although it was funny when she first started laughing. I really enjoyed this film, for me Mila Kunis was the star, so funny and dry-witted. The onscreen chemistry between her and JT was really good.Looked like they had a real laugh filming it. Loved the pop up dance scenes and the references to Kriss Kross.

Lovely to chat to LiteupLee again.

8/10

I thought this was a really cute rom-com with a fair few laughs. Loved the flashmobs and cheesy music (and the use of Hey Soul Sister!). I never particularly liked Justin Timberlake from his singing days but I thought he played a convincing sweet character in the movie and it really made me warm up to him. I've loved Mila Kunis since That 70s Show and always enjoy seeing her in movies. Some nice short roles/cameos as well from Emma Stone, Jason Segel, Jenna Elfman and Masi Oka. And Woody Harrelson was particularly hilarious. Wouldn't mind watching this again as some mindless fun whenever it comes on TV in the future.

8/10

That reminds me, was "That 70s Show" ever screened in the UK? None of my work-colleagues seemed to recognize it.

Yes. For years! Funny enough Ashon Kutchner was in that too and he was the lead in No Strings Attached

And the other lead in NSA was Natalie Portman who was in Black Swan with Mila Kunis XD
