Really enjoyed this.
A cut above the average modern rom com and a perfect break from my crazy work life at the moment.
Good chemistry between the leads and all the support, Woody Harrelson especially, but I think the fake cheesy romance movie with Jason Segel stole the show, as corny as it was supposed to be I'd definitely watch it.

Saw this tonight at Wester Hailes, about 85% full.
Easy to watch film and liked Justin Timberlake, he is doing well these days almost able to forget he was a singer!! Agree Woody Harrelson trying to hard. but loved Cameo from Hiro from Heroes.
7/10 from us

As rom coms go, I thought this was pretty watchable and entertaining and much better than its predecessor No Strings Attached, which shared the same premise. The character played by Woody Harrelson was hilarious. Predictability aside, I would say this was thoroughly enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this, a lot of it was down to me enjoying looking at Justin Timberlake with little or no clothes on though to be honest. I know I always liked him a little bit but... hmmm. I read somewhere on here that they thought that his character was slimy and I can't really agree with that to be honest. I thought that he was much better in this than he was in the social network, but then I know you're not supposed to like him in that any way.
I think I'm starting to have a bit of a soft spot for Mia Kunis too, wow she is really beautiful and those eyes are amazing. I saw an interview with the two of them on TV recently and they seemed to get on really well as friends in real life too which was ace.
I really b*ght into this. I even thought I was going to cry at one point but it didn't quite get to me that much.
This will be going on my dvd list.
With the comparisons to No Strings Attached, I also really enjoyed seeing that film too to be honest and that's already on my DVD list. I might even watched them one after the other one day!
8/10 (it get's 1 extra for the nice backside shot of jt)

Saw this at Wimbledon tonight, thought the first half hour or so of the film was slow, but it really picked up after that. 8/10

Liked it more than No Strings Attached, I also thought it was more chemistry in this film
The conversation between 2 men re their experiences, which I overheard
by accident! made the screening more fun!
8/10
