It was definitely a cliche and I have to admit that I did kind of cringe at the undertones of Woody Harrelson's gay sports editor. But if you know what you're expecting, it's pretty fun. Mila Kunis remains the kind of girl other girls want to be like and while I found it quite hard to get over Justin Timberlake being, well, anyone other than Justin Timberlake, it really was a good laugh.

A rom-com that for a change managed to put a bit more emphasis on the "com"... yes, it was a little formulaic and clichéd, but it was entertaining enough... although can't take Mila Kunis seriously; as soon as I head her voice, I just think Meg from Family Guy!!

Finally seeing this tonight with an Odeon voucher. Trailer for Footloose looks bad. Contagion looks scary, good cast though. New Year' Eve looks bearable. Jonny English looks terrible.

Hopefully I'll enjoy FwB!

Because I haven't met him/ And he never returns my calls.


Hard to believe that there is now a movie called 'friends with benefits' recorded on my dads skybox. Me thinks he knows not what it means.

oh, thanks, I see, Hotrod. A wannabe clone of the classy, very funny Napoleon Dynamite. But without the class and the jokes. I couldn't finish that movie tbh. sorry!
