Re: Friends with Benefits
That puzzled me - we got the Sky trailer before the SFF film as well as before the Sky film... what's the logic behind that? Sky taking over the world?

Re: Friends with Benefits
It's probably another one of the venue's screw ups.
Didn't they also show the Sky trailer before one of the Virgin screenings?
Virgin could not have been too thrilled about that

I think that is a really cute song, lol Can't believe I hadn't heard of that band before seeing the movie, this is the kind of stuff I loved in high school.jramjee wrote:LOL!

Re: Friends with Benefits
I really liked this. Thought Mila Kunis and Woody Harrelson were great. As much as I like Justin Timberlake, I'm not sure he best fit the role, however I definitely didn't mind him at all - apart from when he did those cringy singing bits - 'arrrah, please stop' I kept thinking. Those bits were ruining the moment for me - bar the Kris Kross bit (which I found completely hilarious as I do remember boys in my school who were also taken by the trend, although wearing clothes backwards only lasted about a week in my class, just so impractical, lol).
Clichéd and very predictable but it was nice to watch and I wouldn't mind seeing it again. 8/10

Re: Friends with Benefits
I'm afraid this didn't quite hit the spot with me.
I didn't get a lot of the musical references (although unfortunately I do remember Kriss Kross). Some of the jokes fell flat, and I didn't really find it all that funny.
I thought the performances were ok. I thought Justin Timberlake played much the same character that I've seen him play before though. He was likeable enough, but not particularly charismatic.
I thought Woody Harrelson was very good as the gay friend, and he provided the most laughs in the film. I thought the side story of the Dad with alzheimer's was poignant, though a bit forced.
We all knew how the film was going to turn out, and to me it felt a bit clunky waiting for it to get to the obvious conclusion.
It was ok entertainment for a couple of hours, but just 6/10 from me.

Re: Friends with Benefits
I saw this on Tuesday and loved it. I don't think I have seen Mila Kunis in anything and I liked her. Justin Timberlake is quite likeable as well now that he is getting older!
