Who's in it Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis, Patricia Clarkson, Jenna Elfman, Woody Harrelson
The plot Dylan (Timberlake) is a hugely sought after blogger from Los Angeles visiting New York to interview for a prestigious position on GQ magazine, after being talent scouted by Jamie (Kunis). Initially hesitant about moving to the Big Apple, Jamie convinces him to cross the country and pretty soon becomes his go-to girl accompanying him to dinners, clubs and parties. Both single, with little time to build successful relationships, one night, the pair decide to take their friendship up a notch… adding those ‘benefits'. Establishing a mutual agreement to embark on a physical relationship, but in a way so as not to ruin their friendship, is the perfect arrangement for the busy pair, until they realise that there's no such thing as no strings attached...
What we liked You'll find laughs aplenty here, and there's no denying the chemistry - or comic timing - between the super-hot lead stars, Justin and Mila. Elfman, Jenkins and Harrelson provide great support.
What we didn't like Unfortunately, we've seen this plot before in the very recent No Strings Attached. And in many ways Friends has certain elements in common with Love and Other Drugs as well.
e+ says If you're looking for a fun flick offering up some laughs Friends with Benefits is a decent comedy to watch with your man, or your group of gal pals.
