| Crazy little thing called lust |
When I first heard about this film I thought "Did they just rip off No Strings Attached?
" The two films seem so similar that many movie goers couldn't tell the difference storywise. Both films feature attractive couples wondering what to do with themselves. When I walked into this screening I was expecting a chick flick (romantic comedy). Turns out that I was right but also in the wrong. This film didn't follow the usual stigma and is able to stand on it's own... barely.STORY
Dylan, played by Justin Timberlake, and Jamie, played by Mila Kunis, are having a hard time with their relationships. Their own self indulge issues are preventing them from having any type of stable relationship. As true friends they decide it would be better off if they take their relationship to the next level. Sex and cock teasing galore!

Eventually they hook up and things start getting complicated. They both have their own issues that is hard for them to overcome. Their friends are really the highlight of their lives because without them they wouldn't be able to deal. Silly and funny situations pop up one after another that causes them to rethink their arrangement. Maybe them being together wasn't such a good idea.

I can't give away exactly what the story is about because the movie will be released sometime late next month and I can't afford to get sued. I can say though that this romantic comedy doesn't follow the normal routine and dares to be different. The story toward the end gets a little icky because some secrets get released that makes you think the wrong things. What those things are I will not say but if I were you I would bring an extra bag. You might need it if you think they went a little too far with the shock value.
ACTING
The acting here was pretty decent for the film. The chemistry was much better between Mila and Justin than Portman and Kutcher. It felt like they really were friends with benefits. The supporting cast made the film though. They were funny and drove the story along so it didn't get too boring. It's nothing to really ride home with but at least the audience won't be completely disappointed. They did their best and that's all we ask for.

SPECIAL EFFECTS
If nudity and sex is a special effect then this film needs an oscar. If you are not comfortable with nudity then you should skip this one. One of the scenes reminded me of the Full Monty
and I can't believe it made it into the film. Maybe by the time it's released it will be cut but I hope not. One of the funniest moments in the film. And to answer your question yes Mila and Justin is shown having sex. Try not to get any boners. |

The film was directed by Will Gluck and written by Keith Merryman and David A. Newman. I was impressed with the dialog and flow of the story. This film seemed more realistic than its carbon copy. I'm glad they tried to be different but in some ways they still fell into the norm. The directing was decent at best. Nothing special coming from this department. He may need more practice on how to do close ups but everything else seemed ok to look at. Overall it's a decent job for a decent film.

THE ENDI would wait for video. It's not the type of movie that you just need to see. I don't know why it's getting released in the summer. It will get crushed but I guess the company doesn't have high hopes for it. This should be on video around the fall. Rent it from Netflix and have a date movie. You might get lucky!
