As the title implies, Friends with Benefits deals with the social convention of what is meant to be meaningless sex between good friends. It's a fun, semi-raunchy, fast-paced romantic comedy which owes much of its considerable charm to the sizzling chemistry between leads Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis.
It's by no means a new idea; most recently Kunis' Black Swan co-star Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher explored the same theme in No Strings Attached. Friends with Benefits takes a similar approach, although the characters here are, collectively, even more emotionally challenged.
The lead characters are influenced by their parents' dysfunctional relationships; Jamie (Kunis) is emotionally damaged and desperately believes in true love, and Dylan (Timberlake) is emotionally off-limits, prioritising his work over relationships. The two meet when Jamie, a New York headhunter, brings Dylan to New York to become the new art director at GQ Magazine. They start hanging out, become good friends, and bond over tales of their failed relationships, so after admitting a physical attraction to each other they decide on being "friends with benefits".
While trying to avoid the clichés of Hollywood romantic comedies, Dylan and Jamie soon discover however that adding the act of sex to their friendship does lead to complications. |
