No Strings Attached

Synopsis: In this rom-com, Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher) are life-long friends who almost ruin everything by having sex one morning. In order to protect their friendship, they make a pact to keep their relationship strictly physical with 'no strings attached'. 'No strings' means no jealousy, no expectations, no fighting, no flowers and definitely no baby voices. They can do whatever they want, whenever they want, in whatever public place they want just as long as they do not fall in love. The question becomes - who is going to fall first? And can their friendship survive? [Source: Yahoo! Singapore Movies]

Friends with benefits, a rather unique theme that happens only in reel life. Seriously, how can you have sex with your friend countless times with no feeling at all? Putting this thought aside, the plot of this movie is rather weak. The opening 15 minutes is downright horrible, conversations between actors and actresses doesn't really link. I think it will be better if they do not speak at all. If you managed to last through the 15 minutes, the movie (thankfully) starts to get better. It goes through the whole typical Hollywood plot of guy likes girl, girl rejects, then girl find she likes the guy, guys accepts the girl and they live happily ever after. Catch other movie unless you have spare money to spend.
