Friends with Benefits

Friends with Benefits is one of an increasing number of movies that insists on putting the best bits in the trailer. I get why they do that, but some of the best moments in the film, the ones that should really make you laugh, you have already seen.

 That being said, Justin Timberlake was almost good enough in this to make me forget he was once in a boy band and Mila Kunis certainly gives guys a good reason not to feel too bad when their girlfriend drags them out to see this.

The stand out performance comes from Woody Harrelson, who plays a gay sports editor. Dylan (Timberlake) strikes up a friendship with Tommy (Harrelson) who provides some advice and great comedy moments.

 Friends with Benefits is a fun, throwaway movie. It's not going to make you think, the storyline is somewhat inevitable and the cast do an okay job. Chances are you're still going to go and see it anyway, and with the above in mind, you probably won't even be that disappointed.

Friends with Benefits: 5.5/10
