No Strings Attached




Here's another film review. No Strings Attached is starred by Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher, is a film about modern day romantic comedy of two long friends that decided to have casual sex, without all the feelings and talking and especially without falling for each other, kinda like friends with benefit.

The film is based on screenplay by Elizabeth Meriwether, titled Friends With Benefit. Ivan Reitman, the director, told the press that he noticed how easy teenagers nowadays to have casual sex without the emotion.

This film isn't all about sex, the film doesn't even show nudity (that much). There are other things that the film explore, mostly on the emotional side of this kind of relationship. One does wonder, if we can keep being friends, after all that. The twist in this film is that the guy is the one that developed the feelings and brave enough to confess, however the girl got scared and run away.

Although I have to say, this is not the best we've seen from Natalie, it does suit Ashton really well. If you knew how he is from all his previous film, you would know about his acting in films. But, if you want to see Natalie's crazier side, you can see it here.

All and all, if you like some light romantic, heart-warming, sexy, and funny film, it is recommended, especially on your boring Sunday afternoon with the one you love. A solid 3/5 stars from me.
