Friends with Benefits stars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis as two young people who meet as Kunis has brought Timberlake to New York as she is a headhunter and he wanted for GQ magazine, the two develop a friendship and decide to do the bit with the thing in bed, but can best friends really do that or do feelings get in the way?
Okay viewers, let me take you back (take you back) to the year 1989 and two people who met during that year, one named Harry the other named Sally and their own meet and greet adventures made for a cracking film, When Harry met Sally...
This film is NOTHING compared to that film, mainly because while it has zing it has no heart, something WHMS had in spades, mainly due to the wonderful performance by Meg Ryan as Sally herself but while Kunis has some good timing, it feels hollow and as a result she's not as good to watch as Ryan was.
What does redeem the film is a solid supporting cast, mainly Patricia Clarkson, Woody Harrelson and Jenna Elfman, all three are very good in the film and manage to do something with the stock standard characters they're given and boy was I thankful for that as it was the only time I really felt like laughing in this entire film.
So yeah, rent When Harry met Sally instead, its cheaper and you'll enjoy yourself a lot more, this just feels flat in comparison but hey one of my favourite films is being recommended to you instead so it ain't a total loss, 1.5 out of 5.
