No Strings Attached (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo)

Kutcher
I have seen 'Friends With Benefits' at least half a dozen times. I have only watched 'No Strings Attached' twice - I came to see it a second time to test my reactions to it - they were the same as the first viewing. This movie is worth seeing if you are an Ashton Kuther fan. For the rest, it's a bit cliche-ridden - from the gay dads to the gay doc to the horn dog heterosexual dad. Is there a mother somewhere? We'll never know.'Friends With Benefits' is a better film but JT is no AK. Sexy enough, and sweet enough. But no hunky AK.This movie is great for passing the time, but its target audience is really the very young of dating age. There's a sitcom feel to it. Sitcoms are all about cliches, too - and still likeable.

A Great, Old-School, Romantic Comedy!
I didn't think I would like this movie as much as I did! Given the description and Aston Kutcher were strikes against this movie, but I watched it out of desperation for something to watch. It was actually so cute! Good character/ relationship development amongst the main characters, fun supporting actor roles, nice shots of California, and Natalie Portman being just funny and down-to-earth. Aston Kutcher was actually a nice guy in this movie, and despite him sleeping around so much, he's really loveable. (Words I never thought I would say!!). Give this movie a try!!

Awful, Couldn't Finish
There was a time when the friends-with-benefits trope was striving to become popular. Then it quietly went away because no one could figure out how to do it without giving it a Hollywood ending. It would take a lot more talent than what you see here. This is a poorly done movie. Totally predictable. Needlessly crass and off putting. Can't believe Natalie Portman thought this was worthwhile.

I love No Strings Attached
This movie in my opinion is nicer and less severe than Friends with Benefits in terms of sexuality. There are times where I feel appalled but otherwise, it’s cute and funny. I at least get to see Ashton Kutcher on the mature side (from previously playing teenagers and immature men on screen and tv) and Natalie Portman on the comedic side (from previously being a drama queen). I’ve been avoiding it for years afraid it was going to be like a 50 shades movie or something. It’s totally opposite. I now have seen every single movie of Kevin Kline and I love them all. There is not one movie of his that I hate or that makes me feel bored to death.

Good looking actors and actresses - good for a night not having something else to do
Honestly, I was searching for something with hot (erotic) scenes. Maybe because I fast forwarded to the first scene with some nudity that I actually skipped the beginning (as so many reviewers said they could not watch past 15 minutes) and got hooked. Not super funny and sexy, but easy to watch and there are some good lines. Simple story, something a bit cheesy, a bit romantic, but not overly fantasized, I do like it.

Pathetic TeenyBopper-of-a-woman wanting Guys not to love her? Horrible Flick!
Pathetic film. Will not even call it a movie. The Story? Horrible acting, horrible theme......if you can even FIGURE OUT what the theme of this movie was?

fun
The two actors had good chemistry . The lighthearted comedy , of course turns into a romance . Some sex guru years back said " our culture no longer makes love , they are having sex " . This movie reminds those who need more than physical contact , love still happens . Sometimes even when we don't want it .

Heartwarming and Hilarious
Portman and Kutcher at their best. Funny, entertaining and loved every minute of it. Need more movies like this. Best I have seen in a while. Kudos !!!

A decent evening's light entertainment
This is a very nice undemanding romcom, perfectly suitable to while away an evening when you are unimpressed by the available TV programs. Great art it isn't, but that's never what it was intended to be. If you're looking for an enjoyable, unthinking, "brain-in-neutral" type film after the style of "Friends with Benefits", this should fill the bill admirably.

Really, really liked it.
A funny film, with loads of good-looking people, doing rather stuff in a rather likeable manner, with flair & colour, and with proper acting (befitting a romantic sex-comedy). Haven't I listed enough reasons to justify five stars yet?You would love it, I'm sure.

Good
I began watching this film on TV and ever since wanted to watch the rest. However, when I got into it, it became a typical chick flick. I couldn't watch to the end so I stopped watching to save myself the clichéd trauma of chick flicks.
