Friends with Benefits

Friends with Benefits

We all want them, right?

I'm talking about the people in our lives that are quick to offer a non-condemning overlook, even on our most questionable days. People that will give us supports and love in times we need it. It is such a treasure having friends in our life that no amount could buy too.

Acclaimed as one of the year’s best romantic comedies, “Friends with Benefit” the movie made a wonderful and good reflection on the real state and degree of friendship now and how incidence happen to change a lifetime.

From the director of “Easy A,” the film stars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis as liberal singles Dylan and Jamie, respectively, who think it will be easy to add sex to their friendship, but they discover that getting physical always leads to complications. Dylan working hard to establish himself at a new job in a new city and no time to pursue life’s more perky aspects, and Kunis’ Jamie meeting too many “nice” guys who turn out to be not-so-nice, the two come to an agreement asserting mutual benefits without the emotional complications of dating. ‘Cause after all, everyone has physical needs, they convince themselves. What could possibly go wrong? As if anyone of them comes and do this for fun and enjoyment.  Just imagine that without having a relationship as lovers but performing sex just for their personal needs! So pathetic in my side.

Timberlake notes, “Our characters meet each other in that time where they’ve both recently split up from other relationships and we’re both in that headspace where we kind of want to just be single.” It’s not new to us right? Nowadays it is so common especially in our generation having encountered in short time relationships. Of course in quite some time we look for other people that could be an aid to heal the wounds brought to us by certain break ups.

Mila Kunis saw her character Jamie as someone who “believes in true love and believes that Prince Charming is out there and is desperately seeking that.” Jamie doesn’t wear her heart on her sleeve, though. “She’s a typical New Yorker,”

I was truly surprised that right from the beginning I was laughing. I know some of you women are thinking Justin Timberlake brought sexy back, but Mila Kunis brought funny back. But I admit the fact that both of them have a good chemistry that is really a nice thing to watch too.
