Reasons I’m digging the Justin Timberlake- and Mila Kunis-starring Friends With Benefits much more than its already-released look-a-like No Strings Attached: The film co-stars awesome folk like Emma Stone, Andy Samburg, Woody Harrelson, and Patricia Clarkson (in S&M attire!); appears to be rife with ’90s references (hello Kriss Kross and Semisonic!); and doesn’t use the non-existent term “Sex Friends.” Also, I officially buckled my seat belt on the Mila Kunis bandwagon hearing her utter this line in the new trailer while bemoaning the myths romantic comedies perpetuate: “Shut up, Katherine Heigl. You stupid liar!” Sigh, if only she was directing that to Izzie Stevens circa 2008. Watch the trailer embedded after the jump, and hope that that childhood photo of Timberlake is real.
so good!!!!!
Same old stuff. Yawn.
Yeah, it does. Also, it’s Samberg, not Samburg
Sorry, EW, this looks lousy. Maybe when people get excited for good movie they’ll make some more.
Jon. You haven’t seen the movie. So, please, by all means, say something negative rather than give the movie a chance. After all, they set out to make this movie so you could make a bitter, jaded comment.
This does look really cute. I think JT ‘rapping’ KrisKross and the swearing on the iBible was hilarious!!! I have been on the Mila Kunis bandwagon since That 70s Show. Love her.
So I saw No Strings Attached and was very disappointed. Natalie Portman’s character was just too hard to relate to or even understand. If only we could have gotten Mila Kunis with Ashton Kutcher in the same movie … it would have been perfect! Can’t wait for this one to come out.
Yup, this definitely looks better than No Strings Attached
Not usually into these kinds of movies, but this one looks decent, and I’ll see it for Mila Kunis, who I’ve had a crush on for over a decade now.
Jenna Elfman plays Timberlake’s mother??? Was she 10 when she had him?
I was hoping she’s playing his sister.
Relax: Jenna Elfman plays the sister.
Seriously! Why is she playing the mom? They couldn’t find another actress around Patricia Clarkson’s age?
Justin looks like he’s in his late 30s. Jenna looks younger than him. This movie looks lame.
Ya that was a bit odd. But I am also hoping that Jenna is JT’s sister rather than mother. Or step-mother.
I actually really liked No Strings Attached. And frankly, I’ll take Natalie Portman over Mila Kunis any day of the week.
This looks pretty funny. I never really liked Mila Kunis, but she has really redeemed herself recently.
Now we need Barabara Hershey as a widow in the mature version of the story, maybe with Harrison Ford, as a jaded divorcee;they meet and decide to have gloriously uncomplicated senior-citizen sex We already had Natalie in NSA, and Mila in this.
After that, maybe we can get Vincent Cassel and Marion Cotillard in the French-language remix of this thing.
mila and justin will start dating soon
Chemistry definately POPS with these 2 more than Ashton and Natalie…Plus luv me some JT!
I ain’t taking no ferry…unless it’s out out to dinner and a movie. Oh my god, I laughed way too hard at that.
I think I will definitely see this in the actual theater. I really like Mila Kunis, and of course I never got over my love of Justin from my nsync-filled youth
okay, so if the movie is as funny as the trailer (which made me laugh out loud) then I am definitely going to go see this. Most Rom-Coms Hollywood has come out with lately are rehashed retreads and not funny at all (save the Proposal). Nice!
Mila Kunis is no Natalie Portman. Justin Timberlake cannot act to save his life. Ashton Kutcher is much hotter.
semisonic in the trailer = win in my book
