No Strings Attached


Movie: No Strings Attached
Cast:    Natalie Portman          (Emma)
            Ashton Kutcher          (Adam)
Genre: Romantic comedy
Synopsis: Emma and Adam first met 15 years ago at summer camp.  They meet up again when Adam is on the rebound from a girl (who is now dating his father) and Emma has her M.D. and is interning at a hospital.  Emma has an aversion to personal relationships, but discovers she enjoys sex with Adam.  She proposes that they be “friends with benefits”.  Naturally, one of them breaks the deal by falling in love.

My two cents: I normally do not care much for Ashton Kutcher’s movie characters.  By the end of the movie, I actually liked his Adam character.  There was some nice off-beat humor.  Kevin Kline was great as Adam’s famous actor father. Natalie Portman was great, as always.

This movie will probably not be up for a lot of awards, but I found it to be entertaining with a nice ending.
