Weekend Movie Preview: No Strings Attached

Posted by Lauren | Friday January 21, 2011

Happy Friday! Feel like hitting the theatres tonight? This week the new rom-com "No Strings Attached", starring our girl Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher, asks the classic question: Can two friends be bed buddies and nothing more?

Emma (Portman) has been burned too many times to count, and as a busy doctor has no time for a full relationship. Adam, played by Kutcher, has just gotten out of a bad relationship and is happy to be unattached. Predictably, they decide to become Friends With Benefits - no strings attached.

The script, written by Elizabeth Meriwether promises to be "unabashedly naughty, liberally laced with swear words, casual drug use and unsentimental horniness" says The Star.

Check out the trailer:

What do you guys think? Are you excited to see Natalie Portman in a romantic comedy after Black Swan?

p.s. Mila Kunis will be starring in her own FWB-themed flick this summer, called "Friends With Benefits". Interesting coinkydink, no?

Also, who makes these movie names up? Come on.

Plus I was impressed once again with Natalie's acting skills, she transitioned flawlessly from drama to comedy. It was definitely worth the gift card we used to go see it ;)
