Romance. Comedy The relationship between two friends gets complicated when they decide to get romantic. Taltented web art director Dylan (Justin Timberlake) and headhunter Jamie (Mila Kunis) think it's going to be easy to add the simple act of sex to their friendship, despite what Hollywood romantic comedies would have them believe. They soon discover however that getting physical really does always lead to complications.

	Author	Review
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"An uneven comedy that takes full advantage of the charm and palpable chemistry between Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"The 'Scream' of romantic comedies (...) The results are about as naughty as that sounds (not very), but it also makes for a fairly giggling good time!"	POS
United States	Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times	"Even with all their huffing and puffing, this very salty, often funny affair is never quite as satisfying as it should be"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"The script exhausts its originality awfully quickly, with subsequent hookups recycling jokes from other movies"	NEG
United States	Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	"If 'Friends With Benefits' ultimately succumbs to the very sins it so cleverly deconstructs, it still commits those infractions with a welcome degree of wit (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Friends With Benefits follows rom-com formulas as if directed on autopilot, but that's not to say it isn't fun. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
