	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"After the heavy dramatic lifting of 'Black Swan', you can't fault Oscar favorite Natalie Portman for signing up for some romcom (...) It's too bad she couldn't have landed a less generic vehicle than 'No Strings Attached' (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Its premise is so much more transgressive than its execution (...) As the wheels of the plot creak and groan, we're like kids in the back seat, asking, 'Are we there yet?' (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG

United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"A vulgar, stupid pile of junk (...) Portman is herself partly to blame. Nobody with an upwardly mobile career who is suddenly being taken seriously should co-star in a movie with Ashton Kutcher.	NEG
United States	Joe Morgenstern The Wall Street Journal	"Ivan Reitman directed, with great verve and unflagging finesse, from a terrifically funny script (...) It's a smart, sexy romcom"	POS
