No Strings Attached (2011)

Overrated and overhyped

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Movie Marathon V.3 # 120The only factor that made me to watch this movie is the gorgeous "NATALIE PORTMAN". Synopsis A typical romance drama revolves around Emma and Adam who opts sex over relationship but when time flies by they realizes that their relationship grew to something more intimate.No Strings Attached & Friends with Benefits shares the same story in which No Strings Attached were released some 5 months earlier to the latter. But i have watched the latter earlier. Even though i didn't felt bore watching this movie, thanks to the screen presence of Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher and also pretty good direction by Ivan Reitman. The story could have been better and some of the scenes mainly during their break-up was not even convincing and more lot of scenes were not convincing, felt like they made those scenes just to increase time..Natalie delivered overall good performance, she was pretty good in her romantic expressions and also in emotional scenes. Ashton Kutcher was also good but was overshadowed by Natalie. Kevin Kline who played Ashton's Father who is a womanizer was very funny. The background score and especially the songs were also good.Wholly, the movie is not a messy one, but not a masterpiece / great film. but is a time pass watch for NPMy rating 6.0 on 10

For starters, the answer for that question is because I expected a funny, light, sit-down-and-laugh comedy. But what'd I get? A boring, slow, and simply very bad teaching-movie-wannabe.I think the fact that I wanted to stop watching even after about 20 minutes kind of describes my image of this film. It was very hard to not do so, because the movie was full of boring, bad cut scenes which are often awkward, too. I could not laugh at all.I suspect the main problem here is that it wanted to be too serious. It certainly shouldn't have. The theme just doesn't allow that, at least not for a this kind of movie without a really surprising twist in the story. This is why the movie was so slow, instead of funny. This atmosphere spoiled the jokes. The creators must've felt it, and that's why they made a pathetic attempt after the actual ending (which, of course, is a predictable one).It also lacks a lot when it comes to the characters. They're very unnatural and badly depicted. The best example for that is Adam'coworker. I absolutely could not understand her part in the movie. The acting was also bad, but it hardly could've been better with other actors.Overall, I found this movie to be very artificial and empty. I advise you don't watch especially if you want a comedy. A better choice'd be Friends with Benefits of this kind.

Another predictable, rehashed romantic comedy. I'm pretty sure I saw the exact same movie in "Friends With Benefits". Anyways. In this version long-time friends Adam (Ashton Kutcher) and Emma (Natalie Portman) attempt to sleep together without bringing commitment (no strings) into the equation but true love enters the picture and complicates their plan (duh). On the plus side Portman and Kutcher's chemistry together did seem genuine and I enjoyed Portman's quirky character. There are a few amusing moments (the period mix CD) and I enjoyed Kevin Cline as Kutchers sleazy Dad, but a throwaway, forgettable movie all the way round. 11.13

No really, i've seen overcooked vegetables do a better job.It's flat, not funny, but most of all disappointing. The plot in IMDb was not convincing, but the cast looked promising so I thought, let's watch. Although each of the lead actors have already proved they can act, this was an awful performance by all of them. No sparkling, no chemistry, nothing. I tried to watch, but after some twenty minutes of hoping, I gave up and zapped through the rest in a few minutes and that was even to much.And about the 6.1, the only excuse I can think of is that a lot of people with absolutely no idea how a romcom should be made, have rated this movie. If only I could rate it negative.
