Johnson, Lake Bell, Guy Brannum<br \/>\nGenre: Comedy, Romance<br \/>\nMPAA Rating: R (for sexual content, language and some drug material)<\/p>\n<p>Headline: \u201cFriends with Benefits\u201d Mate in Crude Romantic Comedy<\/p>\n<p>Adam (Ashton Kutcher) and Emma (Natalie Portman) have been close since they forged an enduring friendship at sleep-away summer camp as adolescents. Back then, she was the shoulder he leaned on during his parents\u2019 divorce, although she did rebuff his advances when he attempted to make an awkward pass.<\/p>\n<p>Emma politely explained that she just wasn\u2019t an affectionate person, since she believed that, \u201cPeople aren\u2019t meant to be together.\u201d As a result, it\u2019s no surprise that their relationship remained Platonic for the next 14 years, through high school and college, and the launch of their professional careers.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, they both live in Los Angeles, where Emma\u2019s been putting in 80 hours weeks as a resident at Westwood Teaching Hospital. Always on call, the very busy doctor simply doesn\u2019t really have the time to date, even if she were inclined. As for Adam, he\u2019s an aspiring scriptwriter employed by a Hollywood studio.<\/p>\n<p>The plot thickens soon after he\u2019s dumped by his girlfriend, Vanessa (Ophelia Lovibond), who leaves him for his famous father, Alvin Franklin (Kevin Kline), the star of a hit TV show called \u201cGreat Scott!\u201d Despondent Adam ventures down to his local watering hole where he cries in his beer about being stuck in his dad\u2019s shadow.<\/p>\n<p>And on the advice of his street-smart bartender (Ludacris), he decides to proposition every female whose number he has stored in his cell phone (\u201cDo you have a place where I can put my boner?\u201d) until one finally invites him over. The next day, he awakens hung over and naked in an unfamiliar apartment, with no memory of what just transpired. Turns out it\u2019s Emma\u2019s place, and she\u2019s less concerned with being respected in the morning than with establishing the ground rules, namely, that they\u2019ll \u201cjust use each other for sex at all hours of the day and night, nothing else!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Can two lifelong friends suddenly start sleeping together without developing deeper feelings? That is the carnal proposition posed by No Strings Attached, a romantic comedy in reverse from the legendary Ivan Reitman, director of such screen classics as Stripes (1981) Ghostbusters (1984) and Twins (1988). For instead of following the genre\u2019s familiar formula where the stars remain chaste until they\u2019re ready to ride off \u201chappily ever after\u201d into the proverbial sunset together, here the question is whether love will blossom in spite of their having already mated repeatedly.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, No Strings Attached suffers from two fatal flaws. First, there\u2019s precious little nudity other than marshmallow-assed Ashton Kutcher\u2019s dimpled derriere (not my fantasy),  which seems a tad tame for a flick revolving around a couple of constantly-copulating \u201cFriends with Benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, the film trades in a terribly coarse brand of humor ostensibly-designed to shock the audience. From the word \u201cWHORE\u201d emblazoned on the panties of a college coed at a pajama party, to an Asian stagehand (Matthew Moy) inexplicably exposing himself to young actresses on a set, to an East Indian M.D. (Mindy Kaling) referring to herself and her colleagues as \u201cdirty, dirty sluts,\u201d to another doctor\u2019s (Greta Gerwig) describing her period as \u201ca crime scene in my pants,\u201d every joke is cruder than last and fails to elicit any laughs.<\/p>\n<p>A vulgar exercise in depravity radiating such bad karma that you\u2019ll need to take a cleansing shower right after watching it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No Strings Attachedby Kam Williams Studio: Paramount Pictures Director: Ivan Reitman Screenwriter: Elizabeth Meriwether Starring: Natalie Portman, Ashton Kutcher, Cary Elwes, Kevin Kline, Greta Gerwig, Ophelia Lovibond, Ben Lawson, Chris Bridges, Olivia Thirlby, Jake M.
