No Strings Attached Review ~ A decent comedy, nothing more

Well after surviving Black Swan, Natalie Portman is know in a comedy with Ashton Kutcher. Strangely, the couple kinda works.

No Strings Attached is about two friends who almost ruin everything when they have sex one morning. So they decide to keep Love out of the picture, in order to protect their friendship. Think of it as a open relationship kinda thing. But the ultimate question is, can you have sex without love getting in the way?

The whole concept of this film sounds like some hooker prostitute kind of thing. But the script of No Strings Attached holds up and is able to use some clever turns in situations along with some jokes that are pretty dirty, but funny. (think Hangover raunchy). But besides from a few jokes, the movie isn't all that dirty, I'm surprised it got the rated R rating.

Other times the script is a little to predicable and blend. The first two acts of the film hold up pretty well, but the last act, where one scene takes forever to end.

But overall, you have a decent comedy with some pretty good acting talent. Some jokes hit, some miss. If this is your type of movie, then I am sure you will like it, but otherwise, its a ok one to miss to.
