Friends With Benefits is what one would call a "chick flick," albeit a more raunchier one. It stars former boy bander Justin "I'm Bringin' Sexy Back!" Timberlake--who, if you'll recall, also starred in the earlier-reviewed film Bad Teacher (and who's actually a pretty decent actor)--and Mila Kunis (of That '70s Show fame). Justin and Mila play "friends" who, after going through bad break-ups, decide to just have sex with each other and skip all the emotional baggage that comes (pardon the pun!) with being in relationships. Well, after bumping uglies for a period of time (and rather hilariously, I might add!), things get complicated (of course!) and they both wind up having feelings for each other (again, of course!). Now, at this point, I don't have to tell you how the flick turns out, do I? Although Friends With Benefits is pretty much your standard "chick flick" fare and you can pretty much guess the plot as you're watching it, it's actually not a bad film and is more tolerable--and, of course, raunchier!--than other so-called "chick flicks" and you can watch it with your gal without feeling too whipped in the process. Mila also shows some skin in the flick, although she does have a butt double (while, unfortunately for us fellas, Justin DOESN'T).
