NO STRINGS ATTACHED
May 16, 2011
This romantic comedy is one that should only be viewed if you like romantic comedies. This romantic comedy is one that you should view if sexual humor is your thing. The film has some sexual humor along with some good actors and good story. I enjoyed this film a lot and it did better than i had expected it to do. This film is for those romantic comedy lovers not for you who want to see Natalie Portman Naked in which case you are out of luck. Ivan Reitmann has given us some great films such as "Ghostbusters 1 and 2 and the excellent film "Up In The Air". Now he brings to us this romantic comedy that is worth checking into.This film can go down as another one of my great romantic comedy films that i have seen next to "Love And Other Drugs" which was just as great as this romantic comedy. In both films the drama is great and this film really shows a lot of character development which was great for this type of film. The plot to this romantic comedy is as follows. Ashton Kutcher plays Adam who has been in love with his friend Emma for some time now. Ever since the day Emma played by Natalie Portman denied Adam the chance to have sex with her at summer camp Adam has had Emma on his mind. Years later the two friends meet again at a shopping center and after seeing each other once decide to hang out. This leads to later events which then lead into Adam And Emma sleeping together. They decide to use each other for sex only because a relationship is not what they want. Hence the name and phrase "No Strings Attached because it is just done quickly and there is no emotional love involved. Adam's true love for Emma begins to show and the film goes on with Emma playing hard to get and Adam playing the chaser of love. The film had a great story and the plot was solid with good drama mixed in. I enjoyed this film better than i thought i would. My favorite scene in this film is the opening scene in which Young Adam and young Emma are sitting together in summer camp and Adam being a teenager asks if he can finger or have sex with Emma. This scene is hilarious because he wants to have sex with Emma so bad that his last attempt is "Can I Finger You"?? The film is a great romantic comedy and i recommend it for fans of Ivan Reitman or just romantic comedies in general.
