Apart from some always-welcome music from Semisonic, the trailer was a bit of a dud!

Well I will be watching this especially for Mila Kunis, and there is always Mr. Timberlake to keep the females occupied.
It doesn't look too bad really. Should be a bit of light hearted fun.

I watched Easy A yesterday, the current film from the director of FWB, and I really enjoyed it. This looks pretty good and according to IMDB Emma Stone is in it which is nice.

Looks terrible, sorry just my opinion OP

Good to hear Easy A is getting good reviews, the trailer looked great, will check it out

As it is the same director I will check it out also

I prefer JT to Kutcher

Richard Dower

Looking forward to seeing Easy A on DVD.

^ Kunis agrees to a date while promoting her movie

just saw it there, pretty much by the numbers stuff, a nice excess of skin though for everyone:D,

i like JT and MK and thought they played well off each other,

even though its by the numbers its clearly an above average romcom

I thought this one looked better than No Strings Attached (bear in mind this is based on the trailers for both).

I will probably see this one though. I'm kind of looking forward to it.

If Justin Timberlake you can be sure that it is going to be absolute ****e. He should stick to making music.

Have to admit, I thought he was great in Alphadog and The Social Network.

meh. to each their own and all that though

let me guess, they end up together at the end just like all chick flicks, why can't there be more alternative endings, 500 days of summer wasn't bad in comparison

oompaloompa

Saw this last night...not bad... easy to watch

well he has been well praised for his acting ability, but its not that hes a brilliant actor its just the fact that hes not terrible is what surprises most people,

same could be said for action flicks or horror movies. Although something new is refreshing, IMO I'm always looking forward to the same formula so that I can shut down at the end of a day's work etc and just enjoy the film. If FWB ends up using this formula I'll be happy.

Kunis and Timberlake have great chemistry which helps make this one of the better romcoms imo and Woody Harrelson as JT's character's gay friend is a hoot "I'm strictly dickly"

Savman

Really enjoyed this, not your usual rom com and the leading pair are great.

Mila Kunis...hoohaa.

hes a cool guy

As romcoms go it's actually pretty good and it's not afraid to poke fun at some of the genre conventions either. Could not fault either of the leads, woody harrelson was hilarious and got a good kic out of the

shaun white

cameo.

What a dire film. Wasted two hours of my life on this. Tries to be cool by poking fun at other films and actors but its just like them a silly unfunny film . Save youself the bother and watch the trailer.

I dont think I laughed during the first hour of the film. A sex comedy without sex or comedy.

Thank you! the movie couldnt have been any more predictable, painful or cliched. It uses these upbeat musical montages every 2 minutes, then they throw in an alzhimers father to add some humanity to the film to justify it even though they used the sex to sell it to people in the first place. The characters were such ponces as well, ooohh... up and coming hip "unconventional" executives in the big city. Wish we saw planet of the apes instead. Justin Timberlake, I want my damn money back
