Never really friends or lovers, they keep crossing paths, until one day they decide to finally have sex. It is fun, and they realize they can just be friends with benefits. Although this is more Emma\u2019s idea than Adam\u2019s, he decides to go with it and live every guy\u2019s fantasy: a no-strings-attached, sexual relationship with a beautiful woman. But Emma is smart, funny and just different, and it doesn\u2019t take long for Adam to want more. And while Emma is also developing feelings for him, she just can\u2019t risk getting hurt. She keeps sabotaging the chances of a relationship. Will Adam settle for the friends with thing, or will he keep challenging Emma?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Details and the Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On the surface, the movie doesn\u2019t seem to offer something new or very interesting. The trailer is sort of funny, but to be honest, I never expected the movie to be this funny. It is often quite hilarious, with some laugh-out-loud moments. Also the trailer hides one of the movie\u2019s biggest gems &#8211; <a title=\"Review of the fun drama The Big Chill starring Kevin Kline, Glenn Close, William Hurt &amp; Jeff Goldblum\" href=\"http:\/\/pinartarhan.com\/blog\/the-big-chill-starring-kevin-kline-glenn-close-and-william-hurt\/\">Kevin Kline<\/a> as Adam\u2019s father. Kline plays a morally corrupt (watch the movie to see what he does:)), but loving, weed-smoking famous actor whose fame, and TV show lines, keep haunting Adam. Adam also has to deal with the \u201cwisdom\u201d of his two best friends, Wallace (Ludacris), Eli (Jake M. Johnson).<\/p>\n<p>This movie is full of great one-liners, funny characters, good comedic timing as well as some decent physical comedy on Ashton\u2019s part. Our Oscar-winning Natalie doesn\u2019t disappoint in a comedy. And while Ashton does run the risk of being typecast as the funny but hunky romantic lead, I have no complaints here. The guy knows how to entertain his audience.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, just like almost every romantic comedy, this one has a happy ending. But with romcoms, it is almost always about the journey of the couple, and this one offers a very entertaining one at that. It does inevitably get romantic (and emotional) on occasion, but this doesn\u2019t take away from all the moments it made you grin and laugh.<\/p>\n<p>See it. Currently, 6.3 on IMDB.\u00a0 I think it deserves a 7.<\/p>\n<p>Written by Elizabeth Meriwether &amp; Michael Samonek. \u00a0Directed by Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters series, Six Days Seven Nights).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fun note:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Boston Legal\u2019s Lake Bell co-stars as Adam\u2019s neurotic and talkative friend\/co-worker.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite lines:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adam &amp; Emma are having sex anytime, anywhere.
