Yes, as far as sex comedy is concerned, "Friends with Benefits" doesn't have enough dew points, and it doesn't even make you dumbfounded and bloody, but it has an extraordinary movie-watching experience.
There are actually only three bed scenes in this film, but they are enough. Will Gluck not only takes the sex of "Friends with Benefits" as a selling point, but also shows the attitude of contemporary men and women towards the next relationship after facing emotional setbacks.
The two advances and two retreats in the relationship between Dylan and Jamie in the film are the main line of the film. From the initial acquaintance, to mutual venting, to conflicts and entanglements, they finally agree. In fact, it just magnifies a very ordinary 419 relationship, but it is very popular.
Think about the love comedies of previous years, the more popular "Eavesdropping on Women's Hearts", "Roman Love", "Elixir of Love" and so on. In fact, they all have the same thing, that is, emotional entanglements. It seems that the current audience likes the tangled plot. The more the protagonist is tangled, the more natural the viewing experience... "Friends with Benefits" also happens to take advantage of this point, which is also a point that many people criticize its old-fashioned plot.
In order not to make the plot look thin, I deliberately added the opening large-scale flash mob, and also added the popular gay plot. I have to admit that when I saw these two places, I actually smiled knowingly, and used the oriental temperament. Mila Kunis and muscular guy Justin Timberlake, both in terms of the title and the picture, this makes it look more visible. It can be seen that Will Gluck still made a lot of effort to attract the audience's attention. Even with mixed reviews, at least I think in this year's romantic comedy, "Friends with Benefits" is much better than "No Strings Attached" and "Bad Teacher".
