MOVIE REVIEW

“No Strings Attached”

Ivan Reitman – whose directing career (“Ghostbusters”) is really so very very long within the tooth which he really features a son, Jason, directing Oscar-worthy comedies – has their outing that is best in years with “No Strings Attached,” an amusing flip for the “friends with advantages” sex-leads-to-love romantic comedy formula.

It really is a film profiting from another gleaming, sexy and emotionally available performance by Natalie Portman, some clever turns in circumstances and witty banter that’s not bashful about crossing over into “Hangover”-level raunchy.

Elizabeth Meriwether’s script has that “(500) times of summer time” gimmick, telling the story with this couple in clumps more than a 15-year duration. Super-smart Emma met hunky-needy Adam at summer time camp, long ago whenever, plus they had a fling that is momentary. A decade later on, they meet once more while the pretty, flirty Emma (Portman) invites Adam to “this thing” she’s got to visit. It really is her dad’s funeral. But dopey-handsome Adam (Ashton Kutcher, never cast against type) does not hear the “she is take off from her thoughts” warning bells, even if she confesses, “If you are happy, you are never ever gonna see me personally once again.”

Another possibility encounter years later causes a change of telephone numbers.

Then, that magical evening as soon as the child drunk-dials the lady then one starts. But try not to phone it a romance that is thoroughly modern. Emma, now A mit-trained physician, will not have that. She actually is busy. Continua a leggere
