I actually had a few laughs, and didnt really epect this kind of movie not to have kliche. But again, I was pretty disappointed when in the end we had to watch the lead's sister (a totally unimportant character who appeared in maybe 2 scenes during the movie) while having a child, without any epidural, screaming! This was solely to insult women and make men laugh at us!
... View Morethis was a movie about meaningless sex but for some reason was one of my favorite movies. It was well paced,thought out and extremely enjoyable. The casting choices for nearly every actor and actress was spot on and they fit there roles perfectly. The chemistry between Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman was amazing and they seemed so perfect for each other. They looked like the enjoyed working together and at times kept the movie together solely on there connection to each other. This film also had a great balance between crude humor and well thought out jokes that fit smoothly into the dialog of the story. One of the best movies I have seen by far and is just so enjoyable to watch. It is quite predictable but in such a good way. After watching it I wanted to watch it again because it was so enjoyable and funny.
... View MoreThe problem with this 2011 film that I see is with the writing. Would you want a doctor-to-be such as Natalie Portman portrays in this film? She is a sex-driven character who has known the Ashton Kutcher character from childhood at certain interludes of their life. Imagine saying to Kutcher when they're young adults: Come with me tomorrow. Tomorrow is the place where she brings Kutcher to her father's funeral.Portman is almost churlish in her performance. She also has a dragging craggy-like voice which can become annoying at times. The lady is a whiner in every sense of the word.Kevin Kline, who portrays Kutcher's father in the film, has the best line at picture's end when he describes to his son, while hospitalized, how we fall in love.They call these things romantic comedy. To me, it's nothing more than romantic nonsense with 2 young adults determining that their relationship shall be for physical use only. The premise here is ridiculous.
... View MoreWell, this movie offers to change course of a relationship: usually, the couple meets, discovers each other and finally expresses their communion in an intimate relationship. Here, it's the opposite: they begin with intercourse and they want to achieve more. Well, this idea leaves me completely cold, as I don't want such experience. And what to say about a father and son sharing the same girl? It's a comedy and I'm supposed to laugh? And for sure, all the characters that fall ill go to the hospital where Nathalie works. No way for that BS...Then, the movie is the 8 462 512 same used cliché about i love you – i don't love you – i miss you... No way it happens like this in reality and i really don't understand why Hollywood keeps making such empty, disconnected movies?In addition, the story involves as usual, privileged families that have outstanding occupation: famous college, medical intern, movies assistant! For me, it's the sure choice to suffocate any emotions. At last, the casting is awful: Kuchner is among my list of worst actor ever: he hasn't changed since he ruined "a lot like love" with Amanda! Not a funny line, close to a slug. Now, Natalie is totally wasted here: when you make a movie about sex, you find the adequate actress (= Sharon Stone in "basic instinct"). Here, with all the deep intelligence and education Natalie has, i can't believe her drinking, having sex just for sex and saying the big words. She is much more worthy than this kind of character. The ice of the cake was to discover that it was a Reitman's movie! In conclusion, one of his worst and the same for Natalie!
