It's just a time pass movie. Lead actors have done a decent job. Finally I got to watch the movie after 7 years of its release. Still much improvement should have been fine for the script

It is interesting, to this reviewer, how the IMDb membership tends to sometimes voice concerns that the mainstream reviewers miss or overlook.The mainstream critics (which you check for yourself, link on the title for this film) either felt that the script worked and produced an entertaining movie -- or that the script failed, and the movie lacked punch.Almost universally, however, Ms. Portman's performance was praised. Some felt, in fact, that it carried the entire movie (Kutcher's career, like that former romantic lead Freddie Prinze, tends to veer more toward "straight man" ie, as merely the "sparkplug" for whomever he is playing against.) Here on IMDb however I find reviews that go further than the mainstream critics, and actually seemed annoyed at Ms. Portman for taking the role in the first place...? As if the role (or the movie, or the script) was beneath her? In the opinion of this reviewer, Ms. Portman 'is' the movie. The script is OK -- perhaps with some excellent moments here and there, both verbal and slapstick -- and the co-stars are also merely OK.But it is the comic timing and willingness of Ms. Portman to throw herself 100% into such an initially weak character ... and the make that character stronger and more interesting than the scriptwriter ever imagined. This is what carries the film, and this is what holds it together and makes it work.I will add to this review the same remark I penned recently in another review of a so-called "High Concept" Hollywood comedy -- Ghost Town 2008 --- namely that, at the end of the day, when this film goes into the great digital archive and becomes available to viewers of the future (as in, two generations from now or more), the sneers from today's viewers will fade away and be replaced by the observation that, like Tea Leoni, Ms. Portman simply did not do enough films to satisfy her fans.

this 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.

Well, 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!
