No Strings Attached

No Strings Attached

Rating 6.5 out of 10

I saw this movie mostly to spend time with the wife.  I don't see a group of guys getting together and one of them saying "you want to go see No Strings Attached?".  Still it was a mildly entertaining couple hours.  If you watch the commercial you pretty much get what you expect.

Natalie Portman plays a busy young doctor that has no time for a boyfriend she just wants to have sex.  No Strings Attached.  No courting, cuddling or any of that couples stuff.  Amazingly enough this young attractive female finds a male to agree to these terms.  Enter Ashton Kutcher.  The two met 15 years earlier in a summer camp and are reunited later in sunny Los Angeles.  He agrees to the terms but finds it hard not to become attached.  You can guess the rest.

The movie has funny parts yet not as many as I expected.  Most of which I had seen in the commercials several times.  You can't call Kutcher a good actor but he is entertaining.  Cassie enjoyed the naked butt shot he gives early in the movie.  Natalie Portman is a good actor no doubt.  She is pretty too even though she is so tiny she often looks like a little girl beside the much taller Kutcher.

If you are looking for a simple date movie with a couple likable lead actors and some decent supporting actors you could do worse than this one.  Obviously it's not for kids.  Crude at times but except for Kutcher's bare butt no nudity.  I was also glad it wasn't full of profanity.
