Friends with Benefits

Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Theater
Time I Started Movie: Primetime

So Mila Kunis is hot.  And Justin Timberlake is funny.  However, I think JT tried too hard to be funny in the movie, like he does with his SNL skits.  I thought the movie was very cliche and you could predict the ending without having even watched a preview.  It did have it's funny moments, so this is one of those movies that you wait to Netflix.  I don't recommend you watch it with a "fwb" though because then you might have to have a conversation that you don't want to have.

So there was a lot of hype around this movie, and I'm a big fan of JJ Abrams and Spielberg, so I also had some high expectations for the movie.  Overall, the movie wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.  I just think this genre is overdone.  The best parts of the movie were the fat kid who was funny and Elle Fanning, who is just as good as her sister Dakota Fanning.  I think you can save your money and wait for the BluRay.  There wasn't anything "special" that warrants you paying $10 to watch it in the theater.

After watching a lot of crap movies, I decided to watch the 2011 Oscar winner.  I initially didn't want to watch it because I thought it'd be like typical Oscar winners where it's slow and no one appreciates it but old white men like Woody Allen.  Anyhow, I was very pleasantly surprised.  The movie was very enjoyable; I stayed awake the whole time, and it was funny too.  Definitely recommend this movie!
