Sexe entre amis

Qui aurait dit en début d'année que le flirt non contraignant entre Mily et Justin serait plus spontané, plus sympathique et plus sincère que le flirt non contraignant entre Natalie et Ashton... (21/09/2011)

Timberlake is very good, Mila is classically beautiful but as likeable as an uptight social worker. Otherwise, the whole thing felt like a compilation of bad jokes and clichéd situations and motifs (the ill father). (28/08/2011)

There is a little bit of life in there, and it's fluffed up by the skillful screenwriter into a very effective dialogue whirlwind. Unfortunately, at the end, the film is hurt by exactly what it had been making fun of for more than two-thirds of its runtime, i.e., the tired clichés of all romantic films far and wide. However, thanks to the great actors, it reminded me that even men have a delicate sensitive soul that can be touched sometimes. :) [The bad thing is that the only significant impression I have the day after watching it is Mila Kunis’ absolutely luxurious character.] (19/01/2012)

Will Gluck is completing a hat trick of excellent romantic comedies. He's not afraid of more vulgar words, daring scenes, and excellent pop culture references, and he nails it. At the moment, he's still at the top with a minus sign, but he already feels at home in the genre. He doesn't let up in the rhythm of jokes, and his romantic declarations come naturally to him (see the underrated Easy A). And when those jokes are salted with chemistry-infused dialogues performed perfectly by Justin and Mila, audience satisfaction is at its peak. Despite being the least thematically distinctive work by Gluck, it paradoxically excels in technical aspects and pace. I also enjoy the weaker 90%. (25/09/2011)

The combination of the beautiful Mila and the likeable Justin is incredibly great. At times (often, actually) they looked really charming together. And Justin Timberlake finally showed that he can act. The whole plot is engaging and full of fresh jokes and situations. It didn't lack naturalness and flair. Unexpectedly, it also beats Kutcher and Portman for me. I'm tempted to overrate it for the sake of cuteness alone; 4.5 stars. (08/01/2012)

Entertaining and almost unexpectedly sincere. Unlike the cheap pulp with Natalia that was filmed in this country about six months ago. Although Mila can be a little strange at times, Justin Timberlake rocks again. Although the concluding melodrama is over the top, even there we can find some tongue-in-cheek moments that show that this movie doesn’t take itself too seriously after all. A well-made snack.

The non-violent banter between Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis is unusually charming and authentic, and it exudes an unbelievably positive energy that the main characters cleverly spice up with an unprecedented pack of spicy dialogues and clever linguistic tricks. And as long as it successfully suppresses all those generic romcoms of the past decade, everything is fine. Unfortunately, inevitably, there has to be a resolution and in the last act and suddenly we find ourselves a step lower, that is, in the category of a quality romantic comedy that fails to offer anything extra and does not embellish the constantly evolving genre in any way.

What more could you ask for than a smiling Mila Kunis, whose beautiful eyes could disarm Rambo in the middle of a Vietnamese siege? Director Gluck had a very easy job this time, and I really enjoyed this otherwise quite routine and uncommitted romantic comedy. 80% (20/09/2012)

Bien meilleur que Sex Friends, mais ce n'est toujours pas glorieux. Tout cela suit, du début à la fin, une formule déjà vue. Les personnages secondaires, parmi lesquels le parfait Woody Harrelson règne sans conteste, m'ont presque tous paru beaucoup plus sympathiques et crédibles que les protagonistes principaux. Ce gars est tout simplement divin. De plus, je m'attendais à quelque chose de plus drôle, même si la blague avec l'application mobile pour identifier les « jours des femmes » est parfaite.

I was secretly hoping for someone to finally bring a new angle to the romantic comedy genre, but I was disappointed yet again. The filmmakers slavishly copied the established format. Apart from a decent cast, there was practically nothing to be excited about. Actually, there was something. I was glad that there wasn’t too much pathos to wade through at the end. I was also surprised that there weren’t that many funny moments; I would expect some given that it was a comedy. (03/03/2018)
