No Strings Attached (2011)
I'll hate to admit it but I really, really enjoyed it. There may have been a growing trend in Hollywood these days for Hollywood to churn out R-rated comedies that are so tame that one has to wonder why the studios insisted on keeping the R-rating that would have hindered the film's commercial prospects. No Strings Attached happens to be the second film in less than a year that falls in to the aforementioned category (the first being Going the Distance) and like the former, both films unnecessarily spices things up by adding scenes depicting some 'raunchy' dry humping as well as exploring unconventional forms of maintaining relationships. There are many things going against the film. Many of the jokes and sexual innuendos are the sort that belongs in the 'been-there-done-that' category and I cannot help but wonder if the film had a better lead opposite Natalie Portman, we would have had a great film. Ashton Kutcher is so bland that much of the film is carried by Portman's strong performance. Physically, Kutcher looks a chiseled specimen fit to be Michelangelo's subject but unfortunately, Kutcher is no match opposite Portman and the pair rarely hit the same notes (all of it due to Kutcher's limitations as an actor). The supporting actors behind Portman do whatever is required to provide little gags here and there and special praise to Ludacris who never fails me up whenever he is on screen. People have mentioned many a time on how Natalie Portman resembles a young Audrey Hepburn and I never really believed that to be so apart from some physical resemblance. And in my defense, of all the films in Portman's filmography, she has either been brilliant (Leon, V for Vendetta, Closer and Black Swan or mind-numbingly annoying and boring (Star Wars, Star Wars and Star Wars). It is hard for me to say more and not spoil the film but Natalie Portman at the end of the film shows shades of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast in Tiffany's.In No Strings Attached, I believe she shows her that fun and sexy side that we have not seen from her previously in the same way Hepburn let loose in Roman Holiday. It is easy to see why she has taken on such roles and personally, I am glad to see her taking on such roles in this film and the upcoming Your Highness even if they end up being box-office bombs. No Strings Attached is an incredibly frustrating film to watch as Natalie Portman deserves better in this film. If the film had a better lead actor, if the script was a little tighter (there is one minor 'jealousy' subplot between Portman's male doctor colleague and Adam that is never developed and ends up being very pointless) and if the film ditched the pointless R-rating, I am convinced that No Strings Attached would have been a much larger commercial success and a better film at that. I believe that No Strings Attached happens to be Ivan Reitman's best film since Junior but if you were to look at his filmography since that film, you would realise that it is not much of a compliment. 7/10 (most of the 7 points lies in Portman's performance that undoubtedly makes the film). NOTE: I don't think there has been a thread on this film. Would like to hear more opinions. Last edited by Evra; 02-13-2011 at 04:43 PM. |

I was going to pick up The Social Network and Buried tomorrow. But considering people are saying the UK edition has the screen cropped, I'm thinking of waiting on Buried and picking up a deal on 2 for £20 instead. What should I do, and what should I try and pick up.

A River Runs Through It - 5/5
Masterpiece set in Montana, centered around a preacher and his two vastly different sons. One is a disciplined, intelligent young man who becomes a professor, the other is a wild, fantastic fisherman who tends to get in trouble. Probably the best movie Robert Redford has directed, highly recommended to all who love movies about nature and fishing. ![]() |

Next greatest rental: “Seven Pounds.” I don’t know why it was on my list; I think I did it just to submit for a draw for a free rental. Whatever.
This is another fine heart-wrenching drama with one or two important messages. It is stylish, and bit intense, and moves at an adequate pace. There are quite a few interesting scenes here and there, and it all collectively presents some themes and ideas worth thinking about. I don’t find it 100% thrilling, but it is worthwhile seeing. I feel that the story is rather uneventful, and at first glance the main character seemed very unlikable. But as it goes on, the character takes on a shape and form that the audience can’t help but to feel sympathetic towards. It also becomes clear that the film has a strong spiritual basis, with themes of life, death, redemption, and selflessness. At times there are individual scenes and lines that brilliantly underscore these ideas. Otherwise, it feels a bit aimless, especially with the use of staggered flashbacks and flashy editing. As a film, it features quality photography with some gorgeous imagery at times. Will Smith and all other actors are good in their respective roles. Production value is good. Music is smooth (I especially loved hearing Muse’s rendition of “Feeling Good” in the mix). In the end, as expected, this is a drama that I’m sure most other folks will love, but I find a little dull. 3.5/5 (entertainment: 3/5, story: 3.5/5, film: 4/5, intellectual/emotional impact: 3/5) Recommendation: Rent it, see what you think. |

i did finish it though because of Mila Kunis ![]() it's films like this and Get Smart that make me wonder why he would leave The Office (where he's been his absolute best imo) to try and focus on Hollywood and writing scripts. he sucks when not playing Michael Scott. only exception being his role in Anchorman, which was fantastically hilarious ![]() but then again, that scene i'm referring to could probably be found on youtube as well if you'd be interested in it at all ![]() |

Don't know when I'll get around to watching it though; possibly tomorrow night. |
