What to Know

Critics Consensus

Friends with Benefits adds nothing new to its well-worn rom-com formula, but the chemistry between Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis is almost enough to carry the movie by itself.

Sara Reihani Bitch Media The plot is really just a rickety frame on which to hang cultural references. My God, the cultural references. Flash mobs! Street art! Smart phones! '90s nostalgia! Guerrilla advertising! iPads! Sexting! Jan 8, 2021 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online These types of movies are going to keep coming out and there's just nothing we can do do about it. Rated: D+ Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Leah Rozen TheWrap Anyone who has ever seen a romantic comedy before knows where this one is going. Oct 7, 2011 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson It qualifies very well as that crowd-pleasing romantic comedy audiences love and brings the "layers" that puts it near the greats in its genre. Rated: 4/5 Oct 13, 2024 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz A mix of Before Sunrise, Down With Love and The Holiday, Friends With Benefits seeks to skewer Hollywood tropes of the genre as well as homaging classics of the past. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Friends with Benefits brings nothing new to the romantic comedy genre but it's so much fun watching Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis.
