FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS

Now this is what I'm talking about. It appears another film about casual sex is on the horizon; this time with Mila Kunis (wowza!) and triple-threat Justin Timberlake starring. Friends has a red-band trailer (an obvious upgrade, since swearing makes everything better) and I can say without hesitation that it looks a million times better than the previously posted No Strings Attached (ironically, an 'N Sync album). I have to say that Timberlake has some serious chops after seeing him The Social Network and to a lesser extent Alpha Dog. Who would have thought after getting his start on a bubbly and frosty-tipped quintet that his career would have ended up at this point?

This looks hilarious. Watching JT crooning the Semisonic tune 'Closing Time' while going down on Kunis is enough for me to buy a ticket (that sounds weird after reading the last sentence). Friends is directed by Will Gluck whose previous efforts were Fired Up and Easy A. Also starring are Woody Harrelson, Patricia Clarkson, Andy Samberg and Emma Stone.

Let's play tennis!
