Friends with Benefits Reviews

Movie Reviews

• these are smart people saying smart things, which is what comedy should be

  by Colin Covert [Minneapolis Star Tribune ]

• the movie: emotionally fake

  by Steven Rea [Philadelphia Inquirer ]

• makes the occasional misstep outside of the bedroom, but it's still more honest - and more funny

  by James Rocchi [MSN Movies ]

• is quite good - especially as it skewers rom-com cliches

  by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]

• eventually paints itself into a thematic corner by trying to bend the rules and follow the formula

  by Jon Niccum [Kansas City Star ]

• endearingly manages the postmodern trick of mocking all the cliches of the genre - meet-cutes, dysfunctional relatives, the gay best friend, celebrity cameos, real estate porn, a tourist's-eye view of cities and reunions in public places

  by Lou Lumenick [New York Post ]
