Friends with Benefits

Warning this film is pretty full on....

As implied by the film title, 'Friends with benefits' tells the story of two characters, Dylan Harper (Justin Timberlake) and Jamie Rellis (Mila Kunis), who meet through work and decide to become friends with benefits.

The film is thoroughly entertaining but is very predictable in regards to the ending of the film, of course typically of the rom-com genre they do end up happily together after a number of emotional arguments and advise from close friends.

The chemistry between Kunis and Timberlake was brilliant and throw in the humorous performances of  Woody Harrelson, Richard Jenkins and the brief appearance from Emma Stone and you have an entertaining cast.

If romantic comedies aren't your sort of films then perhaps this isn't the film for you. However if you do enjoy them then definitely watch this. It is witty, funny and really touching in places.

Easy A

So hilarious!

I honestly loved this film it was absolutely brilliant!

'Easy A' for many would be considered as a typical teen drama, chick flick etc. And to be honest it probably is, however having seen a huge range of teen rom-coms, this has to be one of the best. The film really is sheer genius and gives those girls who do feel 'invisible' at high school a really kick at watching Olive mess around with the typical high school system.

Emma Stone is brilliant, of course, I haven't seen her in many things and I think that she was so funny in this. Her use of sarcasm and irony in this is sheer genius.

You also have to admire the performances of Stanley Tucci playing Olive's wacky/fun father and also Lisa Kudrow as the school councillor. I also really liked Amanda Bynes performance as the religious/ innocent Marianne and also Aly Michalka as the obsessive, loud best friend.

This film could be linked in a way to 'Mean Girls' sharing a stroke of genius and heaps of humour. I really would recommend watching this if you have the chance, it's a great laugh.
