2011 Romantic Comedy/Drama
by Will Gluck
Description: Jamie is a New Yorker corporate head hunter looking to fill an
executive position at GQ magazine. Dylan
is a successful writer for a very popular internet news blog from LA. When
Jamie convinces Dylan to come to NYC to meet with GQ a friendship sparks. Both are recently dumped and bummed about
their single status. After drink a few
beers and watching a goopey romance movie they decide to add a few benefits to
their friendship. They do pretty good
for a while… But eventually find that they have both invested more than
intended in their sexual relationship.Review: The story is kinda “been there, done that”, especially lately with “No Strings Attached” releasing in January 2011 and this one releasing in July 2011. Seeing as how I have seen both and am reviewing one I will try to keep an open mind and do this like I haven’t seen the other. There was a sad element to this movie so it wasn’t all ewwy gooey through the whole thing. It was definitely funny, and I thought that the flash mob thing was cool. Mila and Justin work really well off of each other. There were several interesting twists throughout the film. There was a lot of sex going on, like more than normal even for romantic comedies. Not bad… J

My favorite quotes:
ü
“I don’t want to be the guy that shits the bed.”
ü
“Why don’t they ever make a movie about what happens after the
big kiss? – They do… It’s called porn.”
ü
“I love women. They’re beautiful, majestic, mysterious,
mesmerizing creatures. Smart,
empathetic, far superior to men in every way and if I had a choice I would be
with women to my dying day. But me likes
cock, so I’m strictly dick-ly.”
