Re: No Strings Attached or Friends with Benefits?

Come on, guys! We're picking between these two movies? Just reading the titles puts me to sleep. The only way to even approach this is like how others have been doing and choosing which star you would wanna do up the butt. Kutcher, of course!

Re: No Strings Attached or Friends with Benefits?

I thought this was a Portman vs Kunis Thread. I will still gladly throw MOTU Trap Jaw Portman off a bridge for a date with ugly in the morning Kunis.

Re: No Strings Attached or Friends with Benefits?

That Kunis pic without makeup....wow.

She probably has the better body these days given how skinny Portman got, but Portman is a natural beauty.

Here's a somewhat less goofy facial expression of Kunis without makeup:



And Portman:



Kunis might be cute in a sort of bug-eyed way, but Portman is gorgeous.

So the answer is Portman's head on Kunis' body.

Re: No Strings Attached or Friends with Benefits?

I don't know why I can't stand Portman's jaw and cat in the hat smile. It revolts me. In that blown up pic, Kunis definitely looks bloated, but all dolled up, her eyes win over Portman every time!.

Re: No Strings Attached or Friends with Benefits?

Portman is hotter than Kunis, but Portman seems like a snooty bitch while Kulnis comes across like a good dirty chick.

Oh yeah, both movies suck the Devil's dick in the roasting furnaces of Hell.

This is probably the lamest poll in the history of DVDTalk. And that's saying something.

No Strings Attached or Friends with Benefits?

I watched these back to back. They are essentially the same movie. Same year of release (2011). Same gross. I remembered Friends with Benefits. NSA I didn’t. But, I really enjoyed NSA. Like both but giving edge to FWB.

Here you go.

And what's extra weird is that the guy from NSA ended up marrying the girl from FWB and they now have two smelly kids together.

Re: No Strings Attached or Friends with Benefits?

I haven’t thought much about these movies until the reference in Ted Lasso. I think I slightly preferred No Strings Attached but I probably haven’t watched it since it came out.

Changed mine. NSA. For Portman and Kutcher great chemistry. And Jake Johnson.

I mean to be fair it’s an old thread and the search function is kinda wonky at times.

I realized that too. Weird. Even though they knew each other for years on That 70’s Show.

And they both made out with Natalie Portman.

I don’t fault Oldboy here. I’m laughing that I created a poll on this same subject, and it was pretty random at the time. I should’ve clarified that.

Re: No Strings Attached or Friends with Benefits?

FWB is on freevee. Never saw it probably since I lived it back in the 90s.

We didn't live that far apart. Usually she would signal me by requesting I bring her a machaca burrito. Usually after midnight. She was a firecracker. She wound up moving to MIssissippi. We lost touch but I've often wondered how she's doing.

Re: No Strings Attached or Friends with Benefits?

The Mila Kunis one is an enjoyable rom-com that holds up to repeated low-impact viewings. The Natalie Portman one is not good.

Re: No Strings Attached or Friends with Benefits?

I started to watch FWB last night (early this morning) but I was pretty tired and fell asleep. Not a critique of the movie. I probably only made it five minutes in.

Re: No Strings Attached or Friends with Benefits?

I'm watching No Strings Attached on the National Lampoon channel right now. I know I saw it when it came out, but IDK if I have seen it since.

Portman and Kutcher lack chemistry, and Natalie is not a good comic actress, but the comedy chops on the supporting cast is amazing.

Kevin Kline, Mindy Kaling, Lake Bell, Jake Johnson, Abby Elliot, Greta Gerwig, Olivia Thirlby, Cary Elwes
