No Strings Attached

Comedy
3.5 stars
Much better than I expected. Ashton Kutcher stars as an everyman dude whose female friend, Natalie Portman, suggests a “friends with benefits” arrangement. Predictable, yes, but the humor is fresh and smart and the cast is quite likable. I went in with very low expectations – maybe you should too – and wound up happily surprised. Kevin Kline costars as Kutcher’s dad, as well as Greta Gerwig (Greenberg), Lake Bell (“Boston Legal”), Olivia Thirlby (Juno), Ludracris and Cary Elwes as a handsome doctor. A good date movie.
