Friends (with Benefits) (2009)

If it's not dirty, You're doing something wrong.

[8/10 · 18 August 2009]

While the whole idea of friends with benefits may seem like a cliché Mr. Bechard's take on it in this movie is anything but that! It will open your eyes to a broader view on "unconventional sex". Never before has the concept of friends with benefits been so beautifully aestheticized. While the beginning may seem a little "slow" trust me the plot kicks into high gear and you will soon find yourself completely immersed into the film. The cinematography itself was amazing, the bathing shot was probably the most effortlessly erotic thing i have seen in cinema in a while. The film was shot beautifully with an amazing soundtrack. I could definitely feel the strong connection between Chloe and Owen as well as the bond the other characters shared. This film will definitely make you re-examine the role sex plays in your relationships and possibly even give you some ideas ;)With the quirky unexpected plot twists i.e. the blond all American boy getting off with the help of a dog! I would highly recommend this movie, i thoroughly enjoyed it from the beginning to the denouement.
