Occasionally in the 15 years since summer camp, Adam and Emma cross paths. When he discovers that an ex-girlfriend is living with his dad, he gets drunk, calls every woman in his cell phone contact list, and ends up passed out naked in her living room. By this time, she's a medical resident in L.A. and he's a gopher on a "Glee"-like TV series, hoping to be a writer. She guards her emotions (calling her father's funeral "a thing"), so after a quick shag in the moments she has before leaving for the hospital, she asks if he wants a no-strings-attached, sex-only relationship, without romance or complications. A prescription for fun or for disaster? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>
This movie has a typical romantic comedy plot but honestly, the only variables in all romantic comedies are characters and script dialogue.
Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher do a great job of exhibiting chemistry and getting the audience to hope the two of them into a happily ever after denouement.
They're both beautiful and appealing to a lot of people. Their performances are a great combination of crack up laughter and heart felt longing.
The dialogue is witty and somewhat vulgar in certain instances that makes for a fun time whether you're out with your friends or on a date.
