Natalie, Natalie, Natalie. Don’t you realize that after you win a Best Actress Oscar (for Black Swan), you no longer have to appear in these lame romantic comedies opposite vacuous pretty boys like Ashton Kutcher? Two attractive people who have known each other since childhood agree to become “friends with benefits,” and just have sex without emotional involvement. Now, if you have the slightest doubt about how these two will end up at the end of the movie, you really need to get out more. The supporting cast is more interesting. Fortunately, Natalie, people will forget this movie very, very soon.
