NO STRINGS ATTACHED




Romantic comedy

PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Natalie Portman: Dr. Emma Kurtzman
Ashton Kutcher: Adam Franklin, television producer
Ophelia Lovibond: his girlfriend Vanessa
Kevin Kline: Adam’s father Alvin
and others no doubt

REVIEW
It is not likely anyone other than the target audience (women between the ages of 17 to 24-years-old) will find very much to like in this fanciful story about today’s attitude towards casual sex.

For the target demographic there is lots to see including very much of Ashton Kutcher in fact, about 99% of him with only a small towel affording him any measure of modesty. By contrast Natalie Portman manages to keep her clothes on (well at least her undergarments) despite the frequent passionate sex scenes.

The dialogue is sprinkled liberally with potty-mouth references and lots of raunchy situations. I could see where all this was headed so I walked out.

CLASSIFICATION
for sexual content, language and some drug material.
