Friends With Benefits
2011. 109 minutes. Rated R.
“I really have to stop buying into this bullshit Hollywood cliche of true love. Shut up, Katherine Heigl, you stupid, little liar!”
I admit it. I’m a sucker for romantic comedies (let’s not talk about how many times I’ve watched 27 Dresses, mmkay? And I agree, Katherine Heigl is a stupid little liar! But hope springs eternal, and I can’t tear myself away from them). There is something satisfying about the boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back plot. FWB enhances the romantic comedy with strong realistic humor and dialogue, and allows the characters to acknowledge romantic comedies are ridiculous and misleading… but they’d still like real life to pan out that way.

The real problem is that I’m all excited about this fun online endeavor of my own right now (The Big Brown Chair) so likely it’s a bad idea for me to be focusing on a bunch of yuppies from Boston (my home) who are all now billionaires for figuring out a cool website. Oh well, ‘spose you readers aren’t breaking my door down (yet via Beth Gallaway).
