This movie sucks. Do not see it. From the commercials you think its gonna be a comedy/porn. NOPE ITS A DARN LOVE STORY! It never ends. I wanted to kill myself. Best part of the movie is Mila Kunis ass. Its deff worth to see just for that.

Giant steaming pile of dog crap. Bad acting, bad writing, bad concept...total garbage. Mila Kunis is not good in this...she is not good in anything...how did this person ever achieve any success?

This movie sucked! And I love cheesy romantic comedies. I am giving this movie one star because Mila Kunis worked her ass off to try to make this movie funny.

I am giving this movie one star because Mila Kunis worked her ass off to try to make this movie funny. It was sorta sad to see how hard she had to work, but I like her, I like her acting, and I think she did a good job. Meanwhile, Justin Timberlake proved that he has NO charisma whatsoever. Nor can he act. If they had cast a talented actor in this movie, it would have been significantly more enjoyable - John Krasinski could have saved this movie- but they didn't cast Krasinski, they cast the stiff-as-wood Timberlake.
My other major problem with this movie was the flashmob scenes. So cringe-worthy, and not in an adorable way. Flash mobs were over way before this movie came out, yet they play an important part in the plot. Further proof that hollywood writers should be careful about writing-in internet fads. I put my head in my hands during the scene where Justin Timberlake says "What is this?" and Mila's character excitedly explains "It's a flash mob!" Oh really grandma?… Expand

Wow, these Metacritic scores are nuts. Some movies are rated so low and I love them, while movies like this one have positive ratings and they are horrible. This is a terrible movie. It actually picks up a bit at the end, but wow, theWow, these Metacritic scores are nuts. Some movies are rated so low and I love them, while movies like this one have positive ratings and they are horrible. This is a terrible movie. It actually picks up a bit at the end, but wow, the majority is plain bad. The dialogue in this movie is the worst. Who wrote these terrible lines. They were just not funny. It's as if they were trying to sound cool by making the characters spew racey banter, but the lines simply were not funny. I'm a fan of Timberlake because I admire how he went from Disney to a ridiculous boy band, to then becoming a respectable solo artist and then a talented actor. Mila is just plain HOT. So I went in here thinking that I would enjoy this movie. WRONG! I am always amazed at how movies like this get favorable reviews. I guess there's no accounting for taste. Be warned.… Expand

If you’ve seen one romcom,this won’t surprise you,wooden actors,nothing original about the plot.
You know the end 10 minutes into the film,do yourself a favour,watch something else.

This is a VERY predictable movie with moments that make you wonder why they couldn't make this love story/comedy work. Yes Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis have great chemistry on screen and yet the "Comedy" is SO FORCED on that it took meThis is a VERY predictable movie with moments that make you wonder why they couldn't make this love story/comedy work. Yes Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis have great chemistry on screen and yet the "Comedy" is SO FORCED on that it took me out of the movie as quick as it got me into it. Very predictable story wise too. Just not a great one.… Expand
