Lifelong friends Adam (Ashton Kutcher) and Emma (Natalie Portman) attempt to avoid falling in love after falling into each other's beds in this comedy exploring the complexities and quirks of having friends with benefits. Adam was a typical, hormonal 14-year-old when he first came on to Emma at summer camp -- and got shot down in flames. In the years that followed, however, Adam and Emma continued to cross paths until, eventually, they both caved to their animal instincts. Despite an intense session of earth-shaking sex, however, Emma makes it clear to Adam that the last thing she wants is a committed relationship. At first their casual stance on sex works great for both; Emma can focus on her career instead of allowing her emotions to dictate her decisions, and Adam can play the field without fear of hurting her feelings. Over time, though, Adam begins to develop feelings for Emma that he never had for any of his countless conquests. Before they both know it, love has reared its ugly head and they've gotten too emotionally involved to cut the relationship off cold. But is commitment in the cards for the couple that always swore it would never get serious, or has the time come for them to finally part ways once and for all?
I really liked the movie and I believe it's a good movie for both sexes. But honestly I think they have who falls in love first all wrong. Then again this is Hollywood and the movies so they portray real life very minimally. In the movie they have Emma as being the one who only wants sex, no commitment, no arguing, and no feelings felt between her and Adam. Now right there, that sounds like a typical guy in his 20s talking, not a successful, beautiful woman. There is not one girl that I know that doesn't want to get married, settle down and start a family. I mean come on since I was 5 I remember playing dress up and pretending to get married and having kids. While the boys were playing with cars, guns and video games. Wow just goes to show you that boys never grow up, they care about their cars, Black Op and the rest of their video games more than real life!
I'm not a guy hater because I've had some really great guy friends. But I do hate how they act most of the time. I wish girls had the ability to not care like guys. Not care about how we look, not care about our relationships, and just worry about ourselves. But us being women can't do that. We have the false pretense that this guy will be different, that he won't cheat again, that he won't hurt me or break my heart. But then he goes and does everything we hope he wouldn't. And when you break up he moves on so quickly like you never existed! I've said this to plenty of people, I wish when we were born a manual came out with us that said our whole life story. I wouldn't want to look at everything in that book, I'd just turn to the pages about the guys who would hurt me and then the name of my future husband.
I truly believe that there is someone out there for everyone. That they will go perfectly together and complement each other perfectly. There is a guy out there that will treat you like a princess, love you more and more everyday, and make you fall in love with him all over everyday. He's out there somewhere, Mr. Right, maybe at this exact moment he's searching for his Mrs. Right. But for now I'll go back to my 5 year old self and look at wedding pictures and imagine myself as the happy bride whose wearing a beautiful dress and has the biggest smile on her face. Because she has finished the search and has found her Mr. Right!
So whoever is reading this please take my advice...DON'T SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN THE BEST!! Because we honestly deserve it and if you don't show these guys how a lady should be treated then they will never learn. So think of it this way...the guy you're with might not end up being your husband, but he might be someone's husband someday. So train him well, tell him the right way to treat a girl. Tell him that holding the door open isn't over rated, holding hands is cute, kissing you infront of his friends means so much to us, and that being mean/ ignorant/ rude is NEVER cute and doesn't work out well. If it doesn't work out know that you gave it your all! And remember this:
