Ivan Reitman directed, with great verve and unflagging finesse, from a terrifically funny script by Elizabeth Meriwether. Read full review

It's a movie benefiting from another sparkling, sexy and emotionally available performance by Natalie Portman. Read full review

No Strings Attached isn't a BAD piece of formulaic product. Read full review

What's in this cliché grab bag for moviegoers? Well, Portman and Kutcher are a cute mismatch. She's short to his tall, sassy to his sweet, etc. I dried up here. So does the movie. Read full review

A foul-mouthed comedy, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. "Bad Santa" (2003) also had plenty of crude language and lewd behavior. The difference is, "Bad Santa" was extremely funny. Read full review

Not a bad premise, but material demanding a light touch is weighed down by a desperate desire to fit in, like a little kid swearing to impress the big boys. Read full review

On the bright side, Ivan Reitman's disappointing new comedy isn't just cheap and formulaic, but so forgettable few people will even remember she (Portman) was in it. Read full review

How the sack does this movie get a 50 around here. This movie was so fantastic. I'm not even sure how some of you call yourselves decent critics. Does every movie have to be groundbreaking to be rewarded? I don't know. I had a really good time watching this. All I had to do was sit back,How the sack does this movie get a 50 around here.

I had a really good time watching this. All I had to do was sit back, relax, and enjoy what was in front of me. No need to analyze the entire thing, if I do that, nothing will be peaceful and enjoyable.… Expand

Another movie that I went into not expecting much and being pleasantly surprised. Ashton Kutcher seems to always play the same character so I he did a good job at meeting expectation. Storyline was simple and had some good laughs.

"No Strings Attached" é um filme aprazível e divertido. A química entre Natalie Portman e Ashton Kutcher é notável e dá um toque especial à película.

Pay no attention to the brain-dead movie critics--sure this movie is cliche, that's why I go to rom-coms, for light entertaining cliche and hope a really brilliant one comes along like Harry Met Sally. Until then, I'm good with this one.

Why has Ivan Reitman made this film and how has he made Natalie Portman's character so dislikable. Saying that, Ashton Kutcher's character isn't a blast either. The producers should take a long hard look at She's Out of My League and realise that rom-coms are all about the likability factorWhy has Ivan Reitman made this film and how has he made Natalie Portman's character so dislikable.

Very dull romantic comedy we seen million times before, nothing new, or worth talking about. Natalie Portman is another sex crazed movie, nothing but a predictable dreadful bore.
