Return of the Blogger- No strings attached

So its that time of the year again ...you know what i am talking about ...Valentine's day... a day where hearts get broken and love gets made at the same time....So it was only perfect i caught one of the highly anticipated romantic comedy of the year - no strings attached . Sure each year valentines day makes Hollywood churns out their drum roll of such movies , but no strings attached proves its a bit different from the lot. The combination of ashton kutcher and natalie portman makes all the magic work in this wonderful romantic comedy . The movie has a lot of sexual content and most of the humour is based around sexual activity , so i wouldnt recommend this for take your kids out for a movie day, but would recommend this for all the new couples and the old ones looking for a come back. This movie nonetheless gets you in the mood.( Unfortunately i watched with 4 dudes so it was kinda of a bummer).

Here's a short synopsis for you to string the story together -
Emma and Adam are life-long friends who almost ruin everything by having sex one morning. In order to protect their friendship, they make a pact to keep their relationship strictly "no strings attached." "No strings" means no jealousy, no expectations, no fighting, no flowers, no baby voices. It means they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, in whatever public place they want, as long as they don't fall in love. The question becomes -- who's going to fall first? And can their friendship survive?

Natalie portman gets on your nerve in certain scenes where you just wish kutcher would dump her, but her crazy acts make way for more cute and humorous touches in the movie . As for Kutcher he play his role to perfection , the ultimate chocolate boy. This movies brings back the genre of good romantic comedies or chick flicks as some may refer to it. A perfect movie to take your girlfriend out to or the chick you want to propose to or the girl who you want to make the natalie portman of your life (ie an everlasting one night stand ),

Final word-
I am going with 3/5 for paramount pictures "No strings Attached" because sometimes you dont listen to the critics , sometimes you just follow you heart and go for that romantic comedy whether they call it a chick flick or not .
PS - make sure you watch it with your girlfriend/wife and not a guy cause otherwise you might end up missing her a lot during this movie or missing that girl you like (as in my case;).
