Honestly, I can't think of one women who doesn't find him attractive. The casting for this film was genius. Girls love Timberlake, guys love Kunis. It's a win win.

This was hilarious. I didn't expect to like this, but it was excellent. Will probably get the combo pack.
No way I'm gonna see this one. Some time ago I saw "When Harry Met Sally" again after many years and I realized today's romantic comedies make it look like Ingmar Bergman stuff...
...and I can't stand Justin Timberlake as well.
Based on the trailers, besides "No Strings Attached" it seems "Love and Other Drugs" has a similar plot as well.

Not even, dude. Timberlake was great in "The Social Network" and in this.

I share the same view, but this film was really an exception. And its funny because of its strong script. Many quick and zany one-liners. Timberlake isn't a favorite of mine either but he was tolerable in this one. I say just give it a chance.

Better than I thought it would be. I'd buy it once it gets cheap.
After hearing all the good things I'll definitely rent it. I actually enjoyed No Strings Attached so if this is similar it shouldn't be too bad.
Yeah, I have to admit that this one took me by complete surprise as well. Especially after seeing the horrible, similarly themed, "No Strings Attached" -- by comparison this one was actually fun and funny. It was actually an enjoyable flick as far as rom-coms go.
I liked this one. Didn't love it. A lot better than "No Strings Attached," but still didn't feel as funny as it was marketed.
Anyone also notice that in the cover art it doesn't even look as if Mila Kunis is actually wearing her outfit. Just a weird observation.

I'm very critical when it comes to movies, especially romantic comedies, but this one was an exception. The dialogue is sharp and witty, the chemistry is there, and the script is where this film shines. Of course you'll have your cliches here and there, but for a film like this, it's just such a nice breath of fresh air. Also, for anyone wondering, this is no watery R-rated movie like "No Strings Attached". This movie, while not exploiting nudity, earns its R. It depicts cunnilinguis, fellatio, and penetrative sex and the director doesn't shy away from explicitly sexual moments. The humor is especially raunchy and sexual. I actually liked that the film earned the rating and pushed that boundary.
This took me by surprise, I had zero desire to see it but agreed to and liked it a lot. It was much better than the similar no strings attached. Sure it's predictable but it's also a lot of fun.
Complete idiotic trash.
