Friends with Benefits (2011 Will Gluck)

Well written, subversive romcom pretty much falls into its own trap and could have been much more trenchant, though is still lots of fun. Criticism of music making you feel the scene could be replaced by criticism of using pop songs instead of music.

Kunis and Timberlake make a great pair. Also with Richard Jenkins, Woody Harrelson, Patricia Clarkson and Nolan Gould as the accident-prone magician.

Jason Segal is in the truly awful faux romcom, from which there are similarly awful outtakes after the real film's credits.
