I enjoyed this film as much as I expected. Good romantic comedies are hard to come by so I didn't expect this one to be the apotheosis of this genre. The cast is solid and the b-plot supplied by supporting characters was actually sweet and interesting and given an appropriate amount of time. Ashton Kutcher does his charming rom-com nice guy character and it's obvious that he and Natalie Portman had a lot of fun making this movie. I think slightly more time is given to Ashton Kutcher's character but Portman's garners more sympathy and empathy. Even though this is just a fun romantic comedy where good-looking people make kissings with other good-looking people there are some genuinely lovely parts. But the movie is essentially "Zach and Miri Make a Porno" with more romance than comedy and more commodified attitude toward sex. I can think of a more enjoyable way to have spent time with my friend, but I didn't mind going with her to see this and don't regret it.
