Since a few members seem to have seen this film despite the rental box screaming at me "Oh, God, do not see this film!" I thought I'd poll-aroid it. I'll add that every time a friend says to me, "We're like friends... with benefits," it comes out as "I'm like miserable... and self-loathing."

Get to the important part, how nekkid does Mila get?

I think, if it's worth sitting through otherwise unengaging mainstream entertainment options to get to a porn-ish element, why not just go for porn?

I think it depends on your level of engagement. I mean, making a night of it..eh..watching while making dinner? While eating dinner? doing a fantasy draft? sure. Also, if you're watching it with a woman (who's not a friend with benefits) porn is usually frowned upon. but the important answer I guess is not nekkid at all. There are some nice scenes with various states of undress, but I was in the kitchen for a while, so maybe Greg has a more complete answer.

I've seen worse rom-coms. Movie's more than a bit uneven with the dialog often too cute by half. In between it tends to vacillate between you-gotta-be-kidding-me scenes that would never happen anywhere except in stupid rom-com movies and some decent ones courtesy of a couple of non-rom-com pros Patricia Clarkson & Richard Jenkins each playing a parent of one of the leads. And in answer to my question from eight months back: Mila gets more nekkid than I would have guessed. Bonus Met content involves the two leads celebrating a Jose Reyes HR on TV.

I conflate this movie with the Natalie Portman movie No Strings Attached. Not that I've seen either of them.
