If you like garbage you will LOVE this film! Worst movie I have ever seen!!!
shareI'm afraid I have to agree. I switched it off after about 30 minutes during the "let's text each other in the middle of the night for sex" montage.
I don't know what happened in the end but
1. I don't care
2. I have a pretty damn good idea

I think it's hilarious that THIS is the worst movie you have ever seen.
I liked it. It was simple. Detached awesome girl and awesome guy trying to keep things casual but oh wait, it isn't that easy. Happens all the time.
Plus, it's Natalie Portman..Come on.
...R.I.P Michael Joseph Jackson...
...R.I.P Heathcliff Andrew Ledger...

I haven't seen it in a while, but I warmed up to it when Portman's character stood up for Kutcher's character when his family was being jerks to him. I liked both characters after that.
shareI personally thought it was awful bleurgh :( waste of money.

I just saw it, and it was definitely bad. It made me appreciate all the more that rarest of movies: the RomCom that's actually fun to watch. However, I hope the "worst movie ever" subject line was intentional exaggeration for effect. There's no way this is as bad as Showgirls or most of those MST3K movies in their original form, without wise-cracking robots.
The problem with so many of these movies seems to be that the writers get so caught up in trying the make romantic plot work that they relegate the comedy to a few mild quips by the principals, and a squad of "wacky" supporting characters. In No Strings Attached it's more like an army than a squad, and I had considerable difficultly remembering or caring who was who.
Concentrating on the main plot is pointless, since the rules of this genre make it utterly predictable. In this film, it's obvious all the way through that Emma just needs to stop creating obstacles for the resolution to happen. It just occurred to me that it might have been more interesting if the film ended with a scene it the future showing that an elderly Adam and Emma were still just FWBs, but that's probably just the sort of thing that would get changed in the first rewrite.
I noticed some replies on this thread took shots at the stars, but I thought they did what they could with unpromising material. It's nearly always the script that makes a movie disappointing, except for something like Mel Gibson as Hamlet.
reading your post, I think it's safe to assume that you just don't like Romantic Comedies, so it's kind of unfair for you to say the movie is bad when you don't like this type of movie to begin with.

Just because you're too stupid to understand it, doesn't mean it's a plot hole
Do understand that I hate these kinds of movies, have never cared for Kutcher in anything and Portman in maybe two roles ever, I believe Ludacris should be banned from all visual media forever, I wish romantic comedies could only be viewed on v-day, anniversaries and birthdays...with all that said I have still seen a whole lot worse than this one. Hell two recently had Kutcher in it as well, anybody here seen Killers? Or Valentines Day? Ugh, that was a tremendous pile of *beep* with nothing redeeming whatsoever.
At least this one had a few decent scenes, a couple of funny background characters and a plot that required little more thought than auto-pilot mode so all in all I have to say that anyone who considers this to be the worst movie ever or even of 2010/11 either has some unreasonably lofty expectations or really sees very few films with the sheer amount of crap unleashed every year. This wouldn't even make my bottom 10 of the last two years.
While it was pretty bad, I can think of a lot worse things to waste an hour and a half of your life on.
I fully agree! My wife seems to like these stupid romantic cookie cutter comedies, but even she had to turn it off after 20 minutes. I usually tell her she's on her own with those types of movies but we happened to be working together in the same room when she started playing it and WOW, what garbage. Something was seriously amiss here. What is Natalie Portman doing in #%@! like this anyways? Kutcher I can understand, he's branded himself to #*&% like this, but Natalie? Come on.
shareI should have listened, it is absolutely the worst movie ever! Wife and I almost turned it off several times. It was like watching a train wreck though; we kept hoping somehow it would avoid disaster. It did not. What a feeble, wretched, horrible, disgusting, small minded, sad excuse for film making.
