No Strings Attached

Long-lost childhood friends Adam (Kutcher) and Emma (Portman) rediscover one another at a dinner party, now both in their 20s. As Adam was recently dumped and nursing student Emma is too busy for emotional commitments, the two discuss the possibility of a purely sexual relationship and embark on an interesting premise as they struggle to stick to their game plan. Portman is great, as usual; Kutcher is dopey, as usual. What could have been a sharp, smart romantic comedy comes off as tart and too gooey sweet for its inaccurate R-rating.
