Sorry for the dalay-these movies have been out a week.

Friends With Benefits

Justin Timberlake plays a dot com whiz kid who is head hunted by Mila Kunis-who convinces him to relocate-Los Angeles to New York City. Once in NYC, he finds himself lonely, so he convinces Mila to hang out with him. One night they are having that-what if people can be friends with benefits. She makes him swear on a bible that their relationship will only be a friends with benefit set up with no feelings involved. They hop into bed and soon confess to each other that they are both damaged goods.

The sex goes on for a couple of weeks,then he decides to go to LA for the 4th of July weekend and convinces her to go along, and meet his family. When they arrive, his family refuses to admit that they are only friends. To that end, she announces that they will go without on the left coast to not give the family reason to to think they are involved. Then, she gets some bad news from her mom and not only does she relent, she also develops feelings for him.

The next morning, Justin tries to convince his sister that he's not involved with Mila and that they're only friends. Mila overhears and catches the next flight to NYC. Soon after, she has to track him down to get her fee and.....Hollywood ending.

On the plus side, about twenty minutes in, there's a five minute stretch where Mila is naked, in and out of bed, and rolling around in the bed. Her butt double has a two second full backside shot, but on DVD, there may be nipples in silhouette.

The Change Up

The first actual T & A movie in years (my definition-a T & A movie is a comedy at it's core and the lead actresses aren't afraid to get naked for the story). The premise-a single guy (Ryan Reynolds) and a family guy (Jason Bateman) continue their friendship, although it's been 15 years since high school. Ryan is a D level actor, and Jason a lawyer, about to close an eight figure corporate merger. While drunk and pissing in a public fountain, they accidentally change lives. Formulaic story ensues.

The best thing about the movie, finally, Leslie Mann (George of the Jungle) gets naked for the role, and I mean naked. She should have done this years ago.

A hilarious scene ensues when Jason has to bonk a very busty sixty year old in a softcore flick, and the Albanian Director demands that Jason stick his thumb up the granny's asshole during the sex scene.

Olivia Wilde has a nude scene also, but the nipples are supposedly CGI. Still, watching Mila Kunis roll around in a bed for two hours, plus a naked Leslie, then Olivia-holy crap, I was primed to pop.
