Genre:
In this comedy, Emma and Adam are life-long friends who almost ruin everything by having sex one morning. In order to protect their friendship, they make a pact to keep their relationship strictly "no strings attached." "No strings" means no jealousy, no expectations, no fighting, no flowers, no baby voices. It means they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, in whatever public place they want, as long as they don't fall in love. The questions become: Can you have sex without love getting in the way? And can their friendship survive?

Movies.ie Critic Review
Having shot down his advances when they were teenagers, Emma (Portman) now sees little reason why she and Adam (Kutcher) shouldn’t become f**k buddies. The strict rule being that there’s no cuddling, spooning or affection. It’s a neat plan, for a while, but then, yikes, the affection starts growing…
THE VERDICT: The main surprise of this foulmouthed but thoroughly mainstream romantic comedy is hearing Natalie Portman spew out expletive-laden lines about genitalia, but once you get over little miss prissy perfect sounding like a Dublin clubber, there’s a very traditional, and predictable, romantic comedy on offer here. Reitman (a comedy veteran hurting after a string of flops) is plainly keen to keep up with the times, but No Strings Attached plays like just another Farrelly Brothers misfire.
