    In addition to being potentially accidentally fascist, the sex purge movie One Night Only is also deliberately chaste, apparently. Also, Will Gluck directed Friends with Benefits, so what happened in the last 15 years? variety.com/2026/film/fe...

    The more I hear about this movie the more it just conservative Christian ideals the movies but with a Gen Z mix. And I’m not surprised from the man who directed both Peter Rabbit Movies and Friends with Benefits.

    TRIVIA: Writer Elizabeth Meriwether’s script for ‘No Strings Attached’ was originally titled ‘Friends With Benefits’. The title was changed to avoid confusion with a different film with a similar premise starring Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake that opened on July 22, 2011. (IMDB) 🖤

    This isn't exactly the same thing, but always thrown off by the fact that No Strings Attached isn't the friends with benefits movie with Justin Timberlake (that's Friends with Benefits).

    My wife, who is in her early 30s, gets very uncomfortable when characters are having sex in a movie or TV show. Funnily enough, I discovered this when watching an earlier Will Gluck movie (FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS) with her.

    Perhaps Easy A could stand some reevaluation given the director’s latest developments Friends with Benefits too (though I didn’t particularly love that movie). So is this guy’s whole thing that casual sex is bad?

    I’m intrigued by her use of “Tennis” as a metaphor for sex b/c I’ve been saying for a while that Tennis is an important concept for the New Romantics hence all of them wearing polo & attending matches. Also in “Friends with Benefits” (the movie) the sport that inspires the FWB arrangement is Tennis.

    Just wanted to add since I learned this yesterday: this movie and Easy A have something else in common: They're the only two movies of the eight he directed that he didn't write or cowrite. (The others are Anyone But You, Friends with Benefits, Fired Up, the Annie remake, and Peter Rabbit 1 and 2)

    How is it many politicians on both sides get very personally rich off their investments? We aren’t paying them high salaries. It reminds me of the movie: Friends with Benefits. But they aren’t actually OUR friends. We must find out who their real “friends” are and require investment transparency.

    🎬 Friends With Benefits (2011) Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake’s chemistry is undeniable, even if the movie itself hasn’t aged well. Many of the jokes feel out of touch by today’s standards, but the emotional moments still land and are easily the highlight of the film. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
