And she’s interested in sex – somebody “in my bed at two a Ivan Reitman – whose directing career (“Ghostbusters”) is so long in the tooth that he actually has a son, Jason, amolatina profile search directing Oscar-worthy comedies – has his best outing in using flip of the “friends with benefits” sex-leads-to-love romantic comedy formula. Follow Collider It’s a movie benefiting from another sparkling, sexy and emotionally available performance by Natalie Portman, some clever turns in situations and witty banter that isn’t shy about crossing over into “Hangover” level raunchy. Elizabeth Meriwether’s script has that “(500) Days of Summer” gimmick, telling the story of this couple in clumps over a 15 year period. Super sp, way back when, and they had a momentary fling. Ten years later, they meet again and the pretty, flirty Emma (Portman) invites Adam to “this thing” she has to go to. It’s her dad’s funeral. But dopey-handsome Adam (Ashton Kutcher, NOT cast against type) doesn’t hear the “She’s cut off from her emotions” warning bells, even when she confesses, “If you’re lucky, you’re never going to see me again.” And then, that magical night when the boy drunk-dials the girl and something begins. But don’t call it a thoroughly modern romance. Emma, now an MIT trained doctor, won’t have that. She’s busy. She’s guarded. m.” – and nothing more. They have their romps, but snuggling and the like – real intimacy – scares her off. That’s catnip to the lad, so for Adam, the chase is on. Portman, almost certainly an Oscar nominee for “Black Swan,” carries this movie with her warmth and her wicked way with an incredibly crude come-on.
