No Strings Attached Reviews
Anemic little comedy. [Full review in Spanish]
| Oct 7, 2022
Ivan Reitman is one of the best comedy filmmakers of his generation--especially his 1980s output--but No Strings Attached is not one of his better films.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 30, 2022
An average raunchy sex comedy, lacking likeable characters, plausibility, and general funniness.
| Original Score: 2/10 | Nov 30, 2020
A pleasant surprise.
| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 18, 2020
A mildly interesting diversion that is never more than a catchy gimmick in search of a complete story.
| Original Score: C- | May 8, 2019
No Strings Attached energizes the tired romantic comedy genre by combining a pair of comely lovers and lines which leap and fizz, except when they have to fight mushy dips.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 3, 2019
I find myself laughing out loud throughout the film.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Mar 7, 2019
No Strings Attached is the sort of movie you can watch once with no harm on either side, but it's unlikely you'll settle into a long-term favorite film relationship with it.
| Original Score: B- | Feb 16, 2019
There's very little plot. That's for the best.

Director Ivan Reitman, who has never really gotten any dirtier than campers reading smut in Meatballs, is out of his element.
| Original Score: C- | Jan 29, 2018
You get the feeling Reitman packed the supporting cast with ringers because he knew his leads couldn't cut it.
Full Review | May 3, 2015
While it's not without problems, No Strings Attached is a romantic comedy worth watching, and that's saying a lot. Every member of the cast lights up the screen with humor and charm and there are a lot of genuinely funny moments.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 11, 2013
Aside from its unromantic plot, "Attached" is over-sexed, overdone and overcome by a terrible script.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 30, 2013
Acting opposite Ashton Kutcher is the equivalent of dropping down a year in school for someone like Natalie Portman.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 28, 2012
Portman is a true comedienne on screen. Hopefully she'll add a few more performances like this one to her resume' in the near future.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 16, 2011
This being a Hollywood romantic comedy, the outcome of the story-about a man and woman who agree to a sex-only relationship-is obvious from the get-go, so this film is all about the journey, not the destination...
Full Review | Jul 8, 2011
A romantic comedy that looks smutty but is actually slushy.

Portman's fine, Kucher, not so much; No Strings Attached falters
| Jun 10, 2011
While the ultimate conclusion is still the same as always, and Ashton Kutcher's flat delivery nearly ruins it, No Strings Attached is a thoughtful twist on the usual romantic-comedy.
| Original Score: 7/10 | May 16, 2011
If you like looking at Natalie Portman, you may take a fancy to the movie. Otherwise, you might find it a bore.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Apr 21, 2011
