Friends With Benefits

We've all had them, no need to deny it. What's better than getting the one thing you want without having to deal with titles. You can get the job done then hang out and go bowling the next day. If only it was always that easy. Whether you want the emotions or not sometimes they sneak up on you, despite your every effort to avoid them. Friends With Benefits is your classic Hollywood Chick Flick with countless laughs and perfect eye candy.

Justin Timberlake, who plays Dylan, and Mila Kunis, who plays Jaime, have the most amazing chemistry together. Nothing compared to the lack of chemistry present in Justin's flop move Bad Teacher. Dylan and Jaime are horrible at relationships as it's one failed attempt after another. Dylan meets Jaime when she picks him up for a job interview which he ends up landing in New York. They soon discover they could provide the one thing they wanted without being official. They develop a friendship that we all search for. The kind where you can meet up for lunch any day, the kind where your stomach hurts from laughing with another and the kind where you know each other more than you know yourself.

Jaime shows Dylan the ins and outs of New York and shows him her city mountain top. All is clear for a bit until they realize they are best friends who can't deny that they've fallen for each other. They take a trip back to Dylan's hometown in LA. That's when all breaks loose and emotions get in the way of their original deal. Friends With Benefits teaches us all that friendship really is just four letter word....LOVE

Just Go With It

Imagine this. You are at a bar and you overhear a man explaining to the good looking woman sitting next to him that he has not seen his wife in months. She has deserted her duties as a wife and mother to their 15 adopted children. The attracted woman we shall call, Naive, is eating his miserable story up and says he should go home with her so she can show him what he deserves with a seductive look. Off they go to begin their rendezvous. Believable? Only in the movies, so Just go With It. Jennifer Aniston, Katherine, and Adam Sandler, Danny, play the ideal duo for this movie. She is the assistant of Danny and happens to be a single mother of two children. He is a wealthy plastic surgeon who had his heart broken on his wedding day. Since then he has taken on the life of faking near divorce, neglectful and horrendous marriages in order to persuade these stunning and young women to sleep with him. His perfect plan has continued to work until he meets a particular girl, Palmer,

I feel like I've known you FOREVER.

I feel this immense connection with him. I have to have known him from somewhere. But how we barely met a couple hours ago. But we have so much in common. He makes me laugh. He tells me I understand him. Wow did we just say the same thing at the same time? Weird! Those are the words that so many of the participants in Married At First Sight gushed about to the cameras in last week's episode. Were those feelings sincere or were they just caught in the moment? Can you truly feel like you've know someone for an eternity within days or hours or even minutes of actually meeting that person? I feel like that is true to a certain extent, but then again I think that feeling of being caught in the moment is often intertwined with the feeling of knowing someone for an eternity which leads to feeling that immense connection. I think some people get caught up and just because they grew up watching the same cartoon they instantly feel like, "wow, they're the one it&#

Divorce

Is it really that bad? Bad enough for all if not most of the participants on Married at First Sight to swear that "Divorce is not an option" for them. Even though they have not met their future spouse, they can honestly say they trust the specialists to have found the perfect match for them? That is something I would be so afraid of. They definitely have more courage and trust than I do. I do not think I could honestly say divorce was out of the question if I were in their shoes. Not only because marriage is tough and sometimes it just doesn't work, but because they have no control over who they are marrying. They are being completely set up... and what if they're set up to fail? Then what... As it is you always hear that divorce rates are at 50%, although that 50% statistic is very misleading, if not completely wrong. The divorce rates are closer to 25% for all first-time marriages to end in a divorce. And those divorces do not involve the parties mee
