Plot

While trying to avoid the clichés of Hollywood romantic comedies, Dylan and Jamie soon discover however that adding the act of sex to their friendship does lead to complications. <br>American sex comedies are famously toothless when compared to their European equivalent. While this film tries to push the envelope while 'tipping the velvet', it remains innately innocent and conservative. Still, Timberlake and Kunis are lovely to look at and the lack of frisson between them in a way works in the film's favour.
