I enjoyed Captain America: The First Avenger a lot. I was not sure going into it that I would like it because the initial reviews were not that stellar, but it really was quite entertaining. I would not say it was the best movie of the summer, but it is definitely worth seeing.
There are a few spoilers here, so I advise you to proceed with caution.
The first thing that stood out to me in the movie was that it was funnier than I expected it to be. There is very little humor in any of the trailers, but there is a lot of humor in the film. I am not saying it is a comedy, but there are some great one liners. I do not know why I was so surprised by this, but I was, and I it was one of the things that made me like this film as much as I did.
Friends with Benefits stars Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake as two friends who decide to start having sex without being in a romantic relationship. In fact, they are purposely trying to avoid all the Hollywood clichés that you always see in romantic comedies. However, despite their best efforts, their relationship still gets complicated.
