Synopsis
When 14-year-old Emma Kurtzman (Natalie Portman) turned down the
awkward, teenage advances of Adam Franklin (Ashton Kutcher) outside
of the Big Lodge at Camp Weehawken, neither of them had any clue
about real, adult sex. But the opposite is true when their paths
cross and they end up in bed having sex - really good sex.
As all Emma’s relationships end on the rocks, just as Adam has
sworn them off, mostly because his once famous television star dad
(Kevin Kline) is now dating Adam’s most recent ex-girlfriend, the
two decide to forego the accompanying emotional muddle of a
relationship and just be friends with benefits. "No strings
attached" means no jealousy, no expectations, no fighting, no
flowers, no baby voices. It means they can do whatever they want,
whenever they want, in whatever public place they want, as long as
they don't fall in love.
What starts out as a perfect solution to physical need becomes a
little more tricky when Adam inadvertently brings his feelings to
bed (and to the hospital closet, the back seat of the car and just
about anywhere that provides horizontal support). Eventually, both
wind up trying to untangle the strings they were trying to avoid
altogether while struggling to answer one key question:
can two friends have sex without love getting in the way?
