Or, and this matters when thinking of this movie, she’s also not a sexy person
) and passed some judgments: I mean, this cannot possibly be any good, right? Nothing about this seems to work, right? Well, wrong. Obviously, we’re not talking about anyone winning any awards for anything here but ?No Strings Attached? is a very funny, start-to-finish (or: ALMOST start to finish, since it does kick off on the unfortunate ?flashback on how they met? foot ) entertaining movie with a great cast and lots of knowing winks sprinkled throughout.
