Friends with Benefits
Some friends come with a happy ending.
Directed by Will Gluck
Produced by Castle Rock Entertainment, Olive Bridge Entertainment
A witty romantic comedy that playfully deconstructs rom-com tropes while two emotionally guarded friends discover that casual arrangement and genuine connection are harder to keep separate than they thought.
Dylan is done with relationships. Jamie decides to stop buying into the Hollywood clichés of true love. When the two become friends they decide to try something new and take advantage of their mutual attraction - but without any emotional attachment.
