Director will gluck spoke of the disappointment caused by the comparison of the two films, stating, "i have to make more of a place come out of them. What annoys me now is that people they claim that our confectioners are reworking "no possibilities". Our company do not remake it. Both films were shot at the same time.”[13] gluck told the new zealand herald that both films are different.[14] similar sentiments were expressed by kunis, stating, "it's undeniably two different films. On the internet there is only ... So many stories that you have the opportunity to tell. This is only the first of a series.” [15]

As a viewer, i don't want to go to the movies. Titled "friends with benefits" and see version pg-13. For me, a movie like this is impossible without knowing its title.
-Justin timberlake[22]
In an interview with movieline, gluck further discussed the movie's plot, stating that " friends with profits” are associated only with the younger generation. He added: “they comment on these soviet comedies at all stages of the film, and as they progress through their story, loved ones realize that the wallpaper in a solitary comedy is, as two ordinary people would say, that they cannot be chosen in a cinema. Great to see them taking part in a story like this...Only in the end they accept that they're having a romantic comedy moment."

The film holds a weighted average score of 63 out of 100 based on 37 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Audiences polled by cinemascore gave the film an average grade of b+ on an a+ to f scale. And commitments are open and open. The important questions about the inherent clash between changing mores and traditional values are a bit confusing. The sex talk is graphic, the sex itself is explicit and energetic, and jamie and dylan have a kind of tenderness that makes you want to root for them. Ironically, the problem is that friends with benefits doesn't go far enough when it comes to the essentials. As freud said, even in romantic comedies you have to take sex seriously, otherwise there will be no satisfaction.

"Friends with benefits" begins with the premise that their characters and you are fed up with romantic comedy clichés that they may or may not secretly adore are looking for ways to address this issue because they were never given the opportunity to grow an emotional landscape from a caring, approachable parent. Become caretakers. And caring is part of “going after a broken person” and trying to fix them.” He went on to add that “love addiction ending happily ever after is not a good message.”[43]
