Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern
Ivan Reitman directed, with great verve and unflagging finesse, from a terrifically funny script by Elizabeth Meriwether.

Boston Globe Tom Russo
The film is also packed with enough sharply scripted screwiness from Adam's roommate (Jake Johnson), Emma's roomie (Greta Gerwig), and others to keep viewer impatience to a minimum.

Philadelphia Inquirer Carrie Rickey
Kutcher and Portman have terrific screen physics, using their 12-inch height difference to considerable slapstick effect.

Orlando Sentinel Roger Moore
It's a movie benefiting from another sparkling, sexy and emotionally available performance by Natalie Portman.

It's all just too cute for words, and more's the pity. Because in the end, No Strings Attached is more meaningful for what it does rather than for what it says along the way.

USA Today Claudia Puig
The few genuinely comic moments and deviations from cutesy rom-com formula make you wish No Strings Attached had traveled a more distinctively offbeat path.

Adam is cute and all, but the real strings worth tying are those that bind this sisterhood of sharp, interesting, sexually active women together. Where's THEIR starring movie?

Rolling Stone Peter Travers
What's in this cliché grab bag for moviegoers? Well, Portman and Kutcher are a cute mismatch. She's short to his tall, sassy to his sweet, etc. I dried up here. So does the movie.

San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle
The movie is just good enough to make us want more and to understand what's missing.

The Hollywood Reporter Todd McCarthy
Predictable, cutesy and nowhere near hot-blooded enough.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
On the bright side, Ivan Reitman's disappointing new comedy isn't just cheap and formulaic, but so forgettable few people will even remember she (Portman) was in it.
