Friends With Benefits looks like the sort of film I would never watch. Ever. The title, the poster, the actors… everything about it says “Andy, this is NOT for you”.
Then, last night I noticed an amusing detail in the poster. It might not look like a ‘detail’ here (as I type, I realise how blatant it is) but on the buses I’ve seen it flash past on, I didn’t notice it the first six or seven times.
I appreciate gestures like this. It reminds me of the adult touches that appear in children’s programmes like Sesame Street. It says: OK, this is a bit lame and probably not your thing, BUT it’s made by people who are more like you than you think and who want to sprinkle in some less lame stuff.
Just to be clear: I will still NEVER watch this movie. But still.
