What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Helen Herimbi  Predictable end to movie sex romp | 10 |  |
| Die Burger Anna-Retha Bouwer Vinnige pas, fraai vryers vermaak | 10 | |
| Cape Times Michael Rechtshaffen Palpable chemistry | 15 |  |
| Box Office Amy Nicholson Its Hackers-esque need to be of the moment can't disguise the fact that director Will Gluck has made a '40s comedy in millennial skivvies. | 10 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli Between all the explosions and superhero action, it's nice to take a break and watch two people predictably fall in love. | 15 | |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers Welcome to the 1000th movie (OK, I'm not that sure of the number) about a guy and a girl who say they're just in it for the sex. That way they can stay friends. Oh brother! | 10 | |
| ScreenIt T. Durgin Enough of the picture does work for me to recommend it for those who don't mind an R-rated sex comedy that is focused on sex for pretty much all of its running time. | 13 |  |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Friends with Benefits adds nothing new to its well-worn rom-com formula, but the chemistry between Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis is almost enough to carry the movie by itself. | 15 | |
