According to the script ...
Now consider what happens directly in the film "Friendship Sex." The plot can not be called unique, but still it is not commonplace. A young and very attractive girl from New York named Jamie breaks up with her boyfriend. You see, he thinks she is overly emotional. At work, she has to meet with Dylan, a Los Angeles-based blogger. In addition to work, young people spend a lot of time together, find a common language in literally everything.

To distract her friend from love failure, Dylan invites her to her in Los Angeles. Jamie meets his parents and family. By accidentally overhearing Dylan’s conversation with his sister, Jamie realizes that he is not going to build a relationship with her, and she escapes from him.

And now we offer to know better those who are most remembered by us.
Jamie
“Friendship Sex” - the film of 2011, the beginning of the peak of popularity of a young actress with Ukrainian roots - Mila Kunis. It was she who got the main role in this project, with which she coped brilliantly. In principle, Mila and her heroine Jamie have a lot in common - both young, very beautiful, promising and energetic. At that time, both were in search of their soulmate. Most people are convinced that Jamie is a completely “touched” personality. But this only repels some (for example, her ex), while others are attracted. Dylan would certainly not have paid attention to her if she had not been so unconventional and impulsive.
Dylan
Incredibly popular singer and actor and one of Hollywood's most enviable grooms - Justin Timberlake - played the main male role in the comedy "Friendship Sex". Dylan is a reserved, well-educated guy, one might say right. He adheres to a healthy lifestyle, he has all his things and work papers in order, he even crosses the road only to the green light. But here there were some oddities. And they consist in the fact that the ex-girl left Dylan precisely because he is emotionless and dry, too tightly clamped and always keeps everything in himself. But one just needs to get to know Dylan more closely, how it becomes clear that he is gentle and vulnerable, has his own "fad" and a very funny man.
Father and mother
Recall the parents of the main characters. We are shown mother Jamie - an eccentric woman who was "raised" in the 70s. She does not even know who her daughter’s father is, but she loves and is proud of her. As for Mr. Harper - Dylan's father, he suffers from Alzheimer's disease. He does not like to wear pants, even in public places, which constantly causes a storm of protest among others. His wife left Harper for a long time, and, as he himself admits, probably because he always loved a completely different girl.
Friendship Sex: Reviews and Criticism
Many viewers noted that the film turned out to be painfully simple and unpretentious. Most of them liked it - no “burden”, confusion and tension. Only jokes, laughter and lightness. Even despite the fact that this plot is not quite typical, the actors managed to play it without unnecessary "bells and whistles". This made the film understandable to everyone, available for viewing at almost any (except for children) age.
