Hey, it's a morning for red band trailers. This one for Ivan Reitman's relationship comedy **No Strings Attached comes with a promise that the final cut will have sexual content, language and drug material, and most of it's in the clip! Hoorah!
Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher star as the best friends who share an impromptue tryst and then decide it's ok to continue as long as there are ground rules, like no calling in the afternoon just to say "I was thinking about you"; no staring longingly into each other's eyes; no jealousy; no fighting... You get the idea. The trailer also suggests that balloons are not a good call, but we'll have to wait for the the full movie to see quite how the period-mix CD goes down.
Will the relationship survive? We're going out on a limb here to suggest that maybe it'll go well, and then it'll go badly, and then it'll end up going well again, but Reitman's are confident and experienced comedy hands, so there should be surprises along the way. Kevin Kline co-stars as Kutcher's "tunnel buddy" father, and Cary Elwes, Lake Bell, Olivia Thirlby, Ludacris and Greta Gerwig are also along for the ride.
Elizabeth Meriweather wrote the rambunctious script, and the film's out in the UK on February 25.
