No Strings Attached (film)
Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher) initially meet as teenagers at summer camp. They meet again ten years later at a party at the University of Michigan, where Adam is a student and Emma is visiting for her father’s funeral in Ann Arbor. A year later, Emma and Adam have another fortuitous meeting while at a farmer’s market in Los Angeles, where Emma has just become a resident at a local hospital and Adam is a production assistant for Secret High, a music TV-show, with aspirations of becoming a staff writer for the show. Adam takes down Emma’s phone number, but the two don’t have contact again for another year.
Now a year later, Adam becomes distraught when he learns that his eccentric father (Kevin Kline)-who used to be the star of a TV show called Great Scott-is having a relationship with Adam’s ex-girlfriend Vanessa (Ophelia Lovibond). Determined to “get back on the wagon”, Adam starts calling every woman in his cell phone. The next day, he wakes up after a drunken night to find out that he text-messaged Emma and came to the home she shares with some other residents, including her best friend Patrice (Greta Gerwig).
