Some friendships end happily ever after.

Jamie Rellis is an executive headhunter at an employment agency in New York. His next assignment is to interview Dylan Harper, an art director who works for a small internet company in Los Angeles and hopes to land a job at GQ magazine. At first, Dylan is skeptical of the offer and hesitates to accept the job. Jamie tries to convince him and takes him on a tour of the city over one night. Dylan ends up accepting the job and moves to New York on a one-year contract, which earns Jamie a commission. The new job also means a major life change for Dylan, who leaves Los Angeles behind.

Trivia about Friends with Benefits

Screen Gems sped up production out of fear of losing the title to the Paramount project that director Ivan Reitman had renamed No Strings Attached.
Timberlake and Kunis rehearsed the script for more than a month before the film went into production. Gluck met with them with twenty script pages in hand.
Besides the lead stars and main cast, the movie features special appearances by Shaun White, Jason Segel and Rashida Jones.
The first trailer, released on March 16, 2011, passed one million views on YouTube in 48 hours and became the second most-watched video of the day.
