About Friends with Benefits
Having ended their respective relationships, co-workers Alex and Jessica decide to check out a "swingers" party together. However, the intrigue and excitement of this "lifestyle" has rules. They must be together, and although they can play separately, they must be seen as a couple for this group to accept them. Inhibitions as slowly dissolved when they are welcomed into the group. As they share these new experiences together, Alex and Jessica begin to develop feelings for each other that are beyond sexual attraction and could very well be a spark of love.
Directed by Paul Thomas, Friends with Benefits leans on a strong ensemble — Brooklyn Lee, Krissy Lynn, Dahlia Sky — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2012.
