What happens

No Strings Attached is a 2011 American romantic comedy film directed and co-produced by Ivan Reitman.

The film premiered in Westwood, Los Angeles on January 11, 2011 and was released by Paramount Pictures in the United States on January 21, 2011, to mixed reviews, with praise for the lead pair's performances and chemistry, but criticism for its direction and screenplay.
