Movies that feel likeNo Strings Attached (2011)

Emma is a busy doctor who sets up a seemingly perfect arrangement when she offers her best friend Adam a relationship with one rule: No strings attached. But when a fling becomes a thing, can sex friends stay best friends?

If you loved No Strings Attached, the closest films we have are Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008), Definitely, Maybe (2008) and Trainwreck (2015). All three share No Strings Attached's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Obvious Child (2014).
