JAN 23, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Actress Natalie Portman is on a high these days. Her performance in the blockbuster ‘Black Swan’ won her rave reviews and made the film a smash hit of 2010. The recent Golden Globe win has also bolstered her prospects at the upcoming academy awards. There were a number of critics who criticized her newly released movie ‘No Strings Attached’ saying that her image is not suitable for a romantic comedy. However, the versatile actress has silenced her detractors including those reviewers who gave the movie a lackluster response. The R rated comedy which also has Hollywood hottie Ashton Kutcher has clicked big time with the movie viewers, the flaws in its plots notwithstanding.
The Box office report is definitely encouraging for the producers of the romcom ‘No Strings Attached’ since the movie grossed $7.3 million on its opening day. The Paramount film defeated Sony’s The Green Hornet which was ruling the box office before this Friday. The early reviews of the film pointed out that the character of Natalie Portman in it is too cold and that it fails to win the heart of the viewers. However, the initial box office collection says that the viewers think otherwise. Needless to say the movie has a number of steamy scenes featuring the lead pair. The scenes also generated much buzz after the trailer of the film was released.
With No Strings Attached Natalie Portman has proved that she is capable of doing versatile roles. It is expected that the movie’s overall weekly collection will beat that of its main rival at the box office, The Green Hornet.
