Hopefully people see that onscreen and that it translates onscreen.New York – When Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis get together, look out. The dynamic duo that star in what Kunis calls a "buddy comedy with a little romance" love to joke around, and at the Monday, July 18, New York premiere of "Friends With Benefits," they hugged and snuggled just enough to make onlookers wonder. Are they a real-life couple or do they just play one in the movies?

Kunis chuckled when asked that question at an earlier press conference for the flim. "I think that we got lucky. We work well together. Hopefully people see that onscreen and that it translates onscreen. That's all," the dark-haired beauty insisted.

And Timberlake agreed, chiming in, "We share a lowbrow sense of humor. We actually bonded more over the rehearsal period because it was longer than a normal rehearsal period and we weren't actually on camera. So, we could get together and rehearse and laugh about the script and screw it up and find every way that we thought it was wrong so that we could find the way that we thought it was right. When you do that with someone and it's just the two of you, you become friends."

But both agree they are not "Friends With Benefits," just the stars of the movie of that name, which Timberlake says audiences will appreciate because "it's an adult comedy, a real-situation comedy from a male and female perspective about the way that two people who are close to the same age see the world right now."

Plenty of the duo's co-stars and pals turned out to catch the comedy, including Emma Stone, Patricia Clarkson, Richard Jenkins, Shaun White, Bryan Greenberg, Jenna Elfman and director Will Gluck from the film, and beauties Rose Byrne, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Melissa George, Irina Shayk, Julie Henderson and Jessica Perez. Other fans of the starring duo who came out to see the movie including Gayle King, designer Christian Siriano, singer Michael Bolton and Darryl Strawberry.
