Friends with Benefits
The movie friends with benefits staring Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake are practicing Sternberg’s Triangular Theory in the beginning of the movie. They are simply friends, there relationship is intimate but has no passion or commitment involved (liking triangle). They decide that they want to try and add sex to their friendship, with no commitment or strings attached, just like they see in movies.
They then adopt Lee’s Ludos style of love- very playful and casual. The sexual relationship is all fun and games with no commitment. They often make "booty calls" to eachother. However, in the end of the movie they fall for each other and some might argue that they have a healthy normal relationship.
