I read some of the reviews on here and this movie is HILARIOUS! Someone wrote this movie should have had an R rating. I guess this person lives in a hut. There is no sex or nudity in this film. Ryan Reynolds, Amy Smart and Ana Farris play off of each other in this movie. I guess people want this movie to be an Academy Award winning movie. It's pure entertainment. You will laugh the entire time. Ana Farris makes this movie. A must watch movie.
I tend to rate on a bell curve, so compared to other movies with amazing stories, beautiful cinematography, innovating editing, this movies defiantly would be more of a 5/10 but as a mid 00's romantic comedy this movies surpassed mt expectations.Just Friends hits the mark perfect mark of sarcastic over the top comedy that would follow a post clueless teen audience into their early adulthood. Ryan Reynolds' comedic timing fits perfectly with Anna Faris' over the top pop star, filling in quite nicely for a mediocre plot.So while this is not the best movies out there, this is defiantly the right movie for a lazy night of laughs.
If the only reason you're "friends" with a woman is to get her to sleep with you you're a terrible person. Just because your friend isn't sexually attracted to you dear neck beards does not make her a bad person. If the only value women have to you is to sleep with them and you can't see the value in her friendship only then that makes you a terrible person. This movie encompasses the sexist idea that if a girl has a male friend she doesn't want to sleep with she's a bad person when actually it's the "friend" who is dehumanizing her and devaluing her friendship that is the a**hole. Also this film just isn't very well made.
As I scrolled down to my 1 star ratings and saw the other titles, I felt adding this to a rank with House of a Thousand Corpses and Seed of Chucky was a bit harsh. Regardless, I still felt the need to take a shower after watching this movie; however, let me tell you that the stink of bad movie does not wash off easily.The only thing that saved this from being 1 star was a fat suit, retainer-wearing Ryan Reynolds singing I Swear. During no other point in the 96 minutes of this cinematic torture tactic did I find this movie amusing, captivating or funny. Not only did it stick to the overly-predictable chick-flick formula that keeps you one step ahead of the writers, but I could not find myself able to relate to a single character on any one-dimensional level.Aside from the fact that every romance movie is (understandably) completely unrealistic, this one takes it a step further and adds a total realm of normalcy to what should absolutely be awkwardness from a 10 year long cold-shoulder. I will never think about this movie again--it has officially been filed with the rest of my regrets, even the regret where I was rejected by the fat boy with the tiny backpack when I asked him out in High School. Yeah, that really happened. In short, I hated this movie.
