Manic energy and an agreeable level of comic insanity turn Just Friends into the kind of brainless comedy you can enjoy as a modest guilty pleasure. If you liked director Roger Kumble's previous comedy The Sweetest Thing (and let's face it, that movie had some really funny moments), chances are you'll get at least a few solid belly-laughs from this not-so-high-concept premise, in which a formerly fat high-schooler named Chris (Ryan Reynolds) is transformed, ten years later, into a womanizing music executive with a high-profile client (Anna Faris) in the Britney Spears/Christina Aguilera mold. As it zips along with some broad-stroked slapstick and snappy one-liners, the screenplay by Adam Tex Davis contrives to reunite Chris with Jamie (Amy Smart), the former cheerleader who was the great, unrequited love of Chris' miserable high-school life. By his narcissistic logic, he'll seduce her by treating her badly (i.e. she'll want what she thinks she can't have), but he gets unexpected competition in the form of a "Mr. Sensitive" type (Chris Klein, from American Pie), and it's pretty much Hollywood formula from there on, as Just Friends loses momentum without losing its basic appeal. And while Reynolds invests his character with an unexpected degree of emotional nuance, Faris (Scary Movie 3) pulls out all the stops, going deliriously over-the-top to maintain her reputation as a rising comedy starlet with a (hopefully) promising future. We're not talking rocket science here, folks... just sit back, take off your thinking cap, and have some fun. --Jeff Shannon

I just saw this movie on TV the other night and found it thoroughly enjoyable and hilarious! So much so that I just ordered it from amazon.com. Ryan Reynolds was awesome...very funny, wonderful actor! We watched him years ago in "Two Guys, A Girl, and A Pizza Place". Loved Chris Marquette (the little brother) and Anna Faris (the pop star)as well. They all had me in stitches. The interaction between those three characters was my favorite parts of the movie. Anna as the very self-indulgent and unstable pop star and Chris as the annoying little brother were great! This is a movie that I'll be watching over and over again.

I think that Ryan Davis and Amy Smart make a great combination.
Bad news is that this movie stunk.
There were a few moments where I did laugh my butt off, but, overall, I kept waiting for the movie to be over.
Skip this one.

really great movie; i saw it on tv and loved it even though it was edited (i think any movie's funnier with profanity). bought it around a month ago and have watched it several times already. ryan reynolds' fat suit and puffy hair along with his rendition of boys II men is awesome. i'd reccommend to anyone and everyone. BFF!!

If you've seen any Ryan Reynolds films, then you know what to expect. Hilarious every time.
