A Good Holiday Romantic Comedy with likable characters and a decent amount of laughs.
“Just Friends” is about a guy named Chris (Ryan Reynolds) who in high school was an overweight but caring, sweet, and likable guy. Chris wanted to date his best friend Jamie (Amy Smart) but they never did because she wanted to just be friends and date the cool guys. Ten years later, Chris sheds all his weight and is now a big time record producer touring with the hottest pop star Samantha James (Anna Faris). While on their plane to Paris, Chris and Samantha’s plane has to make an emergency landing and the plane lands near Chris’s old home town. To make matters worst, Chris winds up going into the bar where he runs into his old crush Jamie. So does Chris have what it takes for Jamie and him to be more than just friends?

“Just Friends” is not a great movie by any means but a likable romantic comedy. Sure the movie is predictable but it’s a fun and ultimately sweet movie. I actually like the fact that the movie had a nice message in the end which basically said “be yourself and it will pay off in the end.” The jokes for the most part worked for me because they were all pretty innocent and didn’t really rely on sex gags to sell the movie.

I did however get annoyed by the amount of gay jokes in the film which like I always say are never really that funny and get old very fast. I understand as much as I rant about gay jokes there not going to stop but let’s hope that they can be limited. There is only one gay joke in the entire film that works, while there are about 10 in the entire film.

As far as acting goes, I must say it’s about time that Ryan Reynolds stars in a decent movie!!! I have been waiting for years to actually go into a theater and see something of his that doesn’t totally suck! You see I always wanted to like him but most of the material he has done just didn’t appeal to me and every time I saw a movie he was in, I hated it with a passion. I think this role worked for him because he had to play a likable character and while many will say he always plays a likable character I say that he always plays the same sarcastic cool guy character. This role allowed him to still be his normal character for some part but also a likable character as well. Mr. Reynolds has finally gotten out of his box and played a role that wasn’t tailor made for him.

As for the rest of the cast, Amy Smart was also very likable as the best friend Jamie. She was honestly a very sweet and caring person and you really wanted her to date Chris at least in the beginning. Anna Faris who again plays the same character in every movie did play her “typical” airhead role. But she played a stereotypical brainless pop star and played it perfectly. And while I must admit I do like pop music, I found her whole performance hilarious. She basically played Jessica Simpson in the movie and there are a few jokes that really imply that’s who they were mocking.

The reason I think I actually enjoyed this film was that I could relate to the characters. The main character Chris was like a few people in high school including myself, a really nice guy who was friends with a lot of very pretty girls but never moved past that point because of their image or how they were perceived in school wouldn’t allow them to be more than just friends. And while the movie doesn’t really seem realistic it is made by Hollywood, which at times gives people a chance to believe that the underdog will come out on top. “Just Friends” isn’t going for a Best Picture nomination or even trying to be original but it does a decent job of what its suppose to do and that is provide jokes and some romance which the film does and does it very well.

All in all, “Just Friends” is a guilty pleasure film. It’s not one that will do well at box office or be liked by everyone (most critics gave it rather poor reviews) but I don’t think it was a film created for critics but a specific limited audience. And while the film’s marketing makes this film look like a typical teen movie, I feel it’s a bit more mature than that even though some of the characters in the film are almost childlike. Overall “Just Friends” shows how important it is to be yourself and act mature. It is also proof that Ryan Reynolds can play a different character and is actually good at it. As long as you don’t go into the theater expecting a film that is original and thought-provoking you should be fine because this movie is a decent holiday romantic comedy that both guys and girls alike can enjoy.

MovieManMenzel’s final rating for “Just Friends” is a 7/10 and it will be added to my guilty pleasure section of my DVD collection when it is released on DVD in a few months.

characters are an unlikeable pathetic mess.
Chris Brander (Ryan Reynolds) is an overweight teen and he’s in love with his best friend Jamie Palamino (Amy Smart). But in an attempt to proclaim his love, he makes a fool of himself in front of a class party. And Jamie just want to be friends. Now they’re grown up and he’s not fat anymore. Plus he’s a success in the music industry. He has to accompany a ridiculous pop princess Samantha James (Anna Faris). Their jet catches on fire and they land back in his home town. It just might be his chance to be more than friends with Jamie.

Chris is an unlikeable character. And I don’t think I rooted for him and Jamie to get together. Anna Faris is playing her character way too broad. At least I thought so, until the pond hockey game with the kids. The whole thing is full of anger, the characters are an unlikeable pathetic mess, and there are so many douchey characters. It’s just too hard to root for anybody in this one.
