There's a heartwarming core to this comedy that makes it ultimately satisfying. Ryan Reynolds looks unrealistic and ridiculous in a fatsuit, but some of the film's inconsistencies are forgiven because it's so damn funny. Anna Faris as a dense music starlet steals every single scene she is in.

Just Friends review

Chris Brander (Ryan Reynolds) used to be a huge geeky kid who hangs with his best friend Jamie Palamino (Amy Smart). After 10 years have passed, Chris becomes a popular well known Producer who dates models while Jamie works as a bartender in a bar. Their batch mate Dusty Dinkleman (Chris Klein) tries to impress Jamie based on his malicious thoughts discovered by Chris. Chris needs to bring a spoiled restless and horny artist Samantha James (Anna Faris). The script was good and I enjoyed the character of Anna Faris. Unfortunately, there was nothing charming about Amy Smarts character and Reynolds may have a few over reacting parts for his. The bullying of the kids, the so called “accidents” seemed forced and ending felt abrupt. Still, Just friends can be enjoyed by those who …

There were a lot of people that knocked this movie and I can see why... but honestly I liked it, and I thought it was really funny. Ryan Reynolds is one of those guys that likes to take his character and give them a cutesy look all the while he has this smarmy sarcastic go f-yourself personality. Its funny because he can smile at someone and say something very insulting and the way he says it people don't quite know that they have been insulted.
In this he plays Chris Brander, a guy that was best friends with the hottest girl in school, the only problem is that he was really fat and she had locked him in the "Friend Zone" meaning that no matter what he did there was no way he was going to get any closer than best friends.
Well after being humiliated at the her graduation party, Chris …
