Reviews for Just Friends
Reynolds does a tremendous job of presenting a hardened, cocky L.A. demeanor and allowing cracks of old despair and self-doubt to chip cracks in the façade.
During the credits, Reynolds is again shown in the fat suit while singing a power ballad, reminding us all how funny Just Friends could have been.
Just Friends is funnier than any low-rent rip-off of There's Something About Mary has a right to be.
With Reynolds mugging and rolling his eyes from coast to coast, this friendly teen frolic doesn't need enemies.
[D]espite revisiting every romantic comedy archetype ever conceived, Just Friends still manages to entertain.
Even with young talent, director Roger Kumble and writer Adam Davis rely way too heavily (no pun intended) on the fat-suit joke and titular impasse.
Um bom conceito (e não estou dizendo que este é bom) só funciona quando amparado por um bom roteiro. E definitivamente não é isto que ocorre aqui.
The joy of Just Friends is watching these embittered, sidetracked cynics working their particular little brands of black magic.
Anna Faris again demonstrates that she is fearless when it comes to physical stunts and comedic excesses.
