Reviews for Just Friends
No one will be surprised by the plot machinations that ensue, but the film is saved from utter tedium thanks to a relatively intelligent screenplay and the amiability of the leads.
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.
Every single person operates with the maturity and common sense of a dog chasing its tail. Into a tree.
Bursting at the seams with lashings of heart, this is comedy at its broadest, with larger-than-life situations, a smartly sharp script and knock-out performances from an instantly likeable cast.
Reynolds' brand of sarcastic humour suits his part well, whilst Smart is as adorable here as she was in The Butterfly Effect.
Just Friends is sweet and mostly pleasant to pass the time with...but there's little justification to enter into a serious engagement with it.
Just Friends suggests that Reynolds and Faris have potential greatness together
