okay this is a great rom-com that feels so early 2000s it's insane even though it was made in 2005 like seriously this movie needs to grow the fuck up. also this is a chirstmas movie which automatically makes it better than most movies. and ryan reynolds beating the shit out of people when he's not deadpool is so fucking funny but mainly i want to take this opportunity to talk about the masterpiece CRANK (2006). it came out a year after this. how the fuck. like amy smart did CRANK right after this. holy shit. CRANK is a cinematic revolution. it's the most insane action film of all time and it works brilliantly as a comedy too. that is…

A film about the friend zone, Roger Kumble's "Just Friends" is the kind of broad, loud comedy whose lack of subtlety serves as a sometimes hilarious, sometimes off-putting calling card. Fortunately, "Just Friends" leans slightly more to the hilarious side, resulting in a fun and goofy experience.

Starring Amy Smart and Ryan Reynolds as a couple of lifelong friends who reunite years after High School graduation, the holiday-set narrative follows the two from their cuddly-puppy teen years to their career-minded adulthood. The film focuses mostly on Reynolds' character's transition from good-natured bumbler to lothario and his attempt to turn friendship, perhaps, into something more.

The cast is solid, and the film gives Reynolds an excuse to channel Jim Carrey and…

I know, I know... It's just that I've warmed up to it after watching it every time it comes on. Ryan Reynolds can be very charismatic and Amy Smart knows how to play the perfect romantic lead.

"Just Friends" is about a guy who used to be fat in high school and got stuck in the "friend zone" for it when trying to tell Jamie Palamino (Amy Smart) how much he loved her. Now he's all grown up and living a successful life in LA as a record producer, and he can get any woman he wants, but he wants to go back to his home town. He wants to see if he can now reconnect with the woman of…

I expected so much more from Just Friends especially because of the actors. Ryan Reynolds, Amy Smart, and Anna Faris seemed like a very promising cast but they just didnt work together in this film. The first problem I had with this film is that Ryan Reynolds was not a very likeable character and he never seemed to be that same person he once was in high school and completley messed up during the whole movie trying to win her best friends love. This movie made me feel like I was watching Ben Stiller in Meet The Parents all over again except this time around the main character, Chris was screwing up bad trying to win the heart of his…

I feel like I shouldn't like this movie, but actually I really do.

What could be a kind of generic rom-com, this movie is elevated by a number of really great performances by some funny and charismatic actors. Amy Smart, Chris Klein, the guy from Corner Gas, the friend from Girl Next Door, and the lady from Airplane are all great in this movie and put in solid comedic performances. Ryan Reynolds is great in this role. His smarminess which can be annoying sometimes is utilized perfectly in this movie to make him seem like a douche when he needs to be one and he's charming when he needs to be. Plus the dynamic with his little brother is so…
