From Amazon.co.uk

Manic energy and an agreeable level of comic insanity turn Just Friends into the kind of brainless comedy you can enjoy as a modest guilty pleasure. If you liked director Roger Kumble's previous comedy The Sweetest Thing (and let's face it, that movie had some really funny moments), chances are you'll get at least a few solid belly-laughs from this not-so-high-concept premise, in which a formerly fat high-schooler named Chris (Ryan Reynolds) is transformed, ten years later, into a womanizing music executive with a high-profile client (Anna Faris) in the Britney Spears/Christina Aguilera mold.

As it zips along with some broad-stroked slapstick and snappy one-liners, the screenplay by Adam Tex Davis contrives to reunite Chris with Jamie (Amy Smart), the former cheerleader who was the great, unrequited love of Chris' miserable high-school life. By his narcissistic logic, he'll seduce her by treating her badly (i.e. she'll want what she thinks she can't have), but he gets unexpected competition in the form of a "Mr. Sensitive" type (Chris Klein, from American Pie), and it's pretty much Hollywood formula from there on, as Just Friends loses momentum without losing its basic appeal. And while Reynolds invests his character with an unexpected degree of emotional nuance, Faris (Scary Movie 3) pulls out all the stops, going deliriously over-the-top to maintain her reputation as a rising comedy starlet with a (hopefully) promising future. We're not talking rocket science here, folks... just sit back, take off your thinking cap, and have some fun. --Jeff Shannon

4.0 out of 5 stars Got a lot more than I expected 20 July 2006
By Lucy
Format:DVD
When I first saw this film advertised I immediately thought that it would be really cheesy but my boyfriend wanted it so I decided to give it a go. I can safely say that I was pleasantly suprised by the film. It was hilarious. Some of the humour was slighty cheap but overall I loved it and it had me in stitches of laugher. If you've seen any of the Scary Movie films or Date movie or even films like american pie and have enjoyed them then I think that you will enjoy this because its the same sort of humour. Hope this helps!

5.0 out of 5 stars Laught Out loud Film 17 Dec 2011
By j
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love this film. I think this has to be one of the funniest films i have ever seen, and yet it is relatively unknown. honestly buy this film you will not regret it. I had my friend over and they all didn't want to watch it because they had never heard of it, luckily I managed to convince them and they were in stitches. Also it has really good music in it.

I really don't like the plot of this film. I suppose all the characters of a rom-com can be total fools, but the main characters. Read more
