Just Friends movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Peter Debruge, Miami Herald: This is superficial entertainment to say the least. But if you're looking for laughs, then Just Friends is just fine. Read more
Allison Benedikt, Chicago Tribune: 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. Read more
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times: An uneven black comedy that fails to sell its coldhearted, central premise, Just Friends finds actor Ryan Reynolds in his most tedious turn yet as a theoretically likable reprobate. Read more
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: It's a thoroughly enjoyable three- or four-gimmick comedy, highlighted by a whorish dimwit pop star played by Anna Faris. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: Just Friends is just stupid. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: 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. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Just Friends is funnier than any low-rent rip-off of There's Something About Mary has a right to be. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: There have been worse premises for a romantic comedy, but director Roger Kumble and writer Adam "Tex" Davis could scarcely have done a worse job developing it. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: ... while the ending might be a foregone conclusion, getting there involves just enough slapstick manful idiocy to keep the humor moving at a clip. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: [A] cheerily clean and notably bright teen comedy. Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Think of Just Friends as this season's answer to last year's Surviving Christmas, making you wonder what you did to deserve more movie coal in your stocking. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: The infectious high spirits of the performers help to carry the day. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: Just Friends is funnier the sillier it gets, perhaps hitting a crescendo during the slap fights between the brothers, who begin beating each other with regularity, as if they'd never stopped. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: With its slapstick car wrecks and sports injuries, the movie is like a Michael Bay take on Garden State. It wants to be painfully funny, but it really is just plain painful to watch. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Every holiday season welcomes a big-screen turkey, and this one's got extra stuffing. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: As romantic comedies go, Just Friends is just a lunch date. And everybody knows there's no kiss at the end of a lunch date. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: After watching a movie like Just Friends, I hurry home from the theater and take a shower so I can wash away the stink of the experience. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The best scenes in Just Friends take place offscreen. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: A barbed romantic comedy with a distinct debt to the Farrelly brothers' gross-out-plus-sentimentality formula, Just Friends is a welcome antidote to the usual seasonal sweetness. Read more
Tony Wong, Toronto Star: Just Friends is part Farrelly Brothers and part Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, all wrapped together to deliver gross-out gags in bizarrely random and rapid-fire fashion, with zero intent to develop sustainable plot or character. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: After peaking with the unsurpassable glories of 2003's Bad Santa, the humbug holiday genre may be getting run into the ground. Read more
Mikael Wood, Village Voice: A refreshingly mean-spirited breeze through both the holiday movie and romantic-comedy checklists (including the third-act heart of gold). Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: In all, it's not too bad and it's not too long, and any movie that sets Santa on fire is okay by me. Read more
