Just Friends (I) (2005)
7/10
Surprisingly funny
26 March 2006
This romantic comedy stars Ryan Reynolds as a former high school geek turned trendy Los Angeles music executive. When he gets stuck in his New Jersey home town due to bad weather with a superstar singer he is trying to sign (Anna Faris), he finds himself reunited with his high school crush, (Amy Smart) and discovers she is his true love. Chris Klein is also in this movie, but do we care?

I didn't really think this would be a clever funny movie. It was surprisingly funny. The plot seems to be original but it's obviously predictable. There are a lot of in jokes and I have to say that I laughed many times during this movie. I also have to say that Anna Faris stole this show. She is so funny in her own way. When I see her, I think of her being in the "Scary Movie" series, but she is a great actress and could have a future one day.She's funny by the way she talks and, because of her character in this movie, being a singer, I was laughing while she was performing one of her songs.

"Just Friends" could be a movie that anyone could watch. Friends could watch along with couples. I was surprised that I enjoyed it and how it turned out. 7/10
