Review of Just Friends (2005) by Alejandra P — 20 Dec 2009
This film really delivers. It sets you up thinking - seen this all before admittedly in reverse where the ugly girl grows up to be a beautiful swan not the guy - but I have to say Ryan Reynolds does a great job with a fantastic supporting cast (him and his brother are hilarious) and I would recommend a watch.
The set up initially caused me some concern thinking it was just another 'lets laugh at the fat kid' movie but actually I found it was not about him being over weight or geeky, but just about how we are when we are teenagers.
The scene where he is singing into a mirror - genius. And let's face it, we have all been there.... It's not the greatest movie ever made, not even the greatest RomCom ever made but it was really enjoyable and a good laugh.
A pleasant surprise.
