May 18, 2009A fun romantic comedy - not brilliant but the funny side of it really was just that and didn't go too OTT like so many others I've seen.

February 25, 2009I thought the movie would be more popular. Concept is outdated but has hilarious lines. Ryan Reynolds puts on a good performance. One of the funniest movies in the romantic comedy genre, classic and good replay value.

January 21, 2009I found it difficult to tell Faris and Smart apart and usually I have a good visual memory for recognizing actors' faces. Reynolds is not a likable character and the movie takes a shallow view of weight and personality as it affects a social life.

... while the ending might be a foregone conclusion, getting there involves just enough slapstick manful idiocy to keep the humor moving at a clip. full review

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. full review

Kyle Smith, New York Post
Just Friends shows that a lifeless idea can rise up out of its script crypt and put a stranglehold on 2,000-plus screens. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The best scenes in Just Friends take place offscreen. full review

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. full review
