    I thought it would be a better romantic comedy, but I didn't like it so much. The character of Ryan Reynolds did some too stupid things and I don't like that kind of jokes.

    This movie makes me laugh even if I have watched it like 5 times a day. "She's all right, she has her toothpaste".

    I love Ryan Reynolds, but Amy Smart gets on my nerves. She plays the same character in every movie, it seems. And for the love of god will people PLEASE stop putting Chris Klein in movies? He's a terrible actor!

    Anyway, this was pretty predictable but had some choice cuts of humor throughout -- there was one part that took place at a frozen lake that had me laughing out loud, and Anna Faris as the psycho ex was scary, but funnily so.

    This movie was funny and irritating at the same time. It reminds me to warn all men to stay out of the friends zone.

    Had some really funny laugh out loud moments. Although, the ending is highly predictable. Good for a lazy afternoon.

    This movie is terrible in every sense of the word. Really, I just thought it was horrendously awful. Ryan Reynolds is unbearably atrocious. If you run across this one on t.v. and can't find anything else on, just do yourself a favor and take a nap.

    There were some funny parts: Ryan Reynolds fighting with his brother, Anna Faris as a crazy pop star, and Chris Klein as a former classmate. However, Ryan's character has become a bit obnoxious since he lost weight, and he acts self-absorbed around his male friend. Amy Smart's character, although attractive, is fairly bland.
    Funny movie, but I feel I should care about these 2 characters getting together and I don't.

    Funny watch. The sibling fighting was hilarious and Faris' character super weird. And I didn't even know if I wanted the Guy to get the Girl in this movie because he spent half the time being a jerk so that was a change.

    Very funny. A great cast that go really well together. I was in stitches for some of the film. The only little annoying thing was ryan reynolds trying to be a bit like jim carrey. Still a film to put in if you want a laugh.

    Totally predicatable with some actually funny moments.

    The acting is mostly annoying. Anna Faris, who acts like a Britney Spears wannabe, overacts so horribly that it hurts. Amy Smart is cute but that's all. Ryan Reynolds has comedic talent but he ends up acting with the same manners as in his previous films.

    The fight scenes between the brothers are the highlights of this movie. They give you some good laughs.

    A very famous person once said ?this report but its own length protects itself from being read? I can?t remember who said it off hand. (Can?t remember if it was Roosevelt or Churchill)

    I usually don?t like these kind of movies but I think every guy has a few ?friend zone? SNAFU and the longer it lasts the worse (10 years here). Oh I swear I was the first person to think of the ?friend zone? perhaps many other guys have thought that as well. However, seeing this movie didn?t offer much comfort as even though like the main character I really try to move on and mentally ?break up? with the person I became ?Just Friends? with but, the come down is never any easier. And even when I think I?m moving on something reminds me or I talk to her again either way I?m back to acting a fool. I keep telling myself that chasing her this long is wrong and I totally went through all the mind frick that happened in the movie (but even worse it was weather to ask her out or just chill) The sad part is there where times when it really could of went to the next level (that being dating) but I played the mind games on myself and never asked her.
    Perhaps Lincoln?s famous quote (paraphrase) ?It is better to be thought of as a fool then open your mouth and remove all doubt.? doesn?t apply to relationships. Perhaps I could have at least been a successful fool. I figured it would be best for her to move on since I thought I would slow her down form what she might like. I now realize that what is best for me might also be best for someone else. I have a hard time moving on I can seriously say that I can?t imagine ever becoming like he was before he came home. Plus it is not fair to go after other girls till I can some how shake this one because they will have the same problem there not her.
    In addition to this movie last week I found someone who not only went through this but worked into dating her again and even married her. The person was my pastor and it was part of his sermon. (Talking about how some dreams die but then new ones are born and in this case some never leave.)
    This all may sound bad at first but it ends well. You see I thought she was something special when I was something like 8 maybe 10 years old. And she got my E-mail address (or at the time still called addy) and we talked, we talked a lot, we spent middle school talking and I thought it was great but still even then wanted to ask her out but said why blow what I already have a theory that would prove to bring a lot of emotional pain in high school. And the rise of the fad emo didn?t help as I try to avoid fads this meant showing no pain about this so when ever she talked about her new boyfriend who she doesn?t like that much I just said the worse possible things that came to mind like of that?s great I?m glade you found someone and even to the point where she asked for relationship advice. But the icing on the cake is a memory burn into my brain all too vividly where she asked me if I had any cute friends I could introduce to her (if your wondering about when is it you hit ?friend zone? well if you hit here your in way to far and are even creeping up on the she thinks I?m one of her gay friends (look I?m not about to get into talking about that but it is safe to say that your not going to go see a movie unless of course it is not a ?date?)
    Blah I don?t want to get into this and if your thinking what are you talking about you pretty much wrote a short story about it well this is not even the half of this existential melt down this movie caused simply because I been there and done that over and over again. In short this would of made all her boyfriends (the main heart pain the brought was the fact that she would not talk to me when she had one) a weight a lot easier to bare (even though I threw people around in high school with emotional problems like this you could use all the help you can get) if only I watched this as a freshman. That could have saved years of self harming mutilations and suicidal thoughts (again something I had to cover up because of the emo fad even though it started in 8th grade and ended in 10th grade starting and stopping before emo came out normally I would put one of my ?perhaps? here but this is a fact that it is because I went through what was latter commercialized that really pissed me off it is like saying don?t worry this kind of stuff isn?t that bad well I can tell you it is I felt completely worthless and had emo started when I felt like that and I thought it was normal I would of finished the job a started).

    This movie has reassured something I have been putting together for half a decade now. That love really is a fool?s game and if you want to win don?t be afraid to act a fool. Ah typing this has seemed to be good therapy so much so that I will post it. Also I would when fear on the off chance someone finds this and reads it because of the head line.

    Well if you made it through that you deserve a cookie and maybe even something to wrap this all up with. As you can see through all the psycho babble it has been hard for me to even find a point to this but I guess finding a point to love is impossible, wait that doesn?t add up love have a very good point perhaps it is not loving that is pointless, yes that adds up.

    I laughed my ass off with this movie! Great example of how we embarrass ourselves in front of the one we love, no matter how cool we are with others. Also great demonstration of male siblings fighting over and over again! I think it is one of the best comedies we've seen since "Bruce Almighty"!!!

    This movie grows on me a little bit more each time I watch a bit of it. It helps that Amy Smart is in it.
