Movie Review: Just friends
The title is pretty explanatory on what the movie is about, another situation that we will all experience if we haven’t yet already. Being told by your all time crush that they want to be “just friends”. Ouch, that hurts, and what hurts more is when after all those years you think you have a chance, and you still get shot down. That’s what this movie is mainly based on. A dorky, overweight kid, Ryan Reynolds, has a huge crush on this girl Jamie, all through out high school. But when it comes to graduation the thinks it’s time to reveal his true feelings for her. Unfortunately for him, he gets told that his crush has always loved him…as a brother. After that, he runs away to California and doesn’t return to his hometown till ten years later.
Stuck in New Jersey with a client of his, Anna Farris, who happens to be a famous pop star in the movie, they find their way back to his old house, where his family warmly greets him with the surprise visit. Of course, he then runs into his old crush, who is in awe by the way he looks, since he lost all of his fat. Now that he’s looking good, he thinks he can finally get with Jamie, but there are numerous obstacles that he has to get over on the way.
This movie is one of my all time favorite movies. I love Anna Farris’ character, because she’s ridiculously stupid and annoying, but that’s what makes it so funny. Ryan Reynolds is also always pretty comical. But there are parts in the movie when you just want to punch him for being such a jerk. It’s that big man ego all guys develop, or at least the majority.
There are also some good tips for those people looking to get past the “friend zone” with the one you’ve had your eye on. Just remember, it’s important to be yourself.
