Just Friends Ratings & Reviews
USA Today
Mike Clark
After peaking with the unsurpassable glories of 2003's Bad Santa, the humbug holiday genre may be getting run into the ground.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
An uneven black comedy that fails to sell its coldhearted, central premise, Just Friends finds actor Ryan Reynolds in his most tedious turn yet as a theoretically likable reprobate.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
... while the ending might be a foregone conclusion, getting there involves just enough slapstick manful idiocy to keep the humor moving at a clip.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Just Friends hangs its crude, clobbering sense of humor on a dubious theory.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
It's a thoroughly enjoyable three- or four-gimmick comedy, highlighted by a whorish dimwit pop star played by Anna Faris.
Slant Magazine
Paul Schrodt
Faris's parody of pop culture's vapid idols transcends the film's own brainless romantic plot.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Painfully light on laughs.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
[D]espite revisiting every romantic comedy archetype ever conceived, Just Friends still manages to entertain.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Playing the incredibly spoiled (and remarkably talentless) Jessica Simpson meets Britney Spears meets Bimbo Barbie rock star Samantha James, Faris brings so much gleefully archaic fireball charisma to her portrayal I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
The film feels just a few degrees left of sanity.
Philadelphia Inquirer
David Hiltbrand
Thanks to director Roger Kumble's breathless pacing, Just Friends manages to outrun most of its flaws.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
This movie had some good ideas, but never gelled.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Just Friends is just stupid.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
In all, it's not too bad and it's not too long, and any movie that sets Santa on fire is okay by me.
Newsday
John Anderson
Just Friends is funnier the sillier it gets, perhaps hitting a crescendo during the slap fights between the brothers, who begin beating each other with regularity, as if they'd never stopped.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Just Friends shows that a lifeless idea can rise up out of its script crypt and put a stranglehold on 2,000-plus screens.
Miami Herald
Peter Debruge
This is superficial entertainment to say the least. But if you're looking for laughs, then Just Friends is just fine.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Every holiday season welcomes a big-screen turkey, and this one's got extra stuffing.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
There have been worse premises for a romantic comedy, but director Roger Kumble and writer Adam "Tex" Davis could scarcely have done a worse job developing it.
