neutral · AI labelView post →Haven’t seen How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days in probably 20 years and I can’t believe I didn’t realize Anna Faris totally channels Kate in some of her work, especially Just Friends (also this movie holds up)
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched a film from the Netherlands called ‘Just Friends’ . I had forgotten what it felt like to watch a piece of gay cinema where the trials of being gay were not the centerpiece, rather family, heritage, with good old fashioned romance and growth and amazing chemistry between the leads ❤️❤️🏳️🌈

positive · AI labelView post →Anna Faris in Just Friends. Wild character! Stole the show. One of my favorite movies ever & a favorite Christmas movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Seeing people log Just Friends for the first time and giving it an awful score is so funny because they are objectively correct, it’s a terrible movie, but nostalgia has me wrapped around its finger because I love that shitty movie and will watch it every year 🥰
neutral · AI labelView post →From the Ryan Reynolds movie, Just Friends, said about the dweeb-turned-evil jerk, Dusty Dinkleman, played by Chris Klein: "He's from Jersey. He skis in his jeans." And yeah - it *totally* fits.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just Friends deserves more credit as a good Christmas movie
positive · AI labelView post →Yep tonight's movie. Watching Just Friends it counts as a Christmas movie since it's ploy takes place during the holiday lol. Its funny and entertaining so why not #filmsky #justfriends #christmas
positive · AI labelView post →the restaurant i’m in has been a place for many different restaurants over the years, but the fun fact about this one is it was used for filming in the movie ‘Just Friends’ with ryan reynolds, anna faris, amy smart and chris klein.
neutral · AI labelView post →FUN FACT: Producers assumed that Canuck Ryan Reynolds would be able to ice skate when casting him in this week's movie, Just Friends. He did not, and while getting skating lessons in preparation for the film, he fell and dislocated his shoulder.

neutral · AI labelView post →I didn't think I had an answer for the "movie that made you angry" thing, but I just remembered I was so irrationally angry walking out of JUST FRIENDS in 2005. Like, I was absolutely fuming, and to this day I do not know why.
negative · AI labelView post →Watched “Just Friends” a Dutch movie with Josha Stradowski and Majd Mardo. Loved it. I don’t know, or care, Josha’s sexuality but he is fantastic as a straight Rand al’Thor in “The Wheel of Time” and lovely as a gay Joris in “Just Friends”.
positive · AI labelView post →The film had many titles. Just Friends, Playing Melancholy Baby, Boy Meets Girl, How They Met, Blue Moon, Words Of Love, and It Had To Be You were all reportedly considered. Reiner even ran a competition with Castle Rock employees asking for title suggestions. 16/41
neutral · AI labelView post →I maintain that Just Friends is a Christmas movie but Jamie Palomino is a terrible person
positive · AI labelView post →We're watching Just Friends. A great Christmas movie. I know people's mileage on Ryan Reynolds can vary but surely this has enough Anna Faris to counteract any of that.
positive · AI labelView post →Just Friends is the best Christmas movie
positive · AI labelView post →Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie. It may have Christmas elements, but that alone does not a Christmas movie make. Christmas is just a minor plot point However, I do concede, that I am not consistent in my assessments. As I consider Just Friends a Christmas movie, when it really isn't any different

neutral · AI labelView post →A Film to Check Out! #7 Just Friends 🎥 Annemarie van de Mind Josha Stradowski (The Wheel of Time) plays, Joris and Majd Mardo play, Yani; they meet and try to navigate the nuances of love and family. It’s a beautiful and poignant film. #gayfilm #gaymovie #queerfilm #justfriends #gayculture

neutral · AI labelView post →The movie that made others see he CAN be very funny with good material or if he is utilized well. He was on a McConaughey streak of flops in the 00s before that, saved Buried and Just Friends. Their real hatred: Disney matched FOX bid. Unironically, the best outcome for FOX.

Very sweet, very low-stakes while keeping me invested. Good cinematography, the leads had great chemistry, good pacing...
