Just Friends opens to a scene, circa 1995, of a rather overweight Chris Brander (Ryan Reynolds – National Lampoon’s Van Wilder, Waiting) offering an enjoyable “rendition” of All-4-One’s “I Swear” while writing in the high school yearbook of his B.F.F., Jamie Palamino (Amy Smart – The Butterfly Effect). After his feelings are revealed to his friend, and it turning out the complete opposite of what he had hoped, Chris runs away from small town New Jersey, vowing to “be somebody.” Ten years later, and Chris Brander is a big time music executive residing in Hollywood, where he sets off to sign the popular, yet insane, Samantha James (Ana Farris – Scary Movie) to a record deal. Following a series of mishaps, Chris unexpectedly finds himself back in Jersey for the Christmas holiday, where he is greeted at home by his kooky mother (Julie Hagerty – She’s The Man) and hormone-obsessed younger brother (Chris Marquette – The Girl Next Door). His first night back, he heads to a local restaurant where he finds Jamie and shortly after, his feelings for her once again find him. Unfortunately for Chris, despite being away for ten years, his struggles with getting out of “the friend zone” are far from over.

While Just Friends may be a bit formulaic at times (and face it, most romantic comedies are), it has the makings of a film for all-ages. With an ensemble cast that is both established (Reynolds) and up-and-coming (Smart, Farris, and Chris Klein – American Pie), along with the countless one-liners by all characters, the genius comedic timing that Reynolds has been known for, and an incredibly memorable performance by Farris, this is easily one of the better comedies in recent years.

 

Special Features: Behind-The-Scenes featurettes are by far some of the more interesting special features as they tend to allow viewers to get a sort of first-hand look at the movie-making business. “Just Friends” has a more in-depth behind-the-scenes featurette exploring the writing process, the directing process, the make-up process that Ryan Reynolds had to go through to become Chris Brander, circa 1995, as well as two of the DVD’s deleted scenes, among many others.

Along with the excellent behind-the-scenes section of the special features section, Just Friends also has 9 deleted scenes that for the most part follow continuity with the rest of the film, giving fans of the film further back story and greater insight of the film’s characters. Among other special features that are worthy of mention are a blooper reel, a feature-length crew commentary, and the “Jamie Smiles” music video (performed by Chris Klein).
