Just Friends (I) (2005)
3/10
Just dreadful.

Warning: Spoilers
It's one thing for a movie to be made for teenagers, it's quite another for it to be made by them; this one feels like the latter.

Potty jokes, slapstick more potty jokes, shrieks, terrible references, some more slapstick and, to top it all off, a doubtful aesop delivered with a complete lack of subtlety.

But the worst? The hypocrisy of that aesop: so, when he comes back from LA, all artificial and shallow, she doesn't like him. Turns him down until he becomes his older self, his "true" self. But she didn't want his old self! She liked him "as a friend" back then! Oh, wait, he was fat! She wants his new look, but not his new personality, the shallow hypocrite.

But since I can be pretty shallow myself and Anna Faris provides some fanservice, I'll bump my rating to a 3.
