Just Friends

What I like about this holiday comedy is that it's a light film. It's not trying to be the next best thing. It's trying to be a comedy where, if you have a bad day, you can put this in for 90 minutes and make yourself feel better. And I like to watch these movies a lot. Don't get me wrong, I'm one for a serious drama. But, every now and then, I want a no-brainer movie. A movie where I'm going to have fun, and that's it. Another reason I like this movie is because I can relate to Chris (played by Ryan Reynolds). I'm always stuck in the friends zone. Girls see me as a sweet, charming, loving guy. And they also see me as "just a friend". I hate being that guy! They go out with jerks, then complain about not meeting a nice guy, yet I'm right there for them. I understand not wanting to lose a friend. But, what makes them think the relationship won't work out? Well, I don't want to get off onto a huge rant (a mini-rant will do just fine). So, I'll get back to the subject at hand. Just Friends is a light, fun film that you'll laugh at and just might relate to.
