Just Friends (2005)

Directed by: Roger Kumble
Tagline: Moments like this have been ruining friendships for centuries
Grade: A
I watched this movie for the first time last night. I really liked it. It's funny, it's cute, and it makes you feel good (well, most of it anyway.) And Ryan Reynolds is one of the funniest and cutest fat people I have ever seen. He actually could pass as a fat person. Even the way he talks and how he moves his eyes cracks me up. The movie is about Chris, who was fat in high school and was in love with his best friend, the beautiful and popular Jamie. At a graduation party, his love for her is ousted when one of the jocks reads what he wrote in her yearbook aloud. He leaves and doesn't talk to them again for a long time. We then see him years in the future and he's thin and good looking, able to get any girl he wants. He gets stuck in his old hometown and goes back to see Jamie, with his current "girlfriend" Samantha James (Anna Faris) tagging along. While the movie has an unnecessary amount of dirty stuff (and really, really gross licking...ew) it's really good. And, of course, Ryan Reynolds makes it 100% better.
