A romantic comedy starring Amy Smart and Ryan Reynolds, Just Friends is a funny story about a friendship attempting to be taken to the next step. The movie uses a real life situation that tends to plague many people, the challenge of just being friends. While there are criticisms of the movies character development, the movie does deliver in its ability to consistently provide a good chuckle.

Amy Smart and Ryan Reynolds carry the average script fairly well. Although the movie isn't written overly well, the actors do a good job of using their own talents to deliver lines that can consistently bring out a laugh out of viewers. The plot is fairly unoriginal and uninspired but it is still interesting enough for many viewers. However, the character development is very poor. The characters seem to switch personalities mid-scene and fail to develop properly. There is no consistently in personality.

However, the storyline itself can't be attacked too much. Truly, it is not meant to be in such a movie. The movie is an average romantic comedy, it doesn't attempt to bring anything new or original to the scene. Rather, it takes a situation that many people have found themselves in and can relate to and uses them to create funny scenes that are played out well by the solid acting of the two stars. The movie can be uninspired but it still is successful and getting a rise out of viewers.

Overall, Just Friends is a decent romantic comedy that is bound to find a match in somebody's DVD collection. It won't win any awards, but the movie creates scenes that everyone can relate to and capitalizes on them by making them funny without trying too hard. The actors show good talent and have good chemistry on screen. The DVD offers a few deleted scenes and bonus features but is not packed with anything else notable to speak of. Just Friends is an average offering that is successful and doing what it intended to do.
