"Just Friends"

This was quite funny. Though not a lot. Because the jokes were pretty much the same throughout, and not wildly original, I did find myself checking my watch to see how much longer there was to go, before I could run out of the cinema and find something more cerebral to do.

Ryan Reynolds plays a suitably dorky and weird music producer, Chris Brander, who gets himself into plenty of painfully-embarassing moments (which, ultimately are highly predictable). Amy Smart, however, doesn't really do a whole lot, and comes across as a bit surplus-to-requirements, beyond the hook of her being the love interest.

Firmly in the same camp as American Pie and Road Trip, only not as good. In other words, we've seen it all before.

An enjoyable few minutes, but ultimately forgettable and unsatisfying.
