We Hate Movies

“I had people in my life telling me this was a funny movie…” - Steve On this week’s show, we’re getting into our month of holiday programming with a chat about the totally dated Christmas comedy, Just Friends! How annoying is it that this movie barely cares about being set at Christmas? Why couldn’t we get just a little more for the incredible Julie Hagerty to do in the movie? How abhorrent is the entire idea of the “Friend Zone” in the first place? Is this one of the biggest public humiliations at a movie’s house party? And why is Ryan Reynolds doing a Cartman voice when he’s in that abysmal fat suit the production borrowed from the Friends archive? PLUS: A Jared from Subway reference in this film that Chris accurately describes as “completely destabilizing”! Just Friends stars Ryan Reynolds, Amy Smart, Anna Paris, Chris Klein, Christopher Rodriguez Marquette, Fred Ewanuick, Amy Matysio, and Julie Hagerty as Carol Brander; directed by Roger Kumble. This week’s episode is brought to you in part by Sonos.
