Reynolds' brand of sarcastic humour suits his part well, whilst Smart is as adorable here as she was in The Butterfly Effect.

Although it's often hilarious, it's far too hyperactive to actually connect with us.

Shadows on the Wall

Every single person operates with the maturity and common sense of a dog chasing its tail. Into a tree.

Funny scenes, Reynolds' comedic chops and memorable characters like Reynolds' smart-mouthed brother and tagalong socialite sex symbol (reliable ham Anna Faris) outweigh the film's predictability.

Even with young talent, director Roger Kumble and writer Adam Davis rely way too heavily (no pun intended) on the fat-suit joke and titular impasse.

... while the ending might be a foregone conclusion, getting there involves just enough slapstick manful idiocy to keep the humor moving at a clip.

Reynolds and kooky sidekick Faris carry a weak script.

Here's a film for all of us 'losers,' and it gets the job done.

During the credits, Reynolds is again shown in the fat suit while singing a power ballad, reminding us all how funny Just Friends could have been.

Just Friends is a dumb teen comedy.
