Just Friends poster

Why people love it

People revisit Just Friends for the same reason it broke through in 2005: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a romance rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Roger Kumble keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The comedy and romance blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
