"Here's a film for all of us 'losers,' and it gets the job done."
FromTheBalcony
Bill Clark
B-
"
Just Friends
is a funny production; it's just a disappointment that Kumble couldn't let the audience discover any moment of the film on their own."

Brian Orndorf
"Anna Faris again demonstrates that she is fearless when it comes to physical stunts and comedic excesses."
Common Sense
Cynthia Fuchs
C-
"Just bad."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
2/4
"There are funny moments--a few even hilarious--but the majority of jokes try so hard and go so far over-the-top that they splat on the ground before takeoff."

Dustin Putman
B-
"Despite its flaws, the movie comes out ahead, more funny than not."

Eric D. Snider
C-
"A succession of frantic, and frequently brutal, slapstick episodes...raucous but largely mirthless."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
1/4
"After watching a movie like
Just Friends
, I hurry home from the theater and take a shower so I can wash away the stink of the experience."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"You certainly don't need to be smart to laugh at
Just Friends
, but smart people don't have to be embarrassed when they do. Unless they laugh as loudly as I did."

3BlackChicks Review
Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel
1.5/4
"Even a bracing mean streak can't save this gross-out romantic comedy from its lazy mess of a script, a string of slapstick gags that demand arbitrary, stupid and out-of-character behavior from all concerned."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
C
"
Just Friends
is sweet and mostly pleasant to pass the time with...but there's little justification to enter into a serious engagement with it."
Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema
Mark Pfeiffer
3/5
"Despite the fact that we are watching Reynolds do the same schtick yet again, director Roger Kumble never lets him outlast a joke or take a gimmick too far."
Film Threat
Michael Ferraro
D
"Much humiliation and mayhem, all of it either teeth-grindingly tedious, heart-sinkingly crude, or just plain boring, often all three at once."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
C
"Painfully light on laughs."
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
2/5
"Um bom conceito (e não estou dizendo que este é bom) só funciona quando amparado por um bom roteiro. E definitivamente não é isto que ocorre aqui."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
1.5/4
"Faris's parody of pop culture's vapid idols transcends the film's own brainless romantic plot."
Slant Magazine
Paul Schrodt
2.5/5
"Maybe in this case, Chris and Jamie just being friends wasn't such a bad idea."
Filmcritic.com
Pete Croatto
3/5
"Although it's often hilarious, it's far too hyperactive to actually connect with us."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
3.5/5
"I walked into the thing expecting a lifeless mass of mirthless torture, and I walked away pleasantly surprised by the ensemble cast's consistent chuckle delivery."
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
2/4
"Unless you're dying to see a pale imitation of the Farrelly brothers' brand of broad romantic comedy, just say no to
Just Friends.
