Just Friends

It's crazy to think that as recently as 2005 it was still considered a gamble to let Ryan Reynolds and Anna Faris lead a movie, but New Line did that and struck gold! This helped launch both actors on their paths towards super stardom. Sure, the fat jokes won't land well with today's ultra sensitive audiences, but the concept of someone being stuck in the friendzone is so universal that this movie is a very funny comedic gem.

Amy Smart is also really solid in this, as she is in everything. It's a shame she didn't get the career that Reynolds and Faris have gotten. Maybe it was her knack of bouncing back and forth between comedy and grit, but in my opinion that just goes to show what an incredibly talented artist she is.

Chris Klein plays with his American Pie aw shucks expectations to create a really fun villain. And my MVP has to be Chris Marquette as the sex starved little brother from hell!
