CRITIC	RATING	QUOTE
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert	3
Chicago Tribune Allison Benedikt	5	The words "fat suit," "high school" and "from the director of 'Cruel Intentions'" do not bode well for a movie starring that dude from "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place," but "Just Friends" isn't that bad.
E!	7
filmcritic.com Pete Croatto	5	...the script doesn't just let them [the cast] down, it leaves them for dead.
New York Post Kyle Smith	4	...shows that a lifeless idea can rise up out of its script crypt and put a stranglehold on 2,000-plus screens.
TV Guide	4
Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum	8	...a cheerily clean and notably bright teen comedy...
New York Times Stephen Holden	3	...a crude, clobbering comedy.
People Leah Rozen	5	...if you're not feeling too picky, this one will keep you chuckling.
LA Weekly Scott Foundas	6	...never quite matches the hilarity of its own opening flashback scene...
Village Voice Mikael Wood	7	A refreshingly mean-spirited breeze through both the holiday movie and romantic-comedy checklists...
Onion AV Club Nathan Rabin	4
Maxim Pete Hammond	2	Every holiday season, the studios leave a big lump of shit in moviegoer stockings. Last season, we had Surviving Christmas. This season, it's Just Friends.
Christian Science Monitor Matt Bradley	10	...reeks of low-expectations but delivers big returns.
