Just Friends is a movie about an overweight high school student (Ryan Reynolds) who is in love with his best friend (Amy Smart), but she doesn't feel the same way.

When a tour with a very popular singer (Anna Faris) brings him home for christmas, he has one chance to prove his love to "the girl he never forgot." There is some controversy over the film due to the perceived shallow message of the film.
