A good movie

Like pretty much everyone else from my generation, I did watch ‘Friends’ in the 90’s. Obviously, at some point, I dropped the whole thing but I certainly followed it for a couple of years. My favorite character was easily Chandler Bing and I always thought it was too bad Matthew Perry never managed to build up a decent career on the silver screen (eventually, from the ‘Friends’ cast, Jennifer Anniston is the only who really managed the transition). There is however one movie starring this actor which turned out well and it was this comedy. Obviously, he was basically playing Chandler all over again but it didn’t bother me. On top of that, Bruce Willis, albeit one of the biggest action movie stars, actually started his career with such light comedies and it was really nice to see him in this genre again. To round up the cast, you had such charming actresses like Natasha Henstridge and Amanda Peet and they all delivered some solid performances. All in all, it is a rather silly story but, somehow, I thought it did work actually pretty well, I was quite funny and it was fairly entertaining. Unfortunately, since this movie was quite successful, they made a sequel which was truly abysmal. Anyway, to conclude, I thought it was a pretty good comedy and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
