Methinks this is a smart move on the Friend honchos' parts -- just enough time has elapsed that peoples' recollections of just how effing annoying that show was -- despite its cultural relevance -- have faded, and now we're all left with rosy remembrances of Ross, Rachel et al. Like an ex-boyfriend whose flaws you forget when you run into him looking all handsome at Whole Foods. Not that that's happened to me. What was I talking about again? Oh right. Friends.

So what do we think? Does anyone still care? Did the suits wait too long to give it the big screen treatment? I'd wager that as long as Maniston manages to stay on the cover of US Weekly with her parade of fresh young man whores, this film might have a shot in hell. But the real question is: will nostalgia-mongers bring back the Rachel 'do in a salute to mid-Nineties kitsch? I shudder to fucking think.
