#BuzzScreenReview: F.R.I.E.N.D.S The Reunion

Let's take a break from all the trending all fired up kind of movies and dust out an oldie from the shelves, shall we? F.R.I.E.N.D.S ring a bell? Yes, that oldie. Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry — the six iconic stars of one of the most popular and successful award-winning sitcoms of all times, come together to reminisce and relive what they call the best 10 years of their lives.

The special has a lot of what its fans have been waiting for, but not all of it. I mean how can you simply pack ten glorious years of a show that made the world a better place not to mention the shelves it filled with awards into a roughly 2-hour show? It is impossible! What we get instead, is the carefully and meticulously recreated set, just the way they left it, 17 years ago. The world-famous orange couch in Central Perk, Monica’s homely living room, the sturdy foosball table and Chandler and Joey’s relaxing recliner Rosita.

As the cast walks in one by one on stge, they hit it off right away, taking us along, sharing moments and memories from the sets.

There are quite a few starry surprises along the way and new trivia is revealed organically, as the special goes beyond just the six ‘FRIENDS’. And whether it’s the regular fans, stars, star makers or co-stars, the one thing common between all of them is that everyone is a ‘F.R.I.E.N.D.S’ fan.

Hosted by fanboy James Cordon, this one-off special is high on emotions than comedy, with the cast running for the tissues the minute they reunite. Need we mention that if you are a die-hard fan, tissues come in handy with all the mushy We recommend a box handy, with all the emotions on and offset moments that might leave you teary-eyed. Just like the show, the best parts of the reunion are when the six of them are together.

Friends: The Reunion just like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reunion don't have the timeless quality of the shows but as a one-time gig, it packs quite a punch for its fans and leaves them wanting more. Here's the catch though; if you were an all-time fan of the show you will love love love it! If you can relate with the show thanks to factors like age and all, you would be in a better position to have a good time watching it and, if you are the type that loves a good production accompanied with a good laugh, and have not watched FRIENDS yet, this is the perfect time to start from the top! If none of the above factors applies then you will probably have a hard time taking on this watch.

The good news is, all you have to do is have a funny bone and you are good to go! Besides, in an era where most of the things we do with our free time involve staying safe indoors away from the virus, this might actually be the perfect plan to cover some of the time. Have you watched it yet? Let us know what you thought of it. If not, check out the trailer below.
