Despite being a tad schmaltzy, the long-delayed reunion is unapologetically nostalgic, and manages to recreate the magic of the sitcom all over again.

Friends: The Reunion is nostalgia at its most harmless and sincere form, where we don't have to pretend we’re having fun because it happens naturally.

This reunion show left me with a feeling of utter contentment that I got to be a part of this cultural moment when I was younger. The format of the show does suffer some bumpy moments as it loses focus of the core cast...

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 23, 2023

If you were a big fan of the original series... these two hours won’t seem long enough.

A scripted version of what happened to the actors behind these archetypal characters would have made for more compelling 온라인카지노추천.

If anyone from the show is reading this, the reunion was nice, but no one needs a reboot, remake, revamp, re-imagining or regurgitative next-generation Friends project, at least not for a while.

The result: A moving special program that celebrates the actors and characters who built a worldwide phenomenon. [Full review in Spanish]

Friends, like all sitcoms, was always shot indoors by pure artifice, disconnected by complex from the real world. And this reunion neither could nor wanted to get out of its bubble. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 22, 2021

Whatever you were expecting, the reunion show, long asked-for and finally arriving 17 years (yikes!) after Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Phoebe and Joey walked out the door for the very last time, certainly lived up to it, and maybe even exceeded it.

Nothing interested me here, I seem to be looking for my kind of film in the right pew but wrong church.

| Original Score: C | Jun 5, 2021

Oh. My. God. Could this have BEEN any more schmaltzy?

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 5, 2021

I have to admit that I, personally, was utterly sold from the first moment that Ross Geller walked on to the remade set. Waves of fondness. Constant smile. Not sure what's happened to me. No one told me life was going to be this way.

Collectively, they look great for people you haven't seen in 17 years, but time marches on, even for the Jennifer Anistons of the world. Yet the appeal of Friends still rings clear after all these years, to multiple generations.

The stark contrast between their sheer physical beauty and crack timing in their heyday, and their slowed-down, vastly more hesitant selves in the present is, at last, something directly relatable.

Aside from a few underwhelming moments, this is the reunion we have been waiting for.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jun 3, 2021

I was DEFINITELY a sceptic, unsure why we needed this re-union...is the conversation around Friends dated?...but this goes into each and every reason why the show was successful, and you can't help but relate hard.

This special is an exciting idea: Viewers were as invested in the lives of Friends' six actors as they were in the show, but it's often awkward to watch these stars get reacquainted in public.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 2, 2021

Emitted the vibe of people who feel like everyone should be grateful they at last came down from their cloud to grace us with superficial nostalgia.

| Jun 2, 2021

This nostalgia- fest, with a pretty standard group interview conducted with kid gloves by James Corden, doesn't probe very deeply... Still, it's warm and perfectly pitched to the sitcom's legion of fans.

| Jun 2, 2021

For the most part Friends: The Reunion will serve only to make Friends fans sad. The cast itself seems far less interested in the show than its eager viewers.
