I was glad to see Phoebe and Joey, otherwise – too much plastic surgery on their faces and all unnecessary fuss in the studio, I wanted more heart-to-heart talks (and, God, not with this presenter). Translated to English
Watched
Nostalgic, but optional skit "on the waves of my memory." After the "Office", the shares of "Friends" in my personal exchange sank a lot, and besides, it’s a little bitter to see the aged (and some plasticized) heroes. The format didn’t work either. Translated to English
Watched
A damn touching show (not a movie) of a friends reunion. I did cry. And I wanted to review them all over again. For those who watched the series, even a little – watch. Those who haven’t watched won’t understand. Fans of friends – just a must. Translated to English
Watched
It was the most kind, sweet and touching of all that I have seen lately! I’m ready to watch such reunions 10 seasons Translated to English
Watched
The film would have been better made, because the ending of the original is quite open. But it’s more economical, of course, to play the cheap theatrics of actors who are supposedly satisfied because of the first meeting in ten years, and not because of fees of 3 million each (with real friendship, they would see each other more often). Translated to English
Watched
Incredibly touching lamp meeting of graduates, where for some reason Justin Bieber, BTS and David Beckham were invited. Seriously, I’d rather watch couch chatter for two hours than completely unnecessary celebrity cameos. Translated to English
Watched
I didn’t expect anything, so it was nice) I love friends, one of the main series for me. A set of actors, beloved since childhood, professionally squeezed out tears of nostalgia and tenderness from themselves and from me throughout the film. There were several facts that surprised and really touched. Translated to English
Watched
A great gift for all fans of the series, simple but rather sentimental. I somehow added the series to my favorites, but I don’t have very warm feelings for it. Probably looked too late, 10 years later than the final. And the reunion for me is what it is, what it is not. 7.5 out of 10 Translated to English
Watched
The documentary was a success. The series is truly cult and worth watching. It is very sad to see that the actors are aging, which means that we are aging. Both the actors and the series have stood the test of time and left behind only the good. Translated to English
Watched
Emotions are running high, as if I saw my old good friends 17 years later Translated to English
Watched
Tears from the screen saver. Initially, I thought that there would be some kind of very unfortunate sequel. And this is a nice evening of meeting friends who remember the best experience in their lives, 10 years long. Very little Matthew Perry Translated to English
Watched
It was hard and wonderful at the same time! It’s hard to realize and accept that your Friends have grown so old, and you along with them… so much time has passed… Gaga suddenly became interested in the image of Phoebe. Thank you friends and creators! ONE LOVE! Translated to English
It is clear that they were paid a lot, and some guest stars for no reason, it is clear that this is an attempt to cash in a little more on a popular series, but still I really love this series. Translated to English
Watched
I don’t know how to rate. Why is this show positioned as an episode of a series? Translated to English
