I really enjoyed this movie, it is definitely one of my favourites (although I wish there was more emphasis on Hudson and Sarah's relationship). So I was wondering if anyone can think of any similar movies, in that sort of I guess romantic or romantic comedy genre that obviously aren't cookie cutter, anything you can think of would give me more ideas, so just toss em' out there, thanks.
shareGarden State
- This movie is about a guy who feels pretty numb from all the meds he is on. Romantic comedy with zach braff (scrubs) and natalie portman. One of my favorite movies.
The Dog Problem
- This movie is about a writer who spends a year or two in therapy but it doesn't really end up helping him. So he gets a dog and it brings on a lot of problems. He ends up loving the dog and doing everything he can to keep him. Giovanni ribisi. Pretty great movie. Has lyn collins in it.
Stay
- This movie is a little more scifi'ish but it still deals with mental disorders. Anxiety, guilt, fear, etc. This is one of my favorite movies. My favorite actor ryan gosling is in it.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
- It has jim carrey in it. Not about mental disorders so much. But it has the hopeless sad tone to the movie. Jim's character probably suffers from antisocial disorder. And his love interest is probably manic :P

Wow Matthew really impressed me in this the man can act. I think he and David if they keep choosing good roles will be the only Friends to really make it. Jen although she gets a ton of roles really isn't that great, Lisa's good but can't seem to find a good movie, Matt Le Blanc well he was just lucky to have the role and Courtney is kinda ok, not as good as Lisa but definitly better than Jen.
shareI actually think Jen has an amazing skill in acting.
I think her strongest acting skill is in the spectrum of upset/heartbroken out of all the emotions.
David, to me, always seems to try to play more badass or strong then he really should be. I think he needs to find some roles where he can act, similarly to his role in Friends, as a kinder, softer, pushover kinda guy (No offense David, I just think you're good at that).
Lisa seems to be type-cast as a crazy girl who's really out there, I would love to see her play a more serious role or at least a comedic part but not in the "I'm so insane it's funny" kinda way.
I think Courtney is a decent actor, actually, a very good one. I'd just like to see her lighten up a bit, maybe try a comedy, or perhaps a sadder role in something. I feel like she's always the "bossy, in control, this is how it's going down" character.
Matt B, well, unfortunately he's "Joey". I haven't seen to much of his work but I think he should try a serious "I'm intelligent and deep" role in a movie.
Matt P has always seemed like the most widespread actor out of the bunch, he's simply amazing and I feel he can play pretty much most any role he wants.
To sum it up, I think most of the actors from Friends need to try to expand their roles and try new, fresh, possibly challenging parts, and try to stray away from what they are used to and probably very comfortable with. I think this could help them both "separate" from the character's they will be remembered as in friends, and broaden the spectrum of their skills. They can always play the parts they like to most later, but for now I think they should spread out. They don't want to be type-cast.
