Ryan Reynolds & Amy Smart Reunite For Self-Funded ‘Just Friends’ Sequel

Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart, stars of the 2005 rom-com “Just Friends,” recently reunited in a humorous Thanksgiving sketch titled “Just Friendsgiving.” The sketch, reminiscent of their roles in the original film, hints at the possibility of a sequel to the beloved movie.

In “Just Friends,” Reynolds and Smart portrayed teenage best friends Chris Brander and Jamie Palamino, whose relationship takes a romantic turn when Chris returns to his hometown to win Jamie’s heart. The sketch, set in the universe of the original film, suggests that the characters are still together, with Smart’s character joking about the shortage of Aviation Gin, co-founded by Reynolds.

While the sketch appears to be a clever ad for Aviation American Gin, it has sparked speculation about a potential sequel to “Just Friends.” With rumors circulating about a sequel in development, Reynolds and Smart’s reunion may serve as the beginning of a campaign to green-light the project.

As fans eagerly await confirmation of a sequel, Warner Bros. Pictures, the parent company of New Line Cinema, distributor of “Just Friends,” is set to attend the upcoming Comic-Con Experience in Brazil. With surprises expected at the event, there’s a possibility that a Reynolds-led sequel to “Just Friends” could be among the announcements.
