Admitted: I'm a huge Friends fan. That said, I think a Friends feature film is a horrible, horrible idea! The show evolved into charicatures by it's final seasons, and it finally ended. It's charm was the characters in their 20s, facing (mostly) light life issues. Even when it wasn't particularly light subject matter, it was treated lightly (Ross' divorce, Ross' child, Chandler & Monica not being able to have a child). I don't know how sustainable a half-hour sitcom can be for two hours on the big screen.
Its characters didn't have deep drama like Sex and the City, which had enough mystery in its finale. But in the Friends finale, Monica and Chandler move out of the iconic apartment and Ross and Rachel have a baby. Are these six supposed to still be the same in their late 30s/early 40s? Is Joey still a slut - because at 20 it's "sowing his oats," at 40 it's just pathetic. And Ross and Rachel have a child - but are they still going to be on/off like the show - which was a large part of the dynamic? Because with a kid involved, they can't bring that "charm" back. I could go on...
I don't know why I felt the need to blog this, but, uh, yeah. Agree/Disagree?
