Do You Think a "Friends" Movie Is a Good Idea?

After the success of the Sex and the City movie, we weren't that surprised to hear the rumor resurface that Friends could be the next TV show to hit the big screen. There's been talk of the project for years, but Jennifer Aniston supposedly hadn't expressed enough interest in doing the film until now. Friends is still one of our favorite shows ever, but do you think it's a good idea to make it a movie?

    Not a good idea.... What could they possibly base the movie on? Mid-life crisis?

    No, I think they had their time - its done.

    Just like I think Seinfeld is done.

    Both shows need a "Do Not Resuscitate" order.

    LOL

    It would have to only be LOOSELY based on the last season.

    Monica/Chandler have twins but divorced
    Rachel/Ross going strong
    Phoebe/Mike living on the street or something
    Joey-Still Joey

    I'd go see it...I still watch Friends reruns ALL the time

    I'm always apprehensive about making a movie out of a popular tv show so of course I'm going to be skeptical at first. However, I really liked the Sex and the City movie, so we'll see what happens.

    Is Jen A desperate much? Nobody cares for her in movies, so now she's interested in doing this, because Rachel is all she can do?

    Friends had their time but that was then, and now the world has moved on. This is one movie I can happily live without.

    I think if this was made into a movie, it would be bigger than SATC. Muuuch bigger.

    I could see Courtney Cox more desperate since her Dirt hasn't been doing well.

    Okay if Jen A. does this, she will get SO much flack for being desperate. Not saying she would be, just saying that certain fans of a superstar couple (no I will not name names, you'll just have to wonder) will be ALL over it.

    This is still one of my favorite shows EVERRRRR...but I'm not too sure it would be amazing. It might not transfer well onto the big screen, but you can bet your ass I'll still be there Smiling!

    i wasn't a huge fan of the show- but i could see that if the story was good enough then the real die hard fans would be into it.

    a movie shud totally be made if sex and the city can pull it off of course friends can

    it was probably the biggest show to be on t.v for 10 years and i think it could be a huge successs for all

    i hope they do decide to make one

    the only reason SATC worked was because it was not on primetime television first but on HBO. there were more sexual liberties taken with that show. that translated well with the big screen not to mention the fashion side of that show.

    two hours of friends on the big screen would be a snoozer indeed. i agree a prime time special would be a much better approach.

    I'll pass on the movie version, even though I have probably seen every episode on tv ten times over. I'd rather remember the show as being great in it's day. For me, it all boils down to moving on.

    YES!!! Friends is still my favorite show and I would love to the cast reunited again, no matter what the circumstances might be. I doubt that this will happen though because a lot of the cast doesn't seem interested in returning to their roles.

    I miss the show.I really loved it.
    But these expect only Courtney Cox-Arquette is famous for her work in "DIRT".
    Which one of us know what happen to chandler,Joey,Ross ?..duh NO.
    As for Jennifer Aniston shes mainly famous for her lovely life (Brad,Vince,John..)
    Its too obvious they want to do it for the money and to try to regain some fame.
    Sad.

    No...I don't want to see one but I am sure it would make money. I think it would really pigeon hold them in those characters. They kinda already are but a movie would seal the deal.

    No. I would not see it. I am also assuming it would tank and not do very well.

    I think that ship has sailed.

    Maybe they should wait for the nostalgia opportunity in 30-40 years like Get Smart.

    If they did it like the seasons, 1 to 4 kind of humour then i think it would be fantastic, i think they were the best written seasons...

    the plot would tell us all what happend with monica and candlers babies and rachel in paris and like.. so many things. i would so see it. people were sketchy about the s&tc movie, and it got bad reviews, aand still did very well. this would probably be on that same track
