[Lady_Targaryen · 7/10 · 9 March 2009]

Monica and Chandler are having financial problems, specially because Chandler's internship is making them lose more money then winning. Monica gives the suggestion to ask some money to her parents, but Chandler is against because ''Bings doesn't borrow money from others''.

Monica asks $2.000 to Joey, but asks him to not tell Chandler about it.Chandler also asks Joey some money, and he discovers that Joey gave Monica the same amount of money that he asked. Joey doesn't want to tell Chandler the real reason why Monica took money with him, so he tells that Monica is going to make a boob job.

Mike loves to stay in Phoebe's house and hates to come back to his apartment. Phoebe also love his presence, so Mike give the idea of they live together. Phoebe accepts it and tells the Friends about the news. When Monica makes a joke about the fact they can marry in the future, Mike tells Phoebe that he never wants to marry again. Phoebe stays disappointed and thinks if Mike will be the best choice for her.

The One with the Boob Job

[ComedyFan2010 · 7/10 · 11 September 2011]

I think Joey is the funniest character in this episode. The whole story with borrowing money was just too funny. Especially how he came up with the great idea of a boob job. This led to a very funny scene of misunderstanding where Monica says that her ass is also going be bigger and it is kind of a "package deal" because she thinks he speaks about body changes during the pregnancy

Joey was also very funny in the apartment baby proofing story. When he tries to open everything in the house, can't and realizes that he can't "do anything he likes" anymore was very funny

Phoebe just upsets me. Why, why? I don't buy the whole "it is my turn to be normal" story. Why is regular stuff the right thing to do. It isn't, it is just more accepted, but it was great when they had a character that was more of an individual than a society sheep. I guess living near the desperate for marriage person like Monica made Phoebe become a tool as well, somebody to whom a social status of marriage on paper is more important than living with a guy she presumably "loves"

An uneven episode

[studioAT · 4/10 · 10 August 2017]

This is a bit of a daft episode at times, and one that relies heavily on Matt LeBlanc's Joey for its biggest laughs.

The boob job story line wasn't great, with Matthew Perry's Chandler being a bit annoying.

The Pheobe and Mike story though was wonderfully written, and tenderly acted by Lisa Kudrow and Paul Rudd. The writers did a lovely job with this relationship, and it was nice to see Phoebe maturing.

I've always found it weird why David Schwimmer's Ross was absent for the final part of the final scene of the episode though.
