Friends 25th: The One With The Anniversary (2019) User Reviews

There's no 'anniversary', just four episodes.

[cookie_bomber · 2/10 · 29 September 2019]

Someone at WB needs to get fired. All this was was four episodes with zero else. The 25th anniversary and that was it? No interviews? No bloopers? No flavor to the episodes.

Wasted opportunity. Stay home and watch it on Netflix.

Disappointing

[renein · 2/10 · 21 October 2019]

They clearly stated bloopers, never seen content and interviews. It was just 5 random episodes that you could've easily watched on Netflix. The only reason I give it an extra star is because it was nice to see friends on the big screen.

Anti-Netflix

[jimamilstead · 4/10 · 8 December 2019]

Yes, this is just four episodes stitched together, which could have been watched at home on home media, but this was a chance to watch Friends on the big screen and keep cinemas alive. Personally, I think all the people saying "We could have stayed at home and watched this on Netflix" are absolute morons who will cause the death of cinema. I don't use Netflix and never will.

The one where everyone got scammed for 15 dollars

[anthony-hunter-38995 · 20 October 2019]

Don't go, it's nothing but a scam. You just get 3 hours of old episodes and some weird beginning. If they would have announced it as just showing some old episodes in a theater it would be fun, but they fool you with expectations.

What a Waste of Time

[wookietower · 1/10 · 29 September 2019]

I knew it would be episodes of Friends and not an actual movie, but the details promised "never before seen content." Yea, they played a commercial for the new Friends app at the end. Waste of money when I could've just watched them at home.

Stay home and watch on Netflix!

[shawnac-56341 · 1/10 · 29 September 2019]

After spending $27 for two tickets and $30 for snacks, I watched 4 episodes that I've seen multiple times. There were no "exclusive interviews and clips all in Ultra 4K". After the 4 episodes, the lights came in and that was it, totally not worth!

BAD EDITING and just 4 random episodes

[maaike-56479 · 1/10 · 21 October 2019]

So we paid 23 euros and 15 euros for snacks. The room was filled with Friends fans and it was all fun at the beginning. It started off with the intro title of EXTRA entertainment and we see a presentator tell us a bit about friends while at the iconic fountain of the intro song.

The behind the scenes footage starts from 1994 and continues for 3/4 minutes and the presentator ends it.

again the extra logo show up and the presentator is saying the same thing but this time some other behind the scenes footage from 1994. This repeats once again with again different footage but same intro and outro... very unprofessional could have been edited out.

After this the first ever episode of Friends comes on. Well that's fun right! After that another episode. And another one... and another one. Right now we are just bingewachting in the cinema while I watched Friends at home on Netflix multiple times these past years.

We have been in de cinema voor 3.5 hours... watching episodes of friends... SUCH A WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME. No exclusive footage, no exclusive interviews. No funny bloopers or anything... we felt scammed. honestly if Warner Bros is really behind this was this the saddest and biggest moneygrab television anniversary in history.

Wow

[ogxcarebear-93165 · 1/10 · 24 September 2019]

Go on Netflix and watch for free. Its literally 5 random episodes of friends. That's it. Save your money

No plot.

[russ102584 · 1/10 · 29 September 2019]

Just 4 episodes you could have randomly selected on Netflix and an ad for the app. Total waste of money. I mean, if your going to put something like this out there, at least make it worthwhile.

Just 4 episodes without extended scenes

[Linzzimm · 8/10 · 3 October 2019]

The one with chandler in a box The one with ross's wedding The one where everyone finds out The one where ross got high

Nothing but a money grab

[grayyelton · 1/10 · 24 September 2019]

Basically 4 episodes that we've already seen 100 times and could've watched for free on the DVD set we own or streamed on Netflix. No extras, no interviews, no deleted scenes, just a colossal waste of time and money.

So much negative...

[CedricWalters · 10/10 · 28 September 2019]

Seems clear to me that all these people dishing out negative comments and scores knew exactly what they were going for! If you were a fan of the show, why would you drag the ratings down? Yes we've already seen them, yes they're on streaming but seriously though it was great to have the opportunity to celebrate the 25th anniversary on the big screen

Friends on the big screen

[Fudge-3 · 6/10 · 9 December 2019]

Four Friends episodes on the big screen. Though clearly far apart chronologcally they kinda tie together but only loosely.

Watched part 1 in the UK on 8th Dec. There weren't many people in the audience but we enjoyed it. There will be a different set of episodes on the 11th and 15th but I'm engaged elsewhere.

I was worried that these made-for-TV shows would look dreadful on a forty foot screen but it was fine. Sound was good too.

Apparently in the Netherlands this was promised with new content, out-takes and interviews. Nope, lost in translation, none of that; just Friends.

Scam

[travisedwardmiller · 1/10 · 3 October 2019]

Like most others said, this was a complete scam.

Anyone giving this a positive review is clearly affiliated with the swindling company that released this joke of a "film."

They couldn't even be bothered to format the shows for theater. The heads were cut off the top of the screen.

Absolutely disgusting

[ruben_verschuren_11 · 1/10 · 20 October 2019]

They advertise with "never seen footage" and "exclusive interviews", but it's literally 5 random episodes that I can just go and watch on Netflix. Really disappointed... this is really milking it.

Waste of money!

[lorisewell · 1/10 · 24 September 2019]

I love Friends but this was such a waste of money! Literally just episodes of the show!

What a Waste!

[allisonsowa · 1/10 · 24 September 2019]

This was such a waste of time and money! First of all the tickets were over $15! They also only showed about 5 episodes and then it just ended abruptly. There was nothing special about this event, as I could have just binge watched it on my couch like I normally do. My friends and I were so disappointed that there was no special features, interviews, behind the scenes, bloopers, compilations, or anything! Just 5 episodes and then it was done. Not to mention, one of the episodes was Ben's birth and that's like one of the least important! (No offense Ben). They couldn't even play the finale or any of the Friends getting with their soul mate besides the Ross and Rachel love story. Although they only had their first kiss and not even We Were on a Break or Emma or anything!!! This was the dumbest thing I've spent money on.

Don't waste your time or money!

[shelltay · 1/10 · 26 September 2019]

The only "exclusive interview" type portion of the show was before the show even started. Our movie started at 7 and the Extra interview started at 6:50 so if you are not one to get there a little early, you missed out on that disappointment. The intro to each episode was a bit more than the intro we've seen on TV though. Everything else could have been watched on Netflix. After the 4th episode, the lights came on and that was it, no credit or anything. Save the $16 and any money you would spend on popcorn and drinks!

Scam

[monicaschaefer · 1/10 · 1 October 2019]

Special content was misrepresented. Literally just a money grab to take advantage of loyal fans.

Um...

[jenmont-43779 · 10/10 · 28 September 2019]

Wow is all i can say to all the negative reviews. Yes, you could have sat at home and watched, but you went because you were fans of the show. I knew that it would be random episodes and didn't hear anything about interviews. I went because i am a fan of the show. I didnt care what episodes they were showing. I was there because every episode i watch i still laugh. I am happy it came to the theatres. Boo to the nay sayers.

Waste of time

[spanky-22053 · 1/10 · 3 October 2019]

Don't waste your money cost us $46 for 4 . Thought it was going to have some extras, but only 4 episodes you can get on Netflix.

Best show that was created....

[atikhonchuk · 10/10 · 29 September 2019]

It still the best show that was ever created. Idk I just expected to have some behind the seen, interviews or something that wasn't seen before like they mentioned it. But oh well still love the show

A scam

[mail-86018 · 1/10 · 20 October 2019]

Netflix is a better option. Nothing new. Just random episodes.

Rated 1 just because can't go lower.

[mmrharsha · 1/10 · 27 October 2019]

It's a scam to earn money as if the reruns already don't make enough every year. Whoever thought this was a good idea actually needs to be fired.

A literal scam

[gabrielvgthompson · 1/10 · 24 September 2019]

I just sat through 4 episodes of Friends I could have watched on my TV for free. No bloopers, no exclusive interviews, no "never-before-seen" footage, literally 4 episodes of Friends, and to top it they advertise their app at the end....
