12 Movies Friends Stars Want You To Forget

12. Numb

The One Where Chandler Has a Breakdown.

Matthew Perry tackles mental health issues in this romantic drama-dy from 2007. In it, Perry plays screenwriter Hudson Milbank, a man convinced that he's losing his mind and going insane. Numb, geddit. Suffering from a complete absence of emotions, Hudson is desperate to be his most perfect self when he meets his dream girl. Can he find himself again, before she gives up on him?

This was a smart attempt from Matthew Perry to avoid typecasting as the most laid-back, easy-going of the Friends, but unfortunately didn't quite land, thanks to its awkward blend of comedy and brooding drama.

One suspects that audiences just couldn't take the one-time Chandler Bing in a more serious role, and he quickly reverted back to silly studio comedy roles... which didn't hit big either, unfortunately. Despite the best of intentions from its director and cast, Numb largely left critics and audiences feeling, well, numb.
