6 Movies That Proved The Cast of Friends Should Stick to TV

"Friends" was a cloying, trite, saccharine, badly written and utterly ridiculous sitcom about a group of privileged good looking Caucasians whining because their lives weren't 100 percent great, just 90 percent great. The two gorgeous women on the show had an amazing apartment thanks to their grandmother, one of the characters only got by on tips from massages and playing the guitar and still managed to obtain great clothes and a stable living condition, the only really Ethnic character was an Italian man who could have been a model but was a starving actor who always inexplicably kept his apartment going, the major comic relief was a character who spouted horrible one-liners and one of the major story lines of the show involved a pet monkey. Hell, in the finale of the series, we find out that Monica and Chandler who couldn't have a biological baby opting for adoption instead, ended up having twins! A boy and a girl! Oh, if life were that kind. But, like it or not, "Friends" was a huge hit and one of the biggest sitcoms of the nineties. Since its premiere and delivery in to the annals of TV history, the cast of "Friends" have found themselves struggling to basically form a hit movie out of their stint on the NBC TV show. Granted, some have been successful thanks to wise choices a la Lisa Kudrow, and Matt LeBlanc is only now relevant because he's playing himself on a TV show (seems to be a last ditch effort for many nineties stars these days), but along the way from pilot to hit TV show, the cast of "Friends" starred in some truly awful films.
