Just Good Friends

About This Movie

So, 'Just Good Friends' is one of those quirky gems from the early 70s that really stands out, even if the director isn’t widely known. The film plays with a mixture of absurdity and warmth that creates a unique atmosphere. It’s all about John and his rather unusual claim to fame—his 12 inches, which leads to some bizarre but oddly humorous situations. The pacing is a bit erratic; it takes its time in some scenes while zipping through others, which gives it a curious rhythm. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a certain charm and the performances are surprisingly earnest considering the premise. This isn’t your typical adult film; it feels like a playful exploration of intimacy and connection.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, making original prints a bit scarce. VHS editions sometimes pop up at collector shows, but finding a well-preserved copy can be tricky. Interest in 'Just Good Friends' is niche but there's a dedicated following that appreciates its offbeat charm, which adds to its appeal for collectors seeking something out of the ordinary.
