10 Big Screen Best Friends Who Turned Into More

BuzzSugar — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 15:00:54 PDT

In this Friday's Friends with Benefits, two pals decide to use each other for sex, until deeper feelings get in the way. Not that they should be surprised; if they had watched any of these films, then they certainly would've known the outcome to their little experiment. May we present exhibit A: onscreen buddies who went from platonic to romantic. Take a look!

Steve Martin and Diane Keaton May Reunite for Comedy

BuzzSugar — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:29:47 PDT

There are some cinematic couplings that are so full of cuteness that I get giddy at the thought of them reuniting. Steve Martin and Diane Keaton are one such couple, having totally endeared themselves to me in Father of the Bride (I just pretend that little sequel doesn't exist).

Now, these two may couple up again for One Big Happy, a comedy by Party of Five creators Chris Keyser and Amy Lippman. Variety reports that while there aren't many details just yet, they do know that it is a "family comedy about a couple and a family reconnecting amid various obstacles."

I'm so excited by this news, and I hope costarring with Steve will get Diane back on track and help us forget some of her recent projects (ahem, Mad Money).

Based on box office returns, it looks like a lot of people love to see hard-bodied costars Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson onscreen together. And, of course, there's the big upcoming reunion of Kate and Leo in this year's Revolutionary Road. I think reuniting When Harry Met Sally's stars Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan in a movie might be fun, too. What other movie duos would you love to see re-coupled?

Happy New Year, Buzz readers! May 2008 bring more movies, music and TV that enlightens and impassions us. Here's to a highly entertaining '08!

In honor of the holiday, I've found a clip of the final New Year's Eve scene in When Harry Met Sally. You probably know this scene, the one that features Harry's speech that ends with: "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." Sigh! To watch, just

When Harry Met Sally: The Untold Story

GiggleSugar — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 13:00:00 PST

Although re-cut to look like a romantic comedy, the movie was originally written to be a psychological thriller depicting the transforming power of love- that is, Harry became stalker-style scary and that tableside orgasm she famously faked was a big SOS...but, in the end, all the world did was LOL.

Movie Night: New Year's Eve Movies

BuzzSugar — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 13:03:19 PST

So many movies, so little time. Thankfully, BuzzSugar is here to help you sort through them all! Each week, we'll choose a theme for a Movie Night and feature three must-see movies in keeping with that theme. This week's theme: New Year's Eve films, and it so happens that each of these movies is a also a romantic comedy. So whether you're happily in love or going solo, these films will help you ring in the new year with a heartwarming laugh either way.

When Harry Met Sally
Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan star as Harry and Sally, two "just friends" who ride the waves of their respective relationships together, developing a strong friendship over the years. The problem arises, however: "Can a man and a woman remain friends without sex getting in the way?" The culminating New Year's Eve scene makes my stomach go all woogly every time.

Two more, so

read more Bridget Jones' Diary The New Year is Bridget Jones' (Renee Zellweger's) opportunity to better herself and her life. The self-improvement includes documenting her weight, alcohol consumption and romantic misadventures in her diary, telling the whole truth at all times. She struggles with feeling pudgy, family issues, meeting Mr. Wrong (Hugh Grant), and then Mr. Right (Colin Firth), and having the two fight over her - all in one well-journaled year.
Holiday (Not to be confused with The Holiday which is a totally different movie about different things.) In this 1938 classic, Cary Grant plays Johnny Case, a free-thinking guy engaged to the wealthy Julia Seton (Doris Nolan). Julia's family starts trying to mold Johnny into their version of the perfect son-in-law, but he wishes instead to be always on "holiday." He spends time with Julia's strong-willed sister Linda (Katharine Hepburn), and tries to figure out what kind of life - and woman - he wants. On New Year's Eve Johnny realizes what's truly in his heart.

Watch the Trailer For When Harry Met Sally 2 (With a Twilight Twist!)

Becky Kirsch — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 10:20:28 PDT

We've seen classic romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally remixed as a horror film, but what about a sequel? Billy Crystal took it upon himself to reimagine a follow-up to the story, this time with Harry finding romance again in a nursing home after Sally's death. It seems like love at first sight for Harry and Sharon (Helen Mirren) . . . until Harry realizes that Sharon has a dark secret, and he's bit off more than he can chew (pun intended).

Mila Likes the Way Justin Sings "Happy Birthday" and He Talks More About MySpace

Katie Henry — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 01:59:49 PDT

Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake are entering the final stretch of their promotional tour for Friends With Benefits. The pair were joined by director Will Gluck, Jenna Elfman, and Emma Stone at Monday night's Friends With Benefits premiere in NYC, but last week they were in LA to chat about disrobing in front of the cameras and favorite films at the junket. Justin also briefly shared what he has planned for the future of MySpace. Here's more:

Mila, are you a fan of Justin's music?
MK: "[I like] the way he sings "Happy Birthday."
JT: "Pretty sure you're a big fan of my original compositions."

Mila, are your parents comfortable with the sex scenes?
MK: [laughing] "They're okay with it. They've seen it, I'm still here [alive.] No, my dad saw it. You know, he liked it. He thought it was very funny. He actually thought it was sincerely very funny and that he liked the movie. Yeah no, he liked it."

Mila, do you have any interest in joining Twitter?:
MK: "I do not tweet, nor do I Facebook."
JT: "Just say no. You don't have to explain."

Justin, do you gravitate towards self deprecating humor?:
JT: "[serious]Yes, I think my life is hilarious. I should not be here, and I am. I think my life is funny."

Have either of you ever borrowed a romantic gesture from a film?:
JT: "I thought once about playing Peter Gabriel from a boom box."
MK: "That would be awesome."
JT: "Yeah?"
MK: "Yeah, you should do it."

Did you workout more knowing you'd be naked?:
MK: "I did not."
JT: "She weighed 87 lbs. from Black Swan so she was just eating cheeseburgers."
MK: "Yeah, now I'm at the gym all the time don't get me wrong."
JT: "I train mostly all the time, I think what I do is stop drinking beer and [start] eating more vegetables and less pasta."

read more. Justin, what were the sex scenes like? JT: "There's not a lot of female nudity in this movie so my physical job in those scenes was to [cover Mila] make sure. . . whatever. I found out really quick what was in Mila's contract because I was covering it up. But I think we wanted those to be funny and we shared the camaraderie in that so it kind of took the weird air out of all that and we just sort of went for it." Justin, what was it like working with Woody Harrelson? JT: "Woody is amazing, Woody's just a fantastic actor and a great comedian, but I'm actually glad you brought that up because that's a really important part of the movie for me. Will and I had a lot of discussion about it. Woody's character in a lot of ways is an original on film to be able to portray a gay male in the way that he is. Coming from my experience, I have a lot of guy friends, straight and gay, and we're all just friends regardless of sexual preference. So I wanted that to be in the movie, and so we took some chances with it." What romantic comedies did you watch to prepare for the role? MK: Pretty Woman, When Harry Met Sally. JT: Yeah, when When Harry Met Sally is probably a good one. You know Will kept referencing Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn. . . I think it was only in reference in how he wanted the banter to feel. That these two were equal counterparts and that they couldn't see it and that's what makes you fall in love with their story as the movie progresses so you'll be like, 'You guys are perfect for each other, these two characters are perfect for each other' and they're fighting it and they're doing it through humor. . . We just wanted to make a comedy about our generation, we wanted to just say what was funny about our generation and I feel like we were able to do that." What was important to interject into your characters?: MK: "I think just being honest to the generation itself and not losing sight of that and not trying to please people or appease people, but just being truthful to what both Justin and myself and Will believed." JT: "My favorite movie of all time, there's a quote from it, 'Yup, life moves pretty fast if you don't stop and take a look around once in a while you could miss it.' and I think that's part of our generation . . . I think that's why I feel like this is more a generational comedy. We weren't trying to make a romantic comedy. If anything, romantic comedies are by virtue not rated R so we wanted to make a real, situational comedy that two people happen to fall in love and then see if they can work it out." Justin, can you tell us more about MySpace?: JT:"I can't tell you because that would ruin when I get to tell you about it. But suffice it to say it's going to be what it should have been."

5 Reasons to Have a Guy Best Friend and 2 Reasons Not To

Tara Sharp — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 11:30:21 PDT

The hashtag #reason2haveguybestfriend is currently trending on Twitter. And it got us thinking, what are the perks of your bestie being a guy vs. a girl? Here's what we came up with.

Reasons to have a guy best friend:

There won't be that underlying competitive streak in the relationship that's sometimes unavoidable with a girlfriend.
Guys understand their fellow gender better than we do, so they have a more accurate jerk-dar when it comes to potential love interests.
From "Does this haircut look good on me?" to "Am I being too needy?" a guy friend won't sugarcoat the truth, which we need sometimes.
Arguments and fights are inevitable in any relationship, but guys tend to put it all out there instead of holding it in and being passive-aggressive.
As antifeminist as it might sound, sometimes it's nice to have a guy friend when your car dies, you need to put together an Ikea bookcase, or there's some sort of bug infestation in your apartment.

Why it's not such a great idea:

A guy friend can never fully "get" what it's like to be a woman, so there will always be those moments when we need a fellow lady friend who doesn't run away when we are being an emotional, irrational basket case.
That inevitable When Harry Met Sally rule: someone in the friendship always falls for the other. We've seen it time and time again; things get complicated the minute one person starts to want more out of the relationship than being "just friends."

Do you think it's better to have your best friend be a guy? Why?
