    Just watched it,surprisenly it was very enjoyable.
    They mostly look great,Matt Le Blanc is huge now but I don't think he's too bothered.Matthew Perry seemed out of sorts,not sure I believe that it's as a result of him being to the dentist the same day.

    How white were those teeth? It reminded me of a certain episode...

    I was genuinely shocked to hear that the Ross & Rachel thing was almost/kinda/sorta a real thing behind the scenes.

    Matthew Perry didn’t look well at all, new teeth probably didn’t help.
    Wrapped up in a jacket wasn’t a good look too. His “it’s so good to see you Matty” was lovely and heartfelt.

    .

    Aw this got to me, was a very sweet genuine moment. He seems like a sensitive soul.
    Chandler was always my favourite in the show.

Money would not have come in to it .imagine if you heard that a class from your school would never meet the others unless they got 10thousand ..all they are .is money grabbing and headline grabbing people. Why didn't they take the money and donate it to charity.!!!.folks they wer only putting on a show for ye ..wake up ..

    Weren’t there rumours too that Matthew Perry was in love with Courtney Cox throughout filming?

    It's not a tv show though, but an obscene and literal puff piece prodded up by celebrities.

    It's definitely one of the most hollow and cynical cash grabs I've seen in a long time.

    No idea why people would want to watch it. The trailer was enough for me to know what's up.

    Good for you. I don’t know what brings you here so since you have it all figured out, unless it’s just to shlt on everyone else who enjoyed it?

    It was alright. I was originally expecting a one off show with the characters. Very disappointed to hear it was more of a documentary type thing. It turned out better than I feared but it really felt like a glorified DVD extra rather than a proper addition to the show.

    I only heard about this a few days ago and it was fairly east to workout that it wasn’t a new episode.

    Loved that. Can't believe it was 2 hours long, felt like a half hour.

    Sad to see Matthew Perry in that state, had no idea he had drug issues. Incredible actor with amazing comedic timing. Hope things get better for him.

    Rachel's face looks completely different from different angles, if that makes sense. :D She's still as bubbly as ever. Phoebe has aged well. A little annoying still, she shouts too much. Monica as bland as ever, nothing character.

    Joey has become Joey if he had married Monica, his enthusiasm for the whole thing was great.

    Ross hasn't changed a bit and IMO carried the that reunion like he did with the show. He's funny when not even trying to be.

    Never really got all he hate for James Corden, he was fine. An incredible comedy actor in his own right.

    Well worth a watch. Brings you right back to a time in life when social media didn't exist and that life seemed much more simple.

    Have to say, genuinely chuckled at the mischievousness of Matt leBlanc finding out about Monica panicking about a speech and discovering she had it written on the table so just before the take, he wiped it off.

    Gives a great insight into how much fun he actually is :D

    I remember Matthew saying about being in that pilot on the interview the 3 guys did with Gaby Roslin and was the first David had heard of it. But this was the first I saw of it. How could they think it would never work. :) Kelly Hu in it as well

    Poor Matthew Perry, youngest of the cast really looking the worse for wear.

    I enjoyed it far more than I thought I would. I was expecting to turn it off after 5 minutes but realised I was actually enjoying it. Think David Schwimmer had the most work done, he was very shiny.

    I wasn't a massive fan of the final seasons. Series 1 to 4 were excellent, then the storylines became more like a soap and Chandler wasn't as funny when he got with Monica.

    Still, I liked them doing the read-through and the Ross Rachel scene really brought back that time to me. Great to see Tom Selleck too, always enjoyed the scene where Monica's parents find out about her relationship with Richard at Jack Geller's birthday party.

    Nice nostalgia trip but definitely suffered from it's own hype.

    Best bits were table reads and cast chatting.

    The live stuff with Corden, the catwalk bit etc were cringe!

    Schwimmer seemed to have the most enthusiasm of anyone.. always my favourite of the bunch!

    The one time Matthew Perry tried to speak and crack a joke Jennifer Aniston interrupted like a spoiled attention seeking kid.

    He actually pulled her up but was like a mouse after it.

    She is drama.

    Schwimmer came out of that looking a million bucks. The stuff about him and Jennifer was the big reveal I guess...

    I think they tried to help him out a lot with getting his points across because he seemed to be uncomfortable.

    I really enjoyed it!

    I'm now hoping against hope that Jennifer and David get together in real life - take that Mr. Pitt!

    I genuinely had no idea they ever had a crush on each other. I'm almost sure Jennifer was dating Tate Donovan at the time (he later played Joshua, the object of her affection around season 4 or 5).

    I was a little disappointed they didn't have more guest stars contributing. Even the ones who were there only had minimal speaking time. I think Maggie Wheeler (Janice) had the longest segment out of all of them.

    Matthew Perry was very quiet, but he always seemed the most reserved/shyest of the bunch in real life anyway. David, Lisa and Matt were definitely the most entertaining I though.

    Anyway, it was a lovely, nostalgic walk down memory lane for a while :)
