Rip-Off of 'Friends' Episode Plot

I'm watching the movie for the first time, and it's reached the part where Polly has found out that Reuben has been using the computer program to compare Polly to Lisa so he can figure out who he should choose. This is such a blatant rip-off of an episode of, "Friends," where Ross, Chandler and Joey make a list that compared Rachel to Ross's girlfriend, Julie ... all so Ross can figure out who he should end up with. The episode is, "The One With the List." Watch it, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

So annoying.

Lol, I was thinking the exact same thing! It would be a rip off even if it happened with someone else, but the fact that it is Jennifer Aniston in both scenarios is hilarious!

...not to mention how Aniston's character Rachel dates Ben Stiller's character on Friends. Even with all the similarities I don't feel like I'm watching a 'Friends' movie.

More than that, the whole film is the audience's chance to see how Aniston would've played Phoebe Buffay.

Who -incidentally- I always thought was the true star character of friends.
