The One Where Ross Meets Elizabeth's Dad
19 August 2011 | by (Canada) – See all my reviews

A great episode! We get to meet Elizabeth's dad who is played by Bruce Willis. He is pretty good for the part and the scenes with him and Ross are just great

What is also great is the role of Rachel in this episode. She slightly messes it up already in the beginning when she comes in and says she is ready to talk Ross up in front of Elizabeth's dad when Paul is already sitting there, then she hooks up with Paul. This leads to a great scene when Ross sees them in the living room and pretends he doesn't see them, yells "Joey"runs into Joey's bedroom and doesn't want to come out. This gets even better when the four of them are having a dinner together and Rachel tries to talk Ross up and yet messes it all up by telling all about his marriages. I love this scene

The story about Joey almost losing his part is pretty good too. I like the scene when the operator of C.H.E.E.S.E. comes into his room saying that he won't get him fired if he teaches him how to deal with women. Very funny dialogue
