User Reviews

Chandler doesn't cry with any movie!

Rachel still is worried how the things with Ross and Jill are going, specially because they scheduled a date in Ross' house and his apartment's curtains were closed all the time. Ross tells Rachel that Jill asked him out again, but Rachel finally admits to Ross that she doesn't want to see them going out together again. Ross calls Jill and cancels their date.

Everybody is shocked that Chandler doesn't cry in any sad movie. Chandler says that he is not the crying type, and nothing that The Friends try to do to evoke him memories works.( Joey says that he is dead inside.)

Phoebe finds odd when a strange guy asks her autograph, and the guy tells Joey that Phoebe is a porn star. Joey and Ross rent ''Phoebe's movies'' to see if it is true, and they all stay shocked to see her on the sex tapes. When Phoebe discovers what happened, she goes talk to Ursula, the person who is in charge of using her image and name to make porn movies.

Jill doesn't understand when Ross cancels their date, but Rachel tells her that the only reason he canceled was because she wasn't comfortable with them going out. Jill stays angry to know that Rachel made him cancel their date, and stays determined to have Ross in all ways she can only to annoy Rachel and to prove her she is the best.
