Goofs

Phoebe expresses shock when she discovers that anyone can legally change their name to anything, for any reason. This contradicts Season 4, Episode 18: "The One with Rachel's New Dress", where Chandler tricks Phoebe into naming one of her babies after him by threatening to "go to the courthouse" to change his name.

User Reviews

The One with Princess Consuela

I love how Phoebe changed her name! This is so her! Such a crazy and fun name as well. And Mike did a good job at convincing her to change it again. I would also like to add that it was awesome to see Craig Robinson as the clerk. He is now having a part in The Office and I think that he is great

The story with Rachel's interview and how she ended up being fired because of it was pretty good as well. And what came out of it was even better. So good to see Mark helping her with getting a job again. And Ross didn't recognize him, that was awesome! And it got better when Rachel tells him that it is Mark. We see him all acting jealous again, like Chandler said "It is seven years ago!". It really gives one a sweet nostalgic feeling, which is good so close to the ending of the show

The story with the house wasn't so good. And there was Dakota Fanning. People keep on saying she is a great child actor, well I never saw her in anything but this and I must say she was very bad
