User Reviews

The One with Rachel's Sister

In this episode we get to know Rachel's sister Jill. Her coming is almost like a flashback of Rachel joining the group. While Jill didn't run away from her wedding, she is a spoiled girl that has trouble resisting buying clothes. And it is funny how Rachel almost convinces her to date Ross while there was no danger first since she saw him as a geek. I love Rachel's reaction when Phoebe first tells about her suspicions

Monica being sick and hitting on Chandler was pretty funny. Courtney Cox did a good job playing the sick Monica, she sure made me laugh a lot
