Although very different, there is an instant spark between the two and they want to be more than "just friends", but both have issues with their mothers that threaten to jeopardize their relationship. Review With the right mix of humor, romance, sexiness and pathos, this enchanting cross-cultural love story... is a witty, well-acted crowd-pleaser. --San Francisco ChronicleA delight... comic and romantic in perfect harmony; this is such an sweet film. --Sydney Arts GuideAn excellent piece of queer cinema. --Out In Perth Review: A sweet gay love story with a compelling cast of characters - This is a sweet and romantic love story between two young men in the Netherlands, from very different backgrounds. In some ways, it's like a gay Romeo & Juliette, but with a happy ending. Their relationship faces some prejudices from their families--but refreshingly, family homophobia is never really an issue. Both boys are out to their respective families, and for Joris his sexuality is completely incidental; while for Yad you get the feeling that it's mostly incidental (there might still be some lingering feelings of disappointment from his mother, but they're only partly tied to Yad's sexuality). Meanwhile, Joris's grandmother provides some comedic moments, along with a fair bit of wisdom. Each is quite attractive in his own very different way, and the two leads look well together. There are a couple of hot scenes, and some good eye-candy, but all very tastefully done and serving the story. My only criticism might be that Joris's mother seemed to be a rather two-dimensional character for much of the film, but by the end it had plumbed some depths with her, and there is a satisfying resolution to her mother-son conflict with Joris. A good story, with a happy ending that fits and doesn't feel tacked on just for the sake of a happy ending. Review: Beautiful and Hilarious with an Amazing Story - This was an amazing film with beautiful characters, hilarious dialogues and scenes, great character development, and uplifting story. I love the fact that the film did not incorporate the usual depressing theme orbiting the LGBTQ+ Community. I think normalizing unconventional gender roles or sexual orientations with this kind of vibe is helpful to the community. Also, I love the fact that the trope "the parents do not like the boyfriend" is included here - it's cute! The storyline is not something new but the fact that it's used in this genre is very positive and refreshing! Finally, I love the characters and character development! I mean, how funny is this movie? even that final urn-scene the mother was absolutely hilarious to me. P.S. I love the Granny. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07LD4R4T4 | | Actors | Jenny Arean, Josha Stradowski, Majd Mardo, Tanja Jess | | Best Sellers Rank | #197,567 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #739 in LGBT (Movies & TV) #19,297 in Comedy (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,130) | | Director | Ellen Smit | | Item model number | B07LD4R4T4 | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.82 ounces | | Release date | April 9, 2019 | | Run time | 1 hour and 24 minutes | | Studio | Wolfe Video | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Ellen Smit, Jenny Arean, Josha Stradowski, Majd Mardo, Tanja Jess - **Format:** NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Genre:** Comedy - **Language:** Dutch - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 24 minutes ## Images ![Just Friends - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gKRSo6BmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A sweet gay love story with a compelling cast of characters *by G***N on September 12, 2020* This is a sweet and romantic love story between two young men in the Netherlands, from very different backgrounds.

I thought it was going to be your typical gay romance film but it was so much more. The film cast a wide net drawing in themes and characters outside of the main couple that has made this film so endearing. Yes, there were subtitles but I don't mind reading if the film is worth it and this was easily worth stopping to pay attention. I think everyone wants to find a love like this that is pure, affirming, and beautiful whether straight, gay, bi, or whatever. And that it touched on other parts of life in both character's lives outside and in spite of the love story makes the film even better. There are no big or bombastic events, just the small stuff of life as people try to find and love the people in their life. I highly recommend this film. It's simply beautiful. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fi/products/97752855-just-friends](https://www.desertcart.fi/products/97752855-just-friends) --- *Product available on Desertcart Finland* *Store origin: FI* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
