Episode 12 - TOW Phoebe's Wedding
20 January 2009
Review
Synopsis: Phoebe and Mike get married in the snow. 30 minutes of problems to overcome and sentimental shows of friendship. The Good: There are a few moments of genuine affection which are nice. The guys all camp up their characters to try and make this funny. The Bad: But it isn’t. Stupid plots don’t matter in a sit com if you are really laughing but here there is nothing. Monica being horrible to Phoebe because she is such a control freak doesn’t fit who Monica is; it just fits the crappy joke stereotype they have made her. Surely she would perceive her friends’ unhappiness. Ross and Chandler attacking Phoebe for not letting them be in the wedding, Joey acting like Phoebe’s Dad – it’s all stupid. Then there is Mike. There is nothing wrong with the performance but there just doesn’t seem to be any reason why he is the right man for Phoebe. Best Line: (Mike) “Thanks for coming you guys.” (Mi hugs Ro)
(Ro) “I uh I was going for a handshake.”
(Mi) “Is that why your hand is pressed against my crotch?”
(Ro) “That is why.” Best Friend: Joey
