Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart Reunite for “Just Friends” Sequel Commercial for Aviation Gin

Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart have reunited for a hilarious new Aviation Gin commercial that serves as a “self-funded sequel” to their 2005 romantic comedy “Just Friends”.

In the commercial, Reynolds and Smart reprise their roles as Chris Brander and Jamie Palumbo, two friends who have harbored secret romantic feelings for each other for years. The commercial opens with Chris and Jamie catching up at a bar, where Chris is trying to convince Jamie to try Aviation Gin. Jamie is hesitant at first, but she eventually gives in and is pleasantly surprised by the taste.

“I’m impressed,” Jamie says. “I didn’t know you had it in you.”

“I have a lot in me,” Chris replies with a wink.

The commercial then cuts to a series of flashbacks from “Just Friends,” which show Chris and Jamie’s relationship over the years. We see them as kids, as teenagers, and as young adults. Throughout the flashbacks, it is clear that Chris and Jamie have always had a deep connection, but they have never been able to act on their feelings.

Finally, the commercial returns to the present day. Chris and Jamie are now both successful adults, but they still have the same unresolved feelings for each other. As they continue to drink Aviation Gin, they start to let down their guard and open up to each other.

“I’ve always had a crush on you, Jamie,” Chris admits.

Jamie is stunned, but she admits that she has felt the same way about Chris for years.

“I’ve just never been able to say anything,” Jamie says.

Chris and Jamie lean in for a kiss, but they are interrupted by a loud crash. The commercial ends with Chris and Jamie laughing off the awkward moment and sharing another drink of Aviation Gin.

The “Just Friends” sequel commercial is a clever and funny way to promote Aviation Gin. It is sure to appeal to fans of the original movie, as well as anyone who enjoys a good romantic comedy.

In addition to being a great piece of marketing, the commercial is also a reminder of the enduring power of friendship. Chris and Jamie may have taken a long time to admit their true feelings for each other, but their friendship never wavered. This is a testament to the strength of their bond.

So raise a glass of Aviation Gin to Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart, and to the power of friendship!
