Reception

Steve Rubenstein of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film zero stars out of four:

“Best Fake Friends is plenty fake, all the way down to the fake cleavages that the fake best friends keep bragging about when they aren’t speaking fake dialogue in a movie that is so fake that the only real thing about it is the $13 you wish you could get back from the box office when it’s over."
