When Jessica's husband files for divorce, her first instinct is to hop on a flight across the country to move back in with her best friend, Lennon, in Brooklyn. Complicating things is Lennon's boyfriend, Joe, who recently moved into the apartment and feels pushed aside while the two friends fall back into their old routines that include late-night chats and movie marathons. While Lennon and Joe struggle to readjust their relationship, Jessica heads back into a dating world that has left her behind.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Its appealing leads have comedic chemistry, but Best Friends Forever unfortunately succumbs to an overly familiar premise and so-so writing.
