![]() Jealousy, the late-'90s romantic comedy that stands as writer-director Noah Baumbach's weakest movie to date. The white-haired fortysomething, respected by his community, has a history of relationships that went south over absurd accusations born out of Charlie's extreme jealousy. As his friend Jason (Adam Rodriguez) explains in narration, Charlie has been unlucky in love, but that's because being in love turns him psychotic. Lovesick stars LeBlanc, who continues to embrace his surname follicly, as Charles Winston Darby, the principal of an elementary school in San Pedro, California. But it will not revive the actor's film career which peaked with 1998's Lost in Space, famous only for being the film to finally bump Titanic to second place at the weekend box office. Lovesick premiered at the Newport Beach International Film Festival in April 2014 and supposedly received a super limited theatrical release along with VOD availability in February 2015. Currently in its fourth season, "Episodes" was truly a comeback vehicle for LeBlanc, whose only other post-"Joey" credits were guest starring on Kudrow's "Web Therapy." Now, LeBlanc picks up his first feature film credit since 2003, when he reprised the role of Jason Gibbons in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. Since then, LeBlanc rebounded with "Episodes", Showtime's critically acclaimed comedy which sees him playing a version of himself, a role for which he won his first Golden Globe. Joey got his own spin-off, though one that now seems like an instant laughingstock despite running two full seasons on NBC. Matt LeBlanc was the only Friend unwilling to let go of his character at the series' conclusion. ![]() Simpson trial-focused first season upcoming FX anthology "American Crime Story." Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow have both had some ups and downs on television, while Matthew Perry has repeatedly failed to get renewed on three different shows (his fourth try, CBS' "The Odd Couple" remake, broke his losing streak with its recent renewal announcement). He'll also portray Robert Kardashian in the O.J. ![]() Schwimmer has been directing films and TV. At the other end of the spectrum, David Schwimmer has basically disappeared from the limelight apart from voicing Melman the giraffe in DreamWorks' Madagascar films and shorts, Jennifer Aniston has been doin' quite well as a movie star in major comedies she's had flops, but also a number of hits and even picked up a Golden Globe nomination for her dramatic performance in Cake. If the signature question of Joey Tribbiani was asked of the six stars of "Friends" not as a pick-up line but as a genuine query about the current status of their careers, they would all have very different answers.
