While starring on Friends, she made several feature films, including the surprise hit Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion (1997), the off-the-wall comedy The Opposite of Sex (1998, starring Christina Ricci), and the box-office smashes Analyze This and Analyze That (1988 and 2002, both with Billy Crystal). Since the end of her turn as Phoebe, Kudrow has worked in feature films such as Wonderland (2003) and Happy Endings (2005, with Maggie Gyllenhaal), and briefly starred in her own TV series, The Comeback (2005).
