friendly review 

A positive review you give to a movie, book, TV series or CD that you don't like but which a friend has recommended to you, usually because you don't want to hurt their feelings.

Rod: I watched that movie The Departed last night which John lent me.
Tom: What did you think?
Rod: I hated it.
Tom: Oh boy, he loves that movie. What did you tell him?
Rod: I told him it was great.
Tom: You gave it a friendly review, huh?
Rod: Yeah, you know what he’s like.

friend pusher 

Someone who tries to get you to become friends with their friends.

Phil is such a friend pusher. I went to a bar last night to have a quiet drink with him and he had also invited these friends of his he keeps on saying I'll get along with.

The ill-effects one has after eating very hot or spicy food; food blowback which burns.

Dude, I had such burnback after that curry I had last night, no-one could go in the bathroom for the rest of the day.
