Read that as 'Wee tah did.' Robert Downey Jr. has a disgusting, fake German accent, and the rest of the movie is worse. I did manage to finish the movie, but I didn't see every scene because I was rolling... Full review

With a cast like this, you figure the film shouldn't be that bad, but believe me it is. The cast are fighting a losing battle from the start, Robert Downey Jr, should kick himself for getting wrapped up in this... Full review

"Friends And Lovers" Trashed by every critic, and deservedly so. This comedy features the oddest tone of a feature film in some time. It's silly, it's deeply dramatic, it's sexually explicit, it's shockingly amateurish... It's everything!Stephen Baldwin, Allison Eastwood, Danny... Full review

In light of that, it comes as no surprise that Barry helped write the story, with writer-director George Haas.
Downey is funny as a German ski instructor with a thick accent -- he mugs, purses his lips and rolls his eyes.

This isn't even the worst film of the year!
Friends & Lovers got a bad rap.
but the worst film ever made

This movie is not merely bad, but incompetent.
I don't want to review " Friends & Lovers ," I want to flunk it.
If I ever do a festival of films that deserve to be overlooked, " Friends & Lovers " is my opening night selection.

Overall, "Friends and Lovers" is bad film with a dreary script and an incompetent cast of "characters".
Danny Nucci is as annoying as ever.
Stephen Baldwin, with his blonde hair, is ridiculous.
