Friends with Money

Don't go see this movie expecting to laugh and get your mood uplifted. It's a dark movie, misleadingly being marketed as a comedy. The characters are basically all unhappy and screwed-up, and nobody's character grows over the course of the movie.... Full review

Friends With Money has a good premise. There is a neat story that is being told. However, from beginning to end, there is not a good flow to the story. There is a great, talented cast in this movie, but not... Full review

Not only is this not a groundbreaking film, it's not a particularly pleasant, or enjoyable one either. It centers around a group of early 40s-somethings who hate their lives, their spouses and their place in the world. The casting of... Full review

"Friends With Money" seems like an incomplete film. It's as if writer-director Nicole Holofcener either got tired of her characters and simply ran out of ideas. I don't mind films where nothing much happens or there is no narrative conclusion.... Full review

It's true that this movie is utterly bereft of car crashes and blood, but both my husband and I enjoyed it very much. I found it very refreshing to spend time in the company of people my age whose lives... Full review

Like Holofcener's 2002 film, Lovely and Amazing, Friends With Money offers an enticing keyhole through which we can peer.....Nicole Holofcener's aptly titled, wryly observant film about friends and money is bitter and sweet in equal parts.....This is the kind of script actors love, and the fine ensemble cast nails the nuances of their vastly different characters beautifully.....although there is a nice twist to the ending, allowing a layer of complexity to settle on the issue..... ...
