Beautiful, moving film.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Friends With MoneyA smart and more importantly a mature way to approach the episodes of lives of old ordinary friends that is shockingly gripping and funny for around 90 minutes. The writer-director Nicole Holofcener knows its strength i.e. unpredictable natured script, that thickens more and more as it ages on the screen and offers some of the most developed feature in this genre, if not the best. Sharing their screen time, all the leading ladies; Jennifer Aniston, Joan Cusack, Frances McDormand and Catherine Keener, are upto their mark and delivers the best in their limited span. Friends With Money is sharp, to the point and fast paced script that twists its way around the sub-plots holding them onto their seat and offers something new which is always rare.

With its poor poster and a such stupid title, i was reluctant to watch it but i tried it anyway : as usual my instinct was right as it's a bad movie. For 90 minutes, nothing happened and the biggest thrill was maybe a broken nose ! It's not a surprise with this movie trend of having several couples mixed together because except adding up stars, they fail every time to have something to say : it's all the more disappointing the 4 couples are well stuffed : Jennifer Aniston, Joan Cusak, Drago's father and Frances : But, frankly, all the clichés about relationships are told without originality : sex life, money, miscommunication, failed stories, getting lost or getting done
The only funny moments are the after parties when each one tells bad things about the others which is something true ! But with Frances being one more time grumbling and the absurd romance of Jennifer, this awful movie just lacks everything !

Simple yet meaningful and deep drama, wonderful honest versatile acting. Very down to earth acting and plot..very touching message and meaningful one We see what we want to see We do wt we want to do regardless how it may affect others around us One of the best if not the best roles and acting for J. Aneston.. This film is worth watching three times it has many beauty aspects that you cant grasp from the first time..don't get fooled by other criticisms written about this film by others..its an art film done in an American way I hope J. A continuous to pick roles like that where she can show case her talent. Its a relatively old film that you may not find easily , but its worth watching Rest of crew did their roles quite well in relative degrees,go for it

The good 1% of movies out of Los Angeles is here: Friends with money has excellent acting (even Jennifer Aniston cannot mollify director Nicole Holofcener's excellent script) wonderful dialogue with wit and moral. Joan Cusack, Catherine Keener, Simon McBurney are remarkable actors who give solid credibility to their characters, providing the viewer with a great opportunity to social critique while being serenely entertained. Special mention: Scott Caan who plays the jerk with charming villainy.The wit flows everywhere, nobody is spared. The rhythm is spicily quick, there is little time for reflection, (as it is to be done posthumously, one presumes) Great directing by Holofcener, memorable! We only hope the percentage of good movies like this from LA increases, so we don't all migrate towards foreign cinema!
