Product Notes
Nicole Holofcener's first two films, 1996's WALKING & TALKING and 2001's LOVELY & AMAZING, were intelligent looks at modern-day relationships between friends and family. Continuing her one-movie-every-five-years schedule, 2006's FRIENDS WITH MONEY follows that tradition of smart screenwriting, excellent acting, and careful direction. FRIENDS WITH MONEY focuses on four female friends examining their relationships with their significant others and themselves--and not always liking what they see. Frances McDormand stars as Jane, a successful dress designer who has taken to wild public outbursts, stops washing her hair, and is married to a kind man who might be gay (Simon McBurney). Joan Cusack is Franny, a multimillionaire who appears to have the perfect life with her husband (Greg Germann) and kids. Catherine Keener plays Christine, who is building her dream house and writing a screenplay with her husband (Jason Isaacs) as their life together is crumbling. And the youngest of the foursome, Olivia (Jennifer Aniston), is a pot-smoking ne'er-do-well who works as a maid, stalks her ex-lover, and has a thing about not paying for certain high-end cosmetics. As they prepare to attend a major fundraiser for ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), they all take stock of their lives, reaching some very difficult conclusions. Holofcener has again created the kind of fascinating, complex characters, insightful and believable dialogue, and wholly realistic situations, crafting an adult look at life and love in the 21st century.

Most Recent Customer Reviews  Friends With Bad Taste, November 22, 2007
By MedicCritic
I ended up buying this movie because a friend recommended it to me. Of course,
I see now I have Friends with Bad (Film) Tastes...
Olivia (Jennifer Aniston)
is an ex-teacher turned pothead maid who has 3 life-long girlfriends (played by
super fantastic, but still not great in this film -- Joan Cusack, Frances
McDormand and Catherine Keener) who are not only friends with money, they are
friends with A LOT of money. Set in LA, the film really highlights the
difference between successful multimillionaires and failures like Olivia. Her
friends buy $80 childrens shoes, and Olivia has to borrow someone elses vibrator
(and Im not making this up...)
Anyway, I was hoping it would be a film I
could relate to: middle age, with girlfriends who have more money than others,
but this film is more like "FRIENDS WITH EXTREME FINANCIAL DIFFERENCES!" --
unrelatable and boring.

For a better chick flick about friends with money, set in LA, girlfriend and middle-aged characters I suggest: Boys on the Side (1995) and Crash (2005) watched back-to-back and I think it does what FWM was trying to do.
