The message of the film soon becomes clear, once we get a closer look at the problems everyone's facing: money doesn't buy happiness. We get it. The ...( read more)

August 1, 2008There is a simple way to describe Friends with Money, think about Sex and The City minus the shallow characters, shallow dialogue and shameless advertising and you have to very touching and insightful Friends With Money.
This is one of the movies that guys should watch just to u...( read more) -
April 7, 2008I guess this is an OK movie. It examines the relationships of four friends - women who are in their 40's and managing their relationships with various levels of success.

September 12, 2009This is a lovely chick flick for a rainy day. It's funny, uplifting and the guy who all gay men and everyone else think is gay but who isn't is really sweet. Jennifer Aniston plays a good role but I feel she plays it a bit one dimensional - there's no depth to it. Overall thou...( read more)

Holofcener builds scenes around motifs that resonate marvelously. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Sharply observed and cleverly written, in the end, the film is also a bit superficial, like its characters' lives. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
It's so effortless and pleasant to spend time with the characters (and the actresses) in Friends With Money that it seems churlish to notice that the movie adds up to nothing much. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
In hanging out with Franny, Christine, Jane and Olivia, you get not only a nuanced portrait of women's friendship but a glorious showcase of four actresses in their prime. full review

I'm officially fed up with Jennifer Aniston's blue period. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
These are people not so different from those you know or perhaps even are, ever so slightly inflated, all the better to gently puncture. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The movie lacks warmth and edge. It seems to be more of an idea than a story. full review

Marcy Dermansky, About.com
I do not doubt that vapid people like these exist; that does not mean they are worth watching. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
For a movie rich in hilarity, heartbreak and a sense of life in all its vibrant, messy sprawl, watch Friends With Money. It touches a nerve. full review

August 22, 2008Why did everyone in this movie end up depressed and even when Jen's character was meant to have been happy - she was still depressed.

February 5, 2008I did not like this movie at all. It just kept getting worse and worse the longer that I watched it. The ONLY good thing about this movie was Jason Isaacs!!

June 19, 2006Poignant, Excellently Acted and Often Hilarious while it lasts, but the ending is a bit disappointing. Worth seeing, but with reservations.
