Review of Friends with Money (2006) by Tracyr. — 28 Apr 2006
I really wanted to like it, and there were a few apt observations here and there, but nowhere near enough given the potential. [***SPOILERS***] No credible backstory (why are these women friends, where did they all come from, what is the history of these relationships?).
What the heck did happen to Olivia? Why can't she teach somewhere where the kids aren't so obnoxious? In stead of filling out ANY of these questions : the movie resorts to gimmicks that are supposed to be worth a thousand words, but aren't (Keener bumping into things, McDormand and her hair, Cusack and the husband buying two toys and Aniston with the face cream).
overly repeated and not as revealing as the screenwriter seems to think they are. If you're going to take on the very tough issue of class, you hae to do a little more than this. Disappointing, on the whole.
