A complete waste of time except for some solid performances
“Friends with Money” lives up to its title—it’s about Olivia
(Jennifer Aniston) a house cleaner who remains friends with
her wealthy married friends Franny (Joan Cusack), Jane (Frances
McDormand) and Christine (Catherine Keener). Each character
has a crisis that impacts their relationship with the underachieving
Olivia. ***
It’s as if director Nicole Holocener watched too many
Woody Allen and Nora Ephron films back to back and tried
to channel their spirit for this indie disaster. It’s as
unfunny as can be and worse than Allen or Ephron’s worst
films. ---
Image & Sound:
A marvelous looking transfer for an underachieving film
“Friends with Money” looks exceptionally good here with
both the widescreen and full screen versions of the film
on the same disc. The dialogue comes across with nice presence
with dialogue crisp and clear. ---
