Weekend trips, office parties, late night conversations, drinking on the job, marriage pressure, biological clocks, holding eye contact a second too long… you know what makes the line between “friends” and “more than friends” really blurry? Beer.

A supposed comedy without surprising moments or funny situations, predictable and without romantic tension, in which the only interesting characteristic of the male 'handsome' is that he plays cards and wins. Plus it's one of those movies where the prettiest girl is the loser. Where have I seen this? Seems like all the fun is in drinking all the time. It looks like a promo of a beer brand rather than a movie in which its creators want to transmit some of their creativity. Flat and boring.

Drinking BuddiesIt may resemble too much to the real world and still offer us enough reason to hang on to it as it is so perfectly written that its tone is surprisingly acceptable.

In Chicago, Kate (Olivia Wilde) is the PR of a brewery. Her boyfriend is Chris (Ron Livingston) and her best friend is her coworker Luke (Jake Johnson), who lives with his girlfriend Jill (Anna Kendrick). When Chris invites Luke and Jill to spend the weekend at his house by the lake, he gets closer to Jill while Kate spends most of the time with Luke. When they return to the city, Chris breaks up with Kate. She becomes upset and decides to celebrate with her coworkers in a bar; then she has one night stand with her colleague Dave (Ti West). When Luke learns what happened in the previous night, he becomes kind of jealous. Will their relationship be affected? "Drinking Buddies" is a film about friendship and beers. The movie keeps a sexual tension between Kate and Luke that goes nowhere. Every viewer might have believed that the association of drinks and close relationship would go in a different direction, but it does not. But the chemistry between Olivia Wilde and Jake Johnson is impressive and beautiful to see. The scene when the gorgeous Olivia Wilde takes her clothes off is extremely sensual. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Um Brinde À Amizade" ("A Toast to Friendship")

Neither one of the leads were likable. The two most likable characters to me were the two side characters. I could tell the movie was mostly improvised and the actors did not feel natural in that environment. There were times when it clicked, but not often. Some of the dialog was good in these moments, but it was never consistent. I remember laughing once during the whole movie and rolling my eyes for most of it. The two cast members, Ron Livingston and Anna Kendrick, were not the main focus of the movie and the only reason I watched it. In general I do not like Jake Johnson and I have no opinion on Olivia Wilde. I guess they both did an OK job, but they were both so annoying in general
