I have to admit I actually liked this movie. Once I got pass the very pathetic first 10 minutes or so, the sometimes extremely banal dialogues and jokes and the painfully predictable and stereotypical everybody-gets-what-they-wanted ending, "Friends And Lovers" comes out as a fairly decent movie about, well friendship. Plus I enjoyed Robert Downey's character a lot and got to see Suzanne Cryer's right boobie. Besides being very sexy and attractive she also delivered the best performance in the movie(the weeping scene).It is sort of weird to write yourself a scene to show your penis, but hey, whatever rocks Neill Barry's boat. I wondered how they chose the actor(is there an audition for these things), it turned out he was dying to show his pride. If you watch it on TV you just might get pass the bad points and enjoy the movie for what it has to offer; some funny and touching moments, full frontal male nudity, some female nudity, Claudia Schiffer almost nude(not my type, but still) and a decent list of celebrity names you thought you'd never see in this type of movie. 6/10

Ok, ok, this is not a masterpiece. There are thousands of "good" movies and this one is certainly not one of them. But come on! If you rent a video like this you are NOT expecting any intellectual experience or to see award-winning performances (fine, you don't expect to see pointless frontal nudity, either. I've got to give you that). "Friends and lovers" was perfect to help me spend two hours of my time I had nothing better to do with. If that's your case, then rent the video - it can be funny of you don't expect too much.

Read that as 'Wee tah did.' Robert Downey Jr. has a disgusting, fake German accent, and the rest of the movie is worse. I did manage to finish the movie, but I didn't see every scene because I was rolling my eyes continuously.Every line in the movie was superficially 'acted,' if you can call people facing the camera while engaging in a monotonous, boring dialog acting. Save your money.

Contrary to most of the other reviews for this masterpiece, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this movie. Then again, I'm not uptight and I find this sexually explicit tale about relationships interesting and honest. I can see how those who don't get out as much might not like this movie, but for those of you who enjoy funny movies (with a basic plot of sex, sex. and more sex) will adore this work of art. Cryer delivers a beautiful preformance, as does Downey. Eastwood's performance is also commendable. Overall, everyone did a great job! Keep up the good work!
