I just saw this movie and I can say I kinda liked it. I mean the acting and dialogues were absolutely fine and Francis McDormand was incredible. She almost made me cry. I am their age and I know about these kinds of problems people that age have, except for the wealth that is. So this movie goes on and on in slow mo, but bearable because of the good acting and meanwhile I am thinking about what will happen to each of the couples. Waiting for the excitement. And the movie sucked me in at last and I was really captivated by the story, so curious about the unfolding and then it happened.... The movie ended. And I was like.... wait.....what....? Dearest script writers, just don't do this to us movie enthusiasts. We invest our time. Please give us an ending!

With its poor poster and a such stupid title, i was reluctant to watch it but i tried it anyway : as usual my instinct was right as it's a bad movie. For 90 minutes, nothing happened and the biggest thrill was maybe a broken nose ! It's not a surprise with this movie trend of having several couples mixed together because except adding up stars, they fail every time to have something to say : it's all the more disappointing the 4 couples are well stuffed : Jennifer Aniston, Joan Cusak, Drago's father and Frances : But, frankly, all the clichés about relationships are told without originality : sex life, money, miscommunication, failed stories, getting lost or getting done… The only funny moments are the after parties when each one tells bad things about the others which is something true ! But with Frances being one more time grumbling and the absurd romance of Jennifer, this awful movie just lacks everything !

I had no idea what to expect when I got a hold of this small film. To see almost every scene is just sad cause you know just about every relationship in here is on the scrap heap.A group of 4 friends, all women, share the ups and downs of each others lives. Joan Cusack , Jennifer Aniston, Catherine Keener and Frances Mcdormand are all old friends who are still in each others lives. They see each other constantly and behind each others backs they constantly talk about each other. I guess you could call it typical human behavior. All these women except Jennifer Aniston has money and are successful. Problem is, most of these friendships...and marriages... just don't seem to have any steam anymore. You know the situation, you have a friend you've had a in life who you sometimes sit back and wonder, "why are we still friends?" The same goes for marriages and such.With this you get each scene/scenario with the aforementioned women and how there lives are falling apart or just aren't working out. It's pretty obvious that success doesn't bring happiness. Pretty much a mirror in real life.This certainty isn't a bad film but it really isn't noteworthy in any way. If I had to pick out a standout performance it would be Frances Mcdormand. She brings some believability to a highly successful fashion designer who has had enough of her dull life.Don't watch this one if your depressed or in a bad mood cause it won't make you feel any better. If you wanna see a film about relationships that don't work anymore then give this one a try...you might see something in the story line that your life has.

It's one of those that make you go, "What is this?" at some point.This movie may portray mid-life crises well, but it has no main conflict that drives the plot forward. I played the movie because it starred Jennifer Aniston - and any movie with Aniston must be good - but boy, was I wrong. Sure, she was the character that was captured first and captured last in the film, but I wasn't even sure she was the main character until the very end. I don't expect all the movies I watch to be exciting, but there was nothing in this film to anticipate. Since the conflict wasn't clear (is it that Aaron is having a sexuality problem? that his wife is slowly breaking down? that the rich couple is making everyone jealous? that the dysfunctional couple is dysfunctional?), I wasn't looking for answers or looking forward to anything; I literally almost fell asleep. In other words, there are too many little conflicts and too many little things going on. There is no focus. As great as some of the actors' performances might have been, or how brilliant the concept of capturing all of the common middle-aged troubles in one fantastic film might have seemed, this film does not succeed. It is vague, it doesn't flow, and it is dull. There is no point (What did the writers/producer/director hope to achieve from this movie, other than monetary success (though I highly doubt that happened)?). Perhaps it is good to have some of these out there, since so many films nowadays seem to follow the same old formula, but I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys movies that are popularly deemed worthy. I can see how for some people, the story may have offered some comfort or some down-to-earth, reality time, but for me, it was maybe even a waste of time. With the little enjoyment I got out of watching Friends with Money, a 4 out of 10 is a generous score.
