Review: I quite enjoyed this simple but witty movie about a group of friends who are unhappy with there sex lives. It's very well written and all of the performances are great by the all star cast. The director made it entertaining by intertwining each characters stories with each other. You really don't know what is going to happen from one scene to the next, which made it unpredictable and interesting. It really does show that you don't need a massive budget to make a good movie. Watchable!Round-Up: It amazes me how much people can change with a load of money. Ben Stiller has obviously had a severe teeth job and Aaron Eckhart looks much better without that terrible moustache. Jason Patric has disappeared from the limelight since that terrible Speed 2 movie which was such a disappointment. Catherine Keener looked extremely young and her career had been going from strength to strength with movies like Captain Phillips and the Croods. Anyway, the movie has something for everyone, even though it's really old.I recommend this movie to people who are into there comedy/romance/dramas about a group of friends trying to improve there sex lives. 5/10

There are just so many films just like this, that I can't really say much for Your Friends & Neighbors, mainly because it offers very little to make in memorable or distinguishable in any way. A group of people in their 30's spend the film talking about their unsatisfying relationships and sex lives and cheating on each other with each other; it has all the markings of a 90's theater play, and everything it takes to be an indie darling, including a cast of some of the more popular indie-film stars of the time (this at a time when Ben Stiller was still known more for Reality Bites than for comedies like Zoolander). The acting is indeed good - Jason Patric and Catherine Keener especially, and the film does have a few good scenes, wittily written and well delivered. But in the end, the characters are all completely unlikable and forgettable - they're all characterized solely by their insecurities, shallowness, selfishness, delusions and sexual quirks, and there's nothing there to make the viewer care at all about any of them or about anything that happens to them - and not much happens, at that. The film is the very definition of mediocrity and forgettability.

The opening scene's music of Apocalptica(An instrumental Metallica Cover band made up of four celloists), is a pretty good indicator of the film, beneath the venal of classical form polished performance is an aggressive black electric crassness. Like ...(read more)"Closer", "Hapiness", and "Sex Lies And Videotape", this is a film of infidelity, miscommunication, cruelty, and sex. However, this film wants for a clear theme in ways those films never do, but resounds with every bit of intensity and wit as any. Ben Stiller, Katherine Keener, and Jason Patick are great to watch on screen and I hate Ben Stiler. The upper middle class romantic comedy, and story of forbidden passion, this is and isn't at the same time. Jason Patrick's monologue in the sonna is unforgettable.

This is basically the filmed dissatisfaction of upper-class yuppie life. These are people who have everything but seem to live in a swamp of self loathing and hateful arrogance and selfishness. Their tart, affective interplay is like watching a game of mumbletypeg, but with words. These are the kind of people you would not want to live next door to, but these are the people who usually seem to win in our society, sad as that is to ponder.Jason Patric plays the single most evil person in movie history. His 'shower scene' is sick, twisted, but oddly humorous. You hate yourself for laughing, which is the point. In that way you understand how these people are born. They are us.This is arrogant mall culture, the kind of American decadence the Soviets warned us about. At least they were right about that.The film is about how creeps become dissatisfied at their own creepiness. Great dialog, the ending makes complete, yet sad, sense. Our world is mad, and we need to change it, before it eats us whole.
