Friends with Money / USA / 2006

Writer-director Nicole Holofcener seems divided between genuine affection for her characters and a desire to lampoon them, and as a result, what could have been either a multi-layered portrayal of female friendships or a sharp satire comes across as a somewhat limp cross between the two. Strong performances by Jennifer Aniston, Joan Cusack, Catherine Keener, and Frances McDormand go a long way in making up for this, but don’t quite pick up all the slack.
