Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

marcbina 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.

Trinity83-2 Gees, what a film. Basically, a lot of friends (and enemies?) on a skiing holiday togheter. The result of the film is pretty much that all the wrong people end up in bed together. You wouldn't think this would make a good film, but it does! At least I think so. It's a complicated movie, but still it doesn't require much thinking. (hm...) Most of the thinking cosists of trying to keep all the different characters apart.Personally, I think this is a basic case of "we're-on-holiday-so-we-can-do-what-we-like" and maybe it's not the best plot ever. Still, you can't help but enjoy it when Claudia's character dumps her arrogant, but good-looking, boyf. for Robert DJ's rather silly (but charming) character. Sends out a message that looks don't really matter. Any guy (or girl) who's ever wanted anyone "outta their league" probably feels the same way.So, in my opinion, a GREAT film... Sorry other people don't feel the same way.

Wayne Huffman I didn't think this was such a bad movie. I've certainly seen worse. As for Robert Downey Jr.'s accent, it was supposed to be bad (his character was from New Jersey!). I like Danny Nucci, and I wish I could see him get better roles. All in all, I think this is a fair movie. 5/10

TadW Friends and Lovers is a fun comedy about romantic chemistry. It goes a little to far on the explicit side and takes the next step in putting your average conservative person a little further in the closet; but that comes with the turf when you want to laugh at issues other film makers are afraid to broach. They did a good job of developing a group of characters. I especially enjoyed Cryer's character, a single pregnant woman had fun with the girls, had everyone in awe, and fit in with the group. Cryer made me feel good for her character. If you rent alot of videos, make sure you include this one.
