05/27/06
It’s entertaining, with some choice performances and the laugh-out-loud quotient of a good sketch show.
05/26/06
Top CriticAs a creator of characters, Holofcener has strong instincts for emblematic situations and telling habits, yet she takes a reticent approach to development -- she observes her subjects closely, but doesn’t necessarily interpret.
05/25/06
Top CriticAniston ditches her perky romcom persona and delivers a downbeat but likeable and surprisingly moving performance that anchors the film.
05/25/06
It's a shame the film ends so unconvincingly, but Friends With Money is still rich in insights.
05/16/06
Top CriticInsightful and refreshingly open-handed, this ensemble drama taps into some painfully real emotions while maintaining an enjoyable comical tone.

Tidily grounded in Sitcomland

The script is full of witty gems, while still remaining rooted in reality.
06/13/08
Holofcener's anecdotal narrative doesn't give us much purchase on any of the characters.
02/13/08
An astutely observed relationship dramedy, painfully funny even as it burns.

...remains oddly uninvolving for the majority of its brisk running time.
08/04/07
For all its Sundance cool factor, the latest from this gifted director glances off the viewer without leaving much impact.
03/01/07
Una comedia agridulce sobre las relaciones de pareja y amistad de cuatro mujeres acomodadas, con buenos diálogos y observación de personajes. Muy buen elenco.
01/09/07
Problematic at the center, but there's still pleasure to be had in watching the actresses navigate the emotional terrain.
10/20/06
This is a dense and sophisticated work about mortality, materialism, madness, jealousy and pity a movie in which the fabulous duds are ripped off the "Sex and the City" gals and they're left teetering on the edge of the abyss...
10/07/06
These characters are worth a visit, but don't be surprised if they don't stay with you for very long once you've gone home.
