Friends & Lovers Reviews

To be honest, I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick. Indeed, it is really obscure (I was only the 4th listal member who apparently saw this movie) but since Robert Downey Jr. was involved, I thought I might as well check it out. On top of that, I had this on DVD for a very long time (more than 4 years...) so it was really time to watch the damned thing. Well, eventually, it turned out to be pretty terrible, that's for sure. I mean, I actually have a weak spot for this kind of movies during which a group of very old friends gather together, but this must be the weakest movie I have seen in this genre. For example, during most of the duration, one of the guys have some major beef towards his father when in fact, his dad didn't cheat on his mother, didn't beat him and he wasn't an alcoholic or a junkie so it seems to be rather far-fetched to have this grudge which lasted long enough to be conveniently solved just towards the end after a very quick chitchat. Concerning the rest of the characters, it was not much better, I'm afraid. Basically, the movie mostly focused on them managing to find a romantic interest before the end following some rather boring and rather cumbersome process. Anyway, to conclude, it was pretty bad and I don't think it worth a look at all.
