Friends with Money (2006)
Culture Cash
By Jeffrey M. Anderson Four of our greatest sexy/quirky actresses band together for writer/director Nicole Holofcener's Woody Allen-ish examination of four modern women friends. Three (Joan Cusack, Catherine Keener and Frances McDormand) are married and wealthy, while the fourth, Olivia (Jennifer Aniston), is the movie's centerpiece -- poor, single and aimless, currently working as a maid. Money really does matter here; the richer the characters, the smaller their problems get. Yet Keener is especially potent worrying about a multi-story addition to her luxurious home and its effect on the neighbors. Tellingly, the wealthiest couple of all (Cusack and Greg Germann) has no problems at all. The material is alternately rich or thin, depending on the performers' aptitude for mastering Holofcener's neurotically funny dialogue.
