Friends With Money

Jennifer Aniston stars in the quirky drama Friends With Money. She plays a high school teacher who gets "fed up" one day, and quits her job. To subsidize her unemployment, she takes up housecleaning. Compounding this unlikely plot is that her friends are all millionaires several times over. What follows is one of those "slice of life" style plots where the paths keep crossing, with the emphasis on Aniston. Along the way we explore issues of self esteem, dependent relationships, and, not surprisingly from the title, money.

Friends With Money is quite simply a well acted, too slow paced, downer of a film. If you have too much sunshine in your perfect life then by all means, enjoy. The rest of us will likely find better entertainment elsewhere.

Overall Grade: C
