Jennifer Aniston, Catherine Keener, Frances McDormand and Joan Cusak star in a film the NEW YORK TIMES hails as "a bittersweet comedy about the drama of being alive.'' (Manohla Dargis) The film is the story of four best friends whose comfortable lives are thrown off balance as the realities of early middle age set in. It paints a painfully hilarious portrait of modern life in the class-sensitive west side of Los Angeles. Written and directed by Nicole Holofcener (LOVELY AND AMAZING), FRIENDS WITH MONEY was the Opening Night Selection at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. Allisoin Benedikt of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE has called FRIENDS WITH MONEY "acutely perceptive and slyly quick-witted."
"Rich in hilarity, heartbreak and a sense of life in all its vibrant, messy sprawl." -- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE

Comments
This film picks up on the subtle, cultural differences between friends of various class backgrounds, and portrays just how painful these perceived differences can be to the working class. While at first glance, this film might appear to be another "First Wives Club" but it isn't at all. Though humorous and entertaining, the subject matter is serious and seriously relevant.
