Has anyone seen an old friend have money? A brief review of the film of an old friend with money

Title: Old Friends Have Money.

English name: Friends with Money Director: Nicole Holofcener

Starring: Jennifer Aniston, Joan Cusack, Francis McDurmond, Catherine Keener, Scott Can.

Synopsis: Olivia (Jennifer Aniston), Jane (Frances McDormand), Christine (Catherine Keener) and Franny (Joan Cusack) are four sisters who grew up together, but their life experiences are far from each other. Except for Olivia, who is single, the other three friends are famous playwrights, some have inherited a large inheritance, and some are celebrity costume designers, all of whom have families and are famous.

Only Olivia not only lost her teaching job and made a living by helping others clean the house, but her private life was also a mess and in decline. Olivia secretly envies her friend's decent life, but fame and fortune can't prevent the midlife crisis from invading her life: Jane, a celebrity costume designer, loses interest in everything, she begins to refuse to wash her hair, and quarrels with people everywhere with a greasy chicken coop all day long; The famous playwright Christine and her husband - who are also co-authors - have lost their previous tacit understanding, and they can only rebuild the tacit understanding by renovating the house, but they did not expect that the relationship will be even more devastating and decaying; Franni, who is a perfect match with her husband inside and out, lives in abundance with a huge inheritance, but the extreme comfort gives birth to unwarranted worries ......

I've seen this movie, and it has nothing to do with Friends. It's two different things entirely. Anniston plays a very undesirable nanny, and ends up with a fat man with a little money.

As a film that reflects the life and psychology of women, this film is somewhat similar to the film version of "City of Desire". The main line of the whole movie revolves around Olivia, using her as a subjective perspective to observe the joys and sorrows in the lives of three rich best friends. It explores the age-old topic of the causal relationship between money and happiness by describing each person's individual life situation, and at the same time tells how four good friends who grew up together deal with conflicts and contradictions with each other in the face of disparities in status and wealth, face difficulties together, and help each other, reflecting the many unexpected things that everyone faces in the world when they grow up.

This film was not favored before its release, because the word "friends" is in the title, and it is led by Anne Silken, which inevitably makes people suspect that this will become a movie version of a low-quality soap opera. But after the release, the response was unexpectedly good, professional film critics gave a high score of B, and the audience's comprehensive evaluation was also B-. As a low-budget hail comedy, and at the same time, it was not fully released, and the box office rose instead of falling two weeks after its release, rising from 18th to 10th, reflecting the momentum of full stamina.

It seems that this time not only the old friends will have money, but the publisher will also be able to make a lot of money.

The film is touching, but slightly lacking in depth.

Dallas Morning News

Interesting and smart, he has a unique eye for the ups and downs of female friendship.

Miami Herald

With hilarity, pain, and a perception of life, "Old Friends Are Rich" is enough to touch the nerves.

Rolling Stone Magazine

The observation is sharp and the brushstrokes are clever, but the ending of the film is somewhat superficial, just like the life of the characters in the film.

USA Today

After starring in two of the worst films of 2005, "Jedi Dragon" and "Gossip", Jennifer Aniston finally made a comeback with this film.
