Movie Reviews of Friends & Lovers
Movie Review: Title Sums It Up
Summary: 2 Stars
It opens cute, with a scene of friends hunting for a perfect Christmas tree for their shared apartment, and debating the merits of long-needle pine over spruce. The gang of friends heads off to a ski weekend courtesy of one of the group's father, and bed-hopping and wanna-be wackiness ensues. There are a few good performances (David Rasche as the johnny-come-lately dad trying to reconnect with his estranged son, well-played by George Newbern, are two stand-outs). The rest of the mostly B-movie casters turn in okay performances. There is a sweet gay sub-plot, too many annoying scenes involving Stephen Baldwin as the stereotypical, annoying, sex-obsessed member of the group, and some gratuitous nudity and language. Then there is Robert Downey Jr., playing a ski resort Lothario intent on seducing Claudia Schiffer, wielding a comic Austrian accent and one of the more creative seduction techniques you may ever see. He seems to be in a different, funnier movie -- the one I hoped I'd see when I popped this into the DVD player. The direction is a bit aimless, but maybe some key transitions ended up in the editing room trash can. And why did the wonderful Anne Magnusen take a bit part as Rasche's fiancee? What a waste. I'd have killed to see her and Downey mix it up! The film is mild rom-com meets relationship drama. Rent, don't buy.
