Friends with Money is about that, friends with money. Well, not exactly all the friends. Jennifer Aniston is a single maid and the black sheep of the group .
Can you believe Jennifer Aniston as a maid? Yeah, neither can I. The production people could have at least attempted to make her look a bit homely. Messy hair? Baggy clothes? No? Nothing? Okay. Nevertheless, she does have her moments as an actress. Like, take a look at her expressions as Scott Caan asks for his cuts.
The wonderfully cast friends with money are Joan Cusack, Catherine Keener, and Frances McDormand. Of special note is Catherine Keener, a staple of Nicole Holofcener's films, including the indie gem Walking and Talking. Keener is definitely an underrated actress. She can portray messed-up everyday women, as well as the object of affection of the 40-Year-Old Virgin and Being John Malkovich. And it doesn't hurt she has a cute hubby.
Special features include commentary and featurettes.
rating: ***1/2/***** (an indie find)
