Good story, Not enough for a whole film

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Terrible! Robert, oh Robert, why did you slum it up by doing this movie? With his acting caliber, I really don't get his need to be in this film? Was it a favor to a friend, or a desperate need for, um, something else? I love you, RDJ, but stay away from crap feasts like this in the future, please!First of all, who can honestly believe any of these actors to be twenty-somethings? Second, Stephen has proved why he's the least talented of the Baldwins. Finally, well, the previous posters had said all that needed to be said. It is a stilted, B-movie disguised as an indie film. I was disappointed.

Ok, ok, this is not a masterpiece. There are thousands of "good" movies and this one is certainly not one of them. But come on! If you rent a video like this you are NOT expecting any intellectual experience or to see award-winning performances (fine, you don't expect to see pointless frontal nudity, either. I've got to give you that). "Friends and lovers" was perfect to help me spend two hours of my time I had nothing better to do with. If that's your case, then rent the video - it can be funny of you don't expect too much.

This movie was different, which is why a lot of people probably didn't like it. It seemed a lot more personal, or natural, than most 'movies'. Friends talking about friend things. It didn't seem over produced and over scripted. I doubt if it was ever meant to be a block-buster movie, just a good, different perspective on the subject of "Friends & Lovers". I really think that the Jane character was played and developed very well for a controversial character. Single, pregnant women aren't usually portrayed as normal people in movies. Jane was completely normal, fun and had a personality that was likable. Overall, a good, fun flick, just don't expect to find revealing life lessons within the plot.

There are three kinds of bad movies: movies that defy reality but still entertain, movies that so bad that they're funny, and unforgivable pieces of cow dung that you watch in disbelief as it approaches badness from all directions. "Friends & Lovers" fits the last category like a wedding dress. It is one of the most jaw-droppingly bad movies I have ever seen. This film has, virtually, no redeeming qualities. The acting is wooden and unrealistic, notably by Claudia Schiffer and, surprisingly, Robert Downey Jr. One person I did like and care for was Danny Nucci's character, but he couldn't have save this film if his life depended on it. The characters carry on, endlessly, in boring, silly and uninvolving conversations. This cast could have had a lot of potential had they had a script that wasn't found in a garbage dump. I was never really fond of Stephen Baldwin, the only role I accepted him in was "The Usual Suspects." There was a moment in the film where is a graphic close-up shot of a man's genitals that is, not only gratuitous, but it ruined what could have been a semi-chuckle on my part. I don't know. All was lost on this film. "Friends & Lovers" ranks in the same field as 1997's worst film, "Gone Fishin'."
