FRIENDS WITH MONEY (2006)

NICOLE HOLOFCENER

Plot

Franny and Jane and Christine all have money, Olivia does not. Formerly a teacher, Olivia is now smoking pot and cleaning houses. But her struggle mirrors her friends' in more ways than they'd like to admit. Writer/director Nicole Holofcener comes up trumps again with witty and intelligent dialogue in this film and a human pace which takes time to revel in awkward situations and real life tribulations. Much like in 'Lovely and Amazing', she takes what might seem mundane and somehow makes it universally accessible, something that, regardless of gender or class, we can all understand. A very good little film indeed.
