Reviews
Peter McGinn
I will readily admit that my reviews show that I am a bit of an easy grader on romantic comedies. Give me witty main characters with at least a modicum of chemistry, and a script that doesn’t insult my intelligence, and I will not regret watching it. Friends with Money seems to hit the ground running with a stroke of originality in that it covers not just one couple, but a group of friends all located somewhere on the relationship success spectrum. They provide enough depth to each character that it didn’t occur to me that the Jennifer Anniston character was probably the star, coming from the hugely successful show Friends, but to me this was a fine ensemble cast. Frances McDormand and Joan Cusack were great, for a start. There were a few cringeworthy moments, but not enough to distract my enjoying the performances. The ending for Anniston’s character was a nice finishing touch also.

2005-01-191986 - The protest movement against the construction of the nuclear power plant in Brokdorf is on its last legs. Only one rural commune remains: the "Alternative Wohnkollektiv Regenbogen". For them, it could go on and on with endless consensus discussions, shearing sheep and naked communal bathing. One day, the lowland communards are joined by two city dwellers, Hanne and her son Niels. While Hanne gets used to scream therapy and raising vegetables surprisingly quickly - and even more quickly to the tantra games with commune guru Peter - Niels has less and less desire for the dogmatic commune rules. Out of defiance, he joins the violent nuclear power plant resistance, thus upsetting the tranquil chaos of the commune. The big bang, however, comes when a reactor explodes in distant Chernobyl. Exactly on the day Bobby Ewing dies, the petroleum prince from "Dallas" and series favorite of the commune.
