3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing to challenging but cute and warm, July 29, 2002

By	Dave Jordan (Boringville, Michigan) - See all my reviews

All of the reviews you have read to this point have been pretty accurate, for the most part. And, yes, I can easily see how this movie would receive anywhere from 1 to 4 stars--it just depends on what mood you're in and what you're looking for. The acting in this film, while not necessarily Oscar material, is cute and suitably campy. The one-liners are very well-timed. The cast is fairly balanced, ranging from a weak performance by Claudia Schiffer all the way to the very creative and noteworthy antics of Stephen Baldwin and Robert Downey Jr. Yes, it's predictable and none too challenging to follow, but if you need cute laughs for the above 18 crowd, you may want to check it out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent romantic comedy, January 22, 2000

By	Robert Dew (Cary, IL USA) - See all my reviews

In the style of <i>The Big Chill</i>, this wonderful romantic comedy offers good character development, exceptional one liners, and a surprisingly good performance from Robert Downey, Jr. as he attempts to support the boring performance painfully offered by Claudia Schiffer. The ending is a little predictable but enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Friends & Lovers, October 20, 2003

By	"crittyt" (Lawrenceville, GA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Friends & Lovers (1999) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Apparently I'm the only one who found this movie funny and romantic! I laughed quite a bit, and yes it was campy and the acting probably wasn't the greatest, but I don't think the writer was expecting an Oscar nomination here. Above everything else, us ladies are finally getting pay back for having to sit through female nudity in just about every R rated movie. Friends & Lovers finally showed up some full frontal male nudity, and for that alone I gave it 5 stars! People- don't be so rigid when reviewing a movie! Enjoy the ridiculous too!!!
