Customer Reviews of With Friends Like These...
Low budget, Big Heart A group of actor friends test their relationships when all secretly vie with each other for the same role that could be "the one." What transpires is an amiable slice-of-the-barely-working-actor-in-Hollywood life tale, failed only by it's tepid pacing.
The performances are all good -- with a talented cast that includes Amy Madigan, David Straitharn, Elle Macpherson, Lara San Gicomo, Beverly D'Angelo, among many others. The humor is a bit offbeat and neurotic but never strays very far from it's core issues of faith and trust - and what you do when you find your's has been shaken by those you know and love.
Beverly D'Angelo steals every scene she's in, including those with the incomparable Bill Murray (in an unbilled cameo). And Elle Macpherson once again proves she's a quite capable actress when working with good people. If she's still taking acting lessons, I'm sure she got a greater education through osmosis on this set.
Unfortunately, this director seemed less certain of his pacing than he did of his performers, and as a result the film stumbles in places. Luckily, that mistake doesn't overwhelm the overall quality of this highly enjoyable film.
For viewing, I recommend a bowl of popcorn and a companion who appreciates low budget, big heart comedy.
