 Re: Drinking Buddies
I mean this film isn't going to win any awards but I'm fairly certain this will be in my Top 10 of the year at year's end. Everyone in the film just works so well together and you can tell they are just having a blast. What other reviews have said, and what I can agree with after seeing this film, is just how natural the film plays out. This is in part to a good amount of the film being improvised. This way of approaching the film actually left me guessing more than I would throughout the film and allowed me to have more fun with it. Can't wait to watch this again and again.
Oh and Olivia Wilde's tits are nice.

 Re: Drinking Buddies
This comic drama is authentic, charming, and understated. A small gem. It never builds to an overt, profound declaration, but instead guides the viewer into the interior lives of the characters with a gentle hand, and we slowly become invested in their low-key conflicts and longings. And Olivia Wilde delivers far and away her best performance in a film to date. She is terrific here, exhibiting both expert comic timing and an ability to play notes of sincere melancholy.

 Re: Drinking Buddies
All of what you guys said. I really enjoyed it. It had a lot of "real" moments, and situations that I've either been in before EXACTLY, or situations I know have happened many times before.
