Rating: 8/10
I saw this movie at the Indianapolis International Film Festival and it
exceeded my expectations, partially because of the negative review
beside this one.
The plot of Drinking Buddies is simple: two close co-workers - both
already in relationships - struggle with their feelings toward one
another. This is a relatable concept for many of us, and those of us
who have been in this situation understand just how complicated it can
get.
The other reviewer claims that "nothing happens between the main
characters," and I would argue that point. Lots of things happen
between the main characters and what these things most close resemble
is real life. This film is thoughtful, funny, heartbreaking and totally
charming.
