Michael Ledo Luke (Jake Johnson) and Kate (Olivia Wilde) work at a micro-brew and spend their nights drinking at a bar. They are close friends. Luke has a girlfriend Jill (Anna Kendrick) who is a teacher and level headed. Kate has been dating Chris (Ron Livingston) for 8 months. He is also level headed. Our foursome go away for a weekend where Chris has the realization Kate is not right for him. He is more interested in Jill. Chris breaks up with Kate which leads to...pretty much nothing except the realization there is life outside of drinking.This is a pretty much been there done that film for me and I was bored from the lack of comedy, action, or drama beyond a sarcastic remark. Not much in entertainment value.F-bomb. Implied sex. Olivia Wilde brief nudity?
pcanaro I've read other reviews that said this movie felt fake because the lines were improvised and blah blah blah... This was a movie that actually felt like real life. It didn't necessarily have a happy ending, Life doesn't always have a happy ending. This was finally a movie that could genuinely be a reality. Not a single thing that happened in this movie made me think "Yeah, that's sweet.. but that could never happen.." I loved it.
Claudio Carvalho In Chicago, Kate (Olivia Wilde) is the PR of a brewery. Her boyfriend is Chris (Ron Livingston) and her best friend is her coworker Luke (Jake Johnson), who lives with his girlfriend Jill (Anna Kendrick). When Chris invites Luke and Jill to spend the weekend at his house by the lake, he gets closer to Jill while Kate spends most of the time with Luke. When they return to the city, Chris breaks up with Kate. She becomes upset and decides to celebrate with her coworkers in a bar; then she has one night stand with her colleague Dave (Ti West). When Luke learns what happened in the previous night, he becomes kind of jealous. Will their relationship be affected? "Drinking Buddies" is a film about friendship and beers. The movie keeps a sexual tension between Kate and Luke that goes nowhere. Every viewer might have believed that the association of drinks and close relationship would go in a different direction, but it does not. But the chemistry between Olivia Wilde and Jake Johnson is impressive and beautiful to see. The scene when the gorgeous Olivia Wilde takes her clothes off is extremely sensual. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Um Brinde À Amizade" ("A Toast to Friendship")
arthera09 Neither one of the leads were likable. The two most likable characters to me were the two side characters. I could tell the movie was mostly improvised and the actors did not feel natural in that environment. There were times when it clicked, but not often. Some of the dialog was good in these moments, but it was never consistent. I remember laughing once during the whole movie and rolling my eyes for most of it. The two cast members, Ron Livingston and Anna Kendrick, were not the main focus of the movie and the only reason I watched it. In general I do not like Jake Johnson and I have no opinion on Olivia Wilde. I guess they both did an OK job, but they were both so annoying in general
