Drinking Buddies (2013)

Plot is slow to develop. Characters are underdeveloped. It's just long and boring. Found myself dozing off most of the movie. But once I started, I forced myself to finish and kept waiting for some semblance of a storyline that never came.

To rate this one star is seriously REACHING. I decided to watch because of the great cast and storyline. Well, was I ever disappointed. Olivia Wilde and Jake Johnson act like immature children who shouldn't be in relationships to begin with. Anna Kendrick's character is obviously not a good match for Johnsons. BUT for some reason they stay together? It's an unrealistic view of relationships. At least, no relationship I'd like to be involved in. I'm a young, married person. I find the fact that not ONE person in this movie was able to stay loyal, quite disgusting and disappointing. I understand wanting to have fun and drink, but this is extreme. Wilde and Johnson are both alcoholics. The ending is one of the worst I've seen. SPOILER ALERT: It doesn't seem like Wilde and Johnson end up together, but really, we have no idea. It's left to interpretation, which can end up being intriguing (Inception) OR horrible - this film. Don't waste your time like I did.

the trailer says it all. The film just fills in the gaps. All very predictable, who is going for who. But then, after an hour and a half, it still leaves you with an open ending! How totally unsatisfying! Besides that 'drinking buddies' is more like 'youth-alcoholism'. Really sad.

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")
