Movie Info

Ian (George Newbern) doesn't have the greatest relationship with his father, Richard (David Rasche). The problem is that Ian resents Richard for being absent during his childhood, and Richard thinks Ian is overreacting. When Ian agrees to visit his father for Christmas in Park City, Utah, he brings a couple of friends: Dave (Danny Nucci), who wants to lose his virginity, and Keaton (Neill Barry), who is dealing with his sister's pregnancy crisis and romantic hints from a longtime friend.

Audience Reviews for Friends & Lovers

Feb 15, 2011

For the most part it's a completely worthless movie, but it does contain the complete and utter brilliance of RDJ as Hans. His character is amazing and one of the most hilarious and outrageous bit performances of all time. His nutball German accent and frosted hair is unforgettable. It's a shame the movie couldn't have revolved around him, that would have been something to see. Sadly, this movie is haunted by Stephen Baldwin and an ensemble cast that is anything but good.
