Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Friends with Money earns its spot. Friends with Money does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. As she reaches her mid-thirties and quits her lucrative job, singleton Olivia finds herself unsure about her future and her relationships with her successful and wealthy friends. She begins to envy the security of her richer friends and, although their lives may seem easier, Olivia's friends have their problems too: screenwriters Christine and Patrick are unable to collaborate on their latest project, Jane and Aaron have lost the romance in their relationship, and Franny and Matt have difficulties handling the demands of parenthood. Between them, Jennifer Aniston and Joan Cusack carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It hit screens in 2006. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Friends with Money holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Friends with Money. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Jennifer Aniston anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
