Friendsgiving

Between the constant churn of new releases, Friendsgiving in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on YouTube TV and MovieSphere+ Amazon Channel is the comedy actually worth stopping for. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. 94 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Malin Akerman's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Friendsgiving earns its spot. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Friendsgiving from the crowd. Newly-divorced actress Molly, her recently-dumped lesbian best friend Abby and Molly’s mother Helen host a dysfunctional, comical and chaotic Thanksgiving dinner for their motley crew of close friends and strange acquaintances. Between them, Malin Akerman and Kat Dennings carry the comedy without ever forcing it. Friendsgiving came out in 2020. Friendsgiving earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Friendsgiving is a strong candidate. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Malin Akerman is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
