What Friends Are For

About This Movie

So, 'What Friends Are For' is one of those indie flicks that really leans into the absurdity of friendships. Heather and Sam are kind of toxic, right? They really don’t hold back when it comes to trying to sabotage Vanessa's wedding. The pacing is a bit uneven—sometimes it drags, but then it picks up with some genuinely funny moments that catch you off guard. The performances, especially from the leads, feel authentic in their chaotic friendship. It’s got a quirky charm, with some practical effects that are, let’s say, quite memorable in their own way. Not your typical rom-com, it plays with themes of loyalty and jealousy in a way that feels refreshingly raw.

This film has seen a limited release, primarily on streaming platforms, which adds to its rarity for collectors. The lack of a well-known director might deter some, but the unique premise and the strong performances have garnered a niche following. It’s not widely available in physical formats, which could make it a point of interest for those who appreciate indie cinema that doesn’t follow typical rom-com tropes.
