Drinking Buddies (2013) 7/10

Starring : Olivia Wilde, Jake Johnson, Anna Kendrick, Ron Livingston
Director : Joe Swanberg
Running Time : 91 mins

Kate (Wilde) and Luke (Johnson) work together at a brewery where they enjoy flirting with each other. The trouble is Kate has a boyfriend, Chris (Livingston), and Luke has a fiancée, Jill (Kendrick). So, when things start to look a little strained in their relationships, they both start to wonder if the other would be a better choice of partner.

Although not laugh-out-loud funny, this romantic comedy-drama is pretty entertaining from start to finish. The chemistry between Wilde and Johnson is perfect, and the ending is worthy of Sofia Coppola. Fanso f standard romantic movies might find this isn’t their cup of tea, particularly with the overly long drawn outending sequence, but personally I thought it was pretty enjoyable.
