Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

ramsri007 'Friends & lovers' is not all that bad to deserve this low a rating. It may not be iconic but it manages to make you chuckle throughout. I probably would have given this movie a miss had I not been reading Downey's biography. I just got curious to see the pre-Iron Man movies of Downey & I am not disappointed. The plot is simple. Friends decide to go skiing when one of their dads invites them over. In this journey they find their partners and mend their bonds. Finally all is well that ends well.Robert Downey Jr's role, although brief, keeps your eyes glued to him. This is probably one of his most sassiest yet cheesy performance. I guess the role required him to be that. His German accent is quiet funny. The highlight of the movie is when Downey reveals that he is from New Jersey & not Germany. That explains the fake accent I guess. I quiet fell for his funky hairdo. Worth a watch. You will enjoy it better with like minded friends.

tanya1976 Terrible! Robert, oh Robert, why did you slum it up by doing this movie? With his acting caliber, I really don't get his need to be in this film? Was it a favor to a friend, or a desperate need for, um, something else? I love you, RDJ, but stay away from crap feasts like this in the future, please!First of all, who can honestly believe any of these actors to be twenty-somethings? Second, Stephen has proved why he's the least talented of the Baldwins. Finally, well, the previous posters had said all that needed to be said. It is a stilted, B-movie disguised as an indie film. I was disappointed.

J. Wellington Peevis So cliched stupid, that even the nudity fails. The capping scene when the father and son let it all hang out and bury their emotional hatchets into your poor headached viewer skull, while a string quartet nearly drowns the dialogue, is offensively bad in the offensively bad extreme. This is one of those movies where you can tell everyone onscreen is having the time of their lives, and that fact all the more irritates you because you are being tortured while they are up there making merry millions. Whose son or nephew is George Haas for pete's sake?

tigger-21 I can't understand why Robert Downey Jr. wasted his time with such a tasteless sex comedy. I only finished it to prove my theory that the second half was worse than the first one. Guess what? I was right. I can only say BEWARE, BEWARE and BEWARE.
