Friends with Money

I went to see the new Jennifer Aniston movie Friends with Money. I struggled so hard to stay awake and pay attention. I do have to ask what exactly is the plot of the story. A lot of things made no sense. Let's see: Olivia, a gal who apparently loves money, has friends with money, drops a job at a wealthy high school to become a maid cleaning rich people's homes, becomes so poor she travels store to store to get free samples of expensive face cream, smokes pot (this teacher must have missed the DARE program), dates bums, then wants to make more money by training to be a personal trainer (whom rich people hire), and steals a jar of her precious face cream from a customer to use on her feet. Is that the plot? At the end, one of her bum customers asks her out and they go to a charity fundraiser with her friends and POW!, he is an heir to a fortune. I could tell her interest sparked up after he said he is rich, but what if he was lying since she loves money. Though I do have to ask that if Olivia loves money so much, why doesn't she get a job that pays a lot of money or try to marry a millionaire? This "Woe Is Me" attitude she has lacks an intriquing nature to stay on the end of my seat wondering what will happen next. The Nanny Diaries was better than this (that is a book). The End. Post later. Bye!
