Friends with Money
Todd McCarthyThe rich are the same as everyone else in Nicole Holofcener's social comedy Friends With Money -- they may have more money, but are equally burdened with issues, doubts and often ambiguous forms of discontent.

Olivia may not be as likable as Rachel, but she is cut from the same cloth. Indeed, she could be the older sister of her character in The Good Girl, the 2002 film in which Aniston played a depressed, pot-smoking 30-year-old wife who takes up with a younger co-worker (Jake Gyllenhaal).
