Neil LaBute's second film, YOUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS, is a dark comedy of manners that follows two unhappy couples and their single friends through a series of emotional and physical entanglements. Barry (Aaron Eckhart) and Mary (Amy Brenneman) are a married couple plagued by sexual frustration. Their friend Jerry (Ben Stiller), a theater professor, lives with his girlfriend, Terri (Catherine Keener), who's sick of his endless bedroom banter. Added to the fold are Cary (Jason Patric), a narcissistic, womanizing doctor, and Cheri (Nastassja Kinski), a free-spirited gallery assistant. While Jerry hopes to have an affair with Mary, Terri strikes up a relationship with Cheri, leading to a host of humorously painful conflicts.

Cleverly framed by scenes in which each character examines the same painting in Cheri's gallery, the film presents an unflinchingly harsh look at relationships. More than anything else, it pinpoints--with hilarious effect--the human inability to communicate. Perfectly cast and expertly acted, YOUR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS furthers LaBute's reputation as a challengingly original filmmaker.

Restlessness, doubt, and regret are the main characters in this talker about a husband and wife, an unmarried couple, and a few assorted singles. The otherwise successful city-dwellers stumble through a variety of ill-fated relationships, awkward infidelities, and lengthy conversations.

"...The quality of the cast and LaBute's hilariously savage touches make this movie well worth seeing."
"...LaBute achieves a bracing originality....The actors are flat-out wonderful, biting eagerly into juicy roles..."
"...Bleak, scathing, and utterly compelling....Mesmerizingly miserable..." -- Rating: A
"...It sustains a psychic ferocity that commands attention..."
"...Neil LaBute is a ferociously talented filmmaker....An awfully funny film, and it features scathingly intelligent dialogue delivered by a talented cast..."
