Friends & Lovers
First screened in April 2020
Director: George Haas. Cast: George Newbern, Stephen Baldwin, Neill Barry, Suzanne Cryer, Alison Eastwood, Danny Nucci, Claudia Schiffer, David Rasche, Leon, Ann Magnuson, Robert Downey, Jr. Screenplay: George Haas (from a screen story by Neill Barry and George Haas).

Twitter Capsule: Glints of promise from actors and script ("Ich liebe Dich!"). Too bad overall writing and direction are so banal.

VOR:   Less coy or sexless than most US comedies. Otherwise, carries a strong whiff of the self-financed indulgence. How'd they get this cast they've misused?
