Adult Best Friends

Very little to storyline. Unconvincing acting, neither the engagement nor the friendship r were convincing and so it was hard to invest in the thin progression of the film.

Overall, very DULL with a real lack of wit in the writing. Characters lack dimension. Bar scenes ridiculous. Only humor was in the Airbnb owner, but that didn't progress the thin, thin storyline.

Mainly suffers from really dry characters and actors. Premise is good, but on the whole, the movie is a boring slip. I could barely stand to finish it. Maybe put it on for a nap. Rare to see such dullness in the acting from most every main character.

Stumbled on this movie from an online People Mag article. Really a fun movie with a great story-line and first-rate acting.

I knew Delaney Buffett was a writer and director, but I didn't know she was also an actor. She was really very good in this. Very talented. I would love to see her in a serious drama, since she really appeared to have the talent.

The tory is great and fairly predictable. But the ending came as a complete surprise to me! Very cleaver.

Also, notable was the character of Dougie, played by Cory Walls. His character was unexpected and a wonderful addition to the quirkily story. Great job.

The use of Delaney's father's music was a wonderful treat and a great way for her to subtly honor Jimmy Buffett.

Highly recommend this!

Not great, not bad, entertaining enough to keep it on for the full 1.5 hours, but nothing I'd recommend for anyone to watch. Definitely felt like similar characters to PEN15 - many similarities of being childhood friends and working through issues that are caused by simply not talking to each other.

It said my review is too short, so I'll simply repeat everything I just said...

Delaney Buffett has struck gold with Adult Best Friends, a poignant, hilarious, and refreshingly honest exploration of female friendship in your thirties. It's not just a coming-of-age film-it's a staying-of-age one, perfectly capturing the emotional push and pull of growing up without growing apart.

Buffett shines in every hat she wears-writing, directing, and starring in the film with an effortless charisma that feels both intimate and universal. Her script is sharp and deeply authentic, filled with the kind of moments that make you laugh out loud and then suddenly choke up seconds later. There's no pretense here, only raw vulnerability and beautifully timed humor.

As a director, Buffett demonstrates an impressive command of tone, keeping the pacing tight while allowing emotional beats the space they need to land. She finds nuance in scenes that might feel mundane in lesser hands, and she brings out career-best performances from the supporting cast, creating a world that feels lived-in, warm, and heartbreakingly real.

Adult Best Friends is a rare gem-a story told with sincerity and skill, driven by the voice of a filmmaker who's clearly just getting started but already miles ahead. Delaney Buffett has made something special here. Don't miss it.
