Dinner with Friends
2001
***
Director: Norman Jewison
Cast: Dennis Quaid, Andie MacDowell, Greg Kinnear, Toni Collette, Jake Fritz

A married couple with two children learn that their closest friends are about to break up. This forces them to reassess the marriage of their friends, their own relationship to these people as well as their own marital life. This enjoyable but disposable drama comedy from Donald Margulies' play doesn't offer new insight into marital matters, but it's short, funny and nicely acted.
