Your Friends & Neighbors is a 1998 comedy-drama film written and directed by Neil LaBute and starring Amy Brenneman, Aaron Eckhart, Catherine Keener, Nastassja Kinski, Jason Patric, and Ben Stiller in an ensemble cast.
The movie is a frank portrayal of intertwining sexual relationships between three upper-class couples in an unnamed city. Much of the film's plot involves various characters expressing sexual dissatisfaction and entering into affairs with each other, including a homosexual liaison. The characters are never named until the end credits, where they are given rhyming names such as "Mary", "Barry" and "Teri".
Jason Patric's performance as the misogynistic doctor Cary earned an award for Best Supporting Actor from the Las Vegas Film Critics Society Awards.
The film is a loosely based reflection of the restoration play The Country Wife by playwright William Wycherley. In this movie, the character Jerry (Ben Stiller) is seen directing a scene from this play with his students.
The film's credit sequences feature music by Apocalyptica.
This film was the first to be reviewed on the popular website, Rotten Tomatoes.
