Overrated and overhyped

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

A supposed comedy without surprising moments or funny situations, predictable and without romantic tension, in which the only interesting characteristic of the male 'handsome' is that he plays cards and wins. Plus it's one of those movies where the prettiest girl is the loser. Where have I seen this? Seems like all the fun is in drinking all the time. It looks like a promo of a beer brand rather than a movie in which its creators want to transmit some of their creativity. Flat and boring.

I really wanted to like this movie. I love the cast members and had high hopes but was sorely disappointed.

I am disabled and I watch a lot of movies. The movies that I dislike are the ones that are drawn out and boring. Much like this movie, there is no plot to this movie, it just goes on and on about much of nothing.I have read some of the reviews on here and I just don't get how they can give this movie very many stars. I gave it a rating of 2 because I like Anna Kendrick (I was expecting more of her). One person said "best romantic comedy I have seen in years", she must not have watched any movie in years if she feels this one is that good.This movie is definitely not a romantic comedy, it should be labeled as boring drama. It's a day in the life of some co-workers at a brewery, but like in real life, not much happens in an ordinary day.Save yourself the time of watching this boring ass pointless movie.

Neither bad or approaching anything remotely good, Drinking Buddies is a more an acting improv exercise than a film. There's nothing cinematic here and the small servings of drama and comedy are lost in a film that never finds its purpose to exist. Taking place in a few locations, with no script, the cast does a decent job of keeping this mostly watchable, but with such little substance, the film is practically vapor by the end credits. Drinking Buddies is the kind of quiet film that attempts and almost approaches honesty through its everyday people characters, but watching these people get drunk and flirt feels more and more distancing to the viewer as the film goes on - its getting a small peek at a slice of life from a few very believable, but uninteresting characters. There hits a point that spending time with these people has worn out its welcome and their little story is undeserving of big screen treatment. There's no eye rolling moments here, but it's a dramatic flatline of a film that amounts to being nothing more than a time waster.
