In the vibrant, beer-soaked world of a Chicago craft brewery, the line between friendship and romance becomes deliciously blurred in this witty and authentic dramedy from writer-director Joe Swanberg. Olivia Wilde shines as Kate, a free-spirited brewery manager whose playful, flirtatious bond with her co-worker and best friend Luke, played by Jake Johnson, is the cornerstone of her life. Their easy chemistry is undeniable, yet both are ostensibly committed to other people—Kate to her mature boyfriend Chris (Ron Livingston), and Luke to his sweet, thoughtful girlfriend Jill (Anna Kendrick). When the two couples spend a weekend together at a secluded cabin, quiet tensions and unspoken attractions bubble to the surface, forcing everyone to re-examine what they truly want from love and companionship. Set against the backdrop of late nights and hazy afternoons, "Drinking Buddies" offers a refreshingly naturalistic and insightful look at modern relationships, where the heart’s desires are often as complex and intoxicating as the craft beer the characters pour.
