Nothing holds a mirror up to your life more than the examination of a friend from childhood. While Katie (Katie Corwin) should be celebrating her engagement to John (Mason Gooding), she can't help but fret over what her best friend, Delaney (Delaney Buffett), will think. Driftless and unambitious, her opinions and feelings matter most to Katie. In an effort to reconnect and break the news gently, she plans a girls' trip to assuage her codependent friend, setting the stage for a hilarious buddy comedy.
With an attractive cast (including Zachary Quinto, Cazzie David and Alexander Hodge) and zippy dialogue, closeness and self-deprecating humor are felt through the screen. Despite the serious undertones of growing up and moving on, Adult Best Friends delivers plenty of laughs as it showcases all the double-guessing that the bridge from young adulthood to midlife steadiness brings about. A true testament to enduring friendship, this comedy will have you in stitches while appreciating the bonds that tie us together. Be sure to text your best friend after and tell them you love them.––Nora Bernard
