TV Review: ‘Your Friends & Neighbors’

‘Your Friends & Neighbors receives 6.5 out of 10 stars.

Arriving on Apple TV+ with its first two episodes on April 11th followed by one weekly, ‘Your Friends & Neighbors’ sees Jon Hamm blending comedy and drama for a series about a hedge fund manager whose life has taken a real downward swing, and who turns to breaking into his rich neighbors’ mansions in order to maintain his lifestyle.

The new show also stars Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn, Hoon Lee, Mark Tallman, Lena Hall, Aimee Carrero and Eunice Bae.

Initial Thoughts

There have been many shows about the dark underbellies of wealthy neighborhoods, where despite the well-manicured lawns and seemingly perfect mansions, the locale is a hotbed of affairs, crimes and gossip.

Trouble is, to stand out from the crowd, ‘Your Friends & Neighbors’ really needed to find a truly fun new angle from which to explore it, and on the evidence of the first season, it’s not totally clear that it succeeded.

Given that Hamm made his name playing another less-than-satisfied symbol of affluent machismo with an edge in ‘Mad Men’s Don Draper, it’s not hard to see why he might be attracted to the different shades of Andrew “Coop” Cooper here.

Script and Direction

Jonathan Tropper, who made his name as a novelist and has been forging quite the cinematic career through work alongside Shawn Levy in particular (he adapted his own novel into ‘This is Where I Leave You’ that the director made in 2014 and wrote ‘The Adam Project,’ the filmmaker’s second successful collaboration with star Ryan Reynolds), and also previously created ‘Banshee’ and ‘Warrior’ for Cinemax.

Here, his back in original TV territory, even if the story of how a wealthy, entitled and slightly smug individual sees some real push back in his life doesn’t really strike you as the most innovative of concepts.

Still, with a well-used format such as this, it’s the execution that counts, and Tropper, along with his writing team, has fashioned something that mostly manages to stick the landing, at least in terms of its main character. Coop is a complicated man, far more than he first appears, and the showrunner has found a more than able talent in Jon Hamm to bring him to life.

Around him, the other characters are a little less fulfilling, but several of them work, including his troubled younger sibling Allison ‘Ali’ Cooper (Lena Hall), and Olivia Munn, doing stalwart work as Samantha Levitt, the unsatisfied housewife in the midst of a difficult divorce to whom Coop has turned for sex and fun since his own marriage collapsed.

The largely smart scripting is sometimes let down by an early over-reliance on voice-over, which despite Hamm’s ability to deliver it smoothly does dip into cliché territory from time to time. How many lectures do we really need, for example, on the shady background to status symbols such as diamonds?

On the directorial front, Tropper has found some experienced collaborators including Craig Gillespie (who is a fellow showrunner here), Greg Yaitanes and Stephanie Laing, who along with Tropper (who handles one episode himself), bring the requisite style and zip to the show, while letting the more emotional sides sit.

Pacing can sometimes be an issue, but the show in general works on a creative level, even if the balance of satire and mystery doesn’t always sit smoothly on the scale.

Cast and Performances

Jon Hamm has long proved he can handle both drama and comedy, and here he has the chance to blend them. For the most part, he runs with the opportunity, bringing both a brio and world-weariness to the main character of Coop.

He’s our way into this story, a man who is facing the slings and arrows of misfortune after his wealthy lifestyle and marriage crumbles around him, giving him a new viewpoint on life. And a yen for breaking and entering. Coop’s a fine character to follow, one with depth and perception about those around him, and while he’s not always the most likeable person, Hamm’s natural charisma still peeks through.

As his ex-wife Mel, Amanda Peet is somewhat saddled with the sassy-yet-sympathetic role of the former spouse who has moved on, but still has some affection for her former partner (and shares kids with him). Peet has had better roles, yet Mel’s effective in her own way.

Olivia Munn has more of an active role as Samantha, with whom Coop has been having an affair for a while. She brings a spiky, darkly funny energy to the role.

Elsewhere, Lena Hall brings nuance to Coop’s sister Ali, whose mental health struggles bring her back into her life, but also enjoys her own plotline instead of simply being another aspect of his. And there’s a memorable turn from Aimee Carrero as Elena Benavides, a housekeeper who becomes Coop’s partner in crime.

Final Thoughts

It doesn’t always overcome the strictures of its genre, and it does sometimes attempt to coast on Hamm’s natural talent, but ‘Your Friends & Neighbors’ makes for a decent enough entry into the Wealthy Suburban Dark Secrets genre.

Apple clearly has enough confidence in it to order a second season before the first has finished putting out episodes (in fact, the order came before it launched), so we can expect this one to hang around the TV neighborhood for a while.

Ryan Reynolds Planning Boy Band Comedy Movie

Preview:
- Ryan Reynolds is developing a new comedy about a boy band.
- He aims to have Hugh Jackman co-star.
- ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ director Shawn Levy would co-produce and potentially direct the movie.
The gigantic success of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ (it earned more than $1.3 billion at the box office this year and is already racking up plenty of views on Disney+) means that Ryan Reynolds should have carte blanche to do whatever he wants next.

Mostly what he appears to want to do is take a break –– at least as much as someone as busy as Reynolds, with his various marketing efforts and other companies, not to mention a wealth of potential new movies can be –– and spend more time with his family.

But there are still movies that he wants to make and in a new, wide-ranging interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he references one that originally cropped up last year, the story of a boy band.

What’s the story of the Ryan Reynolds boy band movie?

Right now, much of the movie is a mystery –– we don’t know exactly what aspect of the boy band life would be featured.

But given that Reynolds is looking to reunite with his friend and ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ co-star Hugh Jackman on the new movie, we can imagine something catching up with the former members of a boy band group who have since gone their separate ways.

The Netflix TV series ‘Girls5Eva’ covers similar territory, albeit from the point of view of a girl group.

This is what Reynolds told the Reporter about the project:

“I’m on a second draft. The first draft was incredible and written by one of my favorite writers, Jesse Andrews [‘Me and Earl and the Dying Girl’]. Now I’m on my lonesome. There are no dates or anything just yet. I’m not filming anything for at least a year. This feels like it needs to have an extremely modest budget, and one that wouldn’t be all about going to pay above-the-line actors. Shawn, Hugh and I are open to creative ways to make this movie at an absolute bargain.”

And this was his quote about the trouble with boy bands:

“A lot of members of boy bands — and there are a lot of them — had managers who left them high and dry. They experienced levels of fame that would be very difficult for anyone to navigate, let alone an adolescent, when you are farming out your self-worth to an audience of screaming people. It creates a kind of arrested cultural development. They’re forever associated with that period of time in their lives. This would be about people in their 40s and 50s trying to get their lives back. I think there is something beautiful about that. The north star for me as a producer is joy. I feel like cynicism is a contracting industry and doesn’t have a great shelf life.”

Who else would work on the new movie?

While it appears Reynolds is now solely writing the movie himself, there’s a chance he could collaborate down the line with others again.

And from the sounds of it this is being seen as a potential ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ reunion in more ways than one, since director/producer Shawn Levy, who wrangled that giant superhero movie to life with Reynolds, is also likely to be involved as a producer and, potentially, director.

Levy makes sense, since he’s formed a close working bond with Reynolds following ‘Free Guy,’ ‘The Adam Project’ and now ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ though like his colleagues, he’s also someone who has a packed schedule.
FW15JuJGFTtwqnkn4XqPf5
Still, given that it sounds like the boy band project is a ways away, all three could carve out some future time to work on the movie. While Paramount is still apparently involved in the new film, it’s far too early to speculate on when it might hit theaters.

Talking of the more recent Deadpool outing, there has naturally been speculation that Wade Wilson and Logan could return for the two new ‘Avengers’ movies that will be headed our way in 2026 and 2027…

Reynolds plays it coy in the Reporter interview when asked about a potential return for Deadpool.

This is what he had to say:

“There are no updates to share just yet. But I trust Kevin and [Marvel exec] Lou D’Esposito with my life. The character trait I love most about Deadpool is that he’s a fanboy. His enthusiasm and longing to be part of a team is really endearing to me. It’s his overarching wish-fulfillment story. But I don’t think he should ever be an Avenger or an X-Man. I think Deadpool works so well appearing with the X-Men and Avengers, but he always needs to stay an outsider. His ultimate dream is to be accepted and appreciated. But he can’t be accepted. His coping mechanism of deflecting shame through humor works only when used to pave over his many inadequacies. If and when he does become an Avenger or X-Man, we’re at the end of his journey.”

Ryan Reynolds Writing New Movie to Reunite with Hugh Jackman

Preview:
- Ryan Reynolds is writing a new movie.
- He’s aiming to re-team with ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’s Hugh Jackman and Shawn Levy.
- It’s reportedly not a Marvel movie.
If you enjoyed ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ (and given its record-breaking, $1.33 billion haul to date, many of you have, more than once), you’ll be happy to learn that stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman and director Shawn Levy, are looking to reunite for a new project.
FW15JuJGFTtwqnkn4XqPf5
But before visions of snarky clashes and cameos from other Marvel characters begin to dance in your head, a reality check: according to Reynolds, the project that he’s cooking up does not involve their comic-book characters.

Speaking to Variety’s Award Circuit podcast, Reynolds had this to say on the matter:

“I’m spending the year writing. I’m writing a movie for myself, Hugh [Jackman] and Shawn [Levy] to do that is not Marvel.”

So what is the new Ryan Reynolds movie about?

That’s the billion-dollar question at this point. Reynolds offered up no details about what the new movie might entail, beyond the fact that he’s spending the next few months, possibly the next year, working on a script that will see him share the screen with Jackman once again, and for Levy to call the shots.

The trio are, of course, all good friends –– Reynolds and Jackman having previously shared the screen in ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ and developed a bond, while Levy directed Jackman for ‘Real Steel.’

We don’t yet know where the new movie will land but given the enormous success of their previous collaboration (Marvel trappings or no), you have to guess that studios and streamers to will be scrambling to get a look and secure their services.

Also, despite Reynolds naysaying, the possibility remains that he’s quietly coming up with ideas for a future ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ team-up, assuming they’re not already on the roster for the upcoming ‘Avengers’ movies due to hit screens in 2026 and 2027.

What else do Reynolds and Jackman have coming up?

Separately, Reynolds has a role (possibly a voice part) in next year’s ‘Animal Friends’ and is also in the cast for John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein’s follow-up to ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,’ called ‘Mayday,’ which is reportedly about a stranded pilot.

Add to that a variety of projects in development and his various business ventures, including co-chairman of Wrexham Football Club, whose ongoing efforts will be documented when Hulu series ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ returns next year.

As for Jackman, he’s playing a farmer in sheep detective mystery (not a joke) ‘Three Bags Full,’ and is co-starring with Kate Hudson in ‘Song Sung Blue,’ about a real-life husband-and-wife Neil Diamond tribute act.

The actor and singer also has a series of live shows in New York with dates across 2025.

And there remains, of course, speculation that the two actors are hot favorites to host next March’s Oscar ceremony. Nothing has been announced yet, but they’re certainly on the wishlist for the producers.

Every Shawn Levy Movie, Ranked

Director Shawn Levy‘s string of consecutive hits has made him one of the most popular filmmakers working today.

Levy began his career making successful comedies like ‘Just Married‘, ‘Cheaper By the Dozen‘, ‘The Pink Panther‘, ‘Date Night‘ and ‘The Internship‘, but it was his work on the ‘Night at the Museum‘ trilogy that really made him a top director in Hollywood.

Since then he has dabbled in other genres with films like ‘Real Steel‘, ‘This is Where I Leave You,’ ‘Free Guy‘ and ‘The Adam Project‘, not to mention executive producing Netflix‘s juggernaut series ‘Stranger Things‘.

Now Levy is entering the MCU with ‘Deadpool & Wolverine‘, which opens in theaters on July 26th and reunites him with frequent collaborators Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.

In honor of the new film, Moviefone is counting down every movie Shawn Levy has ever directed, including his latest.

Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy Reunite for New Movie

Preview:
- Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy are developing an untitled heist movie.
- ‘Cruella’ writer Dana Fox came up with the concept.
- Netflix has nabbed the rights to the potential movie.
Looks like Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy just can’t get enough of working together. Not content with collaborating on ‘Free Guy’, ‘The Adam Project’ and ‘Deadpool 3’ (which resumed filming last month), the pair has now picked up another new project.

Right now, Levy is aboard to direct and Reynolds to produce, but it’s a fair bet that if they end up happy with the script, the ‘Deadpool’ actor will end up starring.
FW15JuJGFTtwqnkn4XqPf5
What’s the new project that has Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy attached?

The exact story details for this one are under wraps, but The Hollywood Reporter has learned that it’s a high-concept globally set caper flick a la ‘Ocean’s Eleven’. We’re sure it’ll open up opportunities for Reynolds to deploy his trademark wit and quips, but again, it’ll depend on the script as to whether he commits to star, even with Levy serving as director.

Dana Fox, who has written movies such as ‘Cruella’ and ‘The Lost City’, came up with the basic idea and has developed it with ‘X-Men’ veteran Simon Kinberg, who will also produce via his Genre Films company.

It’ll be a while before this one is ready to shoot, let alone find a release date, as Fox has yet to write the script.

And both Reynolds and Levy have busy schedules –– beyond the third ‘Deadpool’, Levy has to work on the final season of ‘Stranger Things’ and a variety of other potential shows/movies as both producer and director.

Reynolds, meanwhile, has a second ‘Red Notice’ movie, new action comedy ‘Calamity Hustle’ (which will co-star Channing Tatum and has been grabbed by Amazon Studios) and various other projects, including the next season of TV soccer doc ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ on his to do list.

Where has the new movie landed?

Netflix –– which of course produced ‘The Adam Project’ and already has the aforementioned Reynolds-starring ‘Red Notice’ movies, was quick to snap this one up after a competitive bidding situation that included studios and other streamers.

It’s hardly surprising that the company wants to stay in business with Levy and Reynolds given that they’ve both worked on plenty of projects there. But it’ll certainly have to be patient waiting for this new one.

‘Deadpool 3’, meanwhile, is currently on track to hit theaters on July 26th. Before that, we’ll see Reynolds in John Krasinski’s live-action/CG family fantasy comedy ‘IF’, which is out on May 17th and has a trailer online.

‘All the Light We Cannot See’ – Shawn Levy and Steven Knight
QEpYq6nc
Premiering on Netflix November 2nd is the four-part series ‘’All the Light We Cannot See,’ which is based on author Anthony Doerr’s novel of the same name. The series was developed and written by Steven Knight (‘Spencer’) and directed by Shawn Levy (‘Free Guy,’ ‘Deadpool 3’).

Moviefone recently had the pleasure of speaking with director Shawn Levy and writer Steven Knight about their work on ‘’All the Light We Cannot See,’ visually adapting the source material, the themes they wanted to explore, the show’s unusual structure, and casting actress Aria Mia Loberti.

Moviefone: To begin with, Shawn, can you talk about the challenges of adapting this source material visually to the screen, as well as the themes that you were excited to explore with the series?

Shawn Levy: Well, the good news is that the hardest part of the adaptation was Steven’s job, so I was spared that. I try to listen to what the script is telling me it wants to be, which is why ‘Free Guy’ looks different from ‘Stranger Things’ and ‘The Adam Project,’ and in this case, the source material, both the book and Steven’s adaptation, it was such a combination of historic, epic visuals, but with almost lyrical intimacy. I saw an opportunity to make something that doesn’t look like anything I’ve made before, but that also said something thematically that I believe in, which is, in spite of the many ways the world can break our heart, particularly in wartime, and the cruelty that people can do, that there is the critical importance of believing in the light we can’t see at a certain moment. History just recurrently teaches us this again and again, and times are dark once again, and it’s so hard, but also so important to hold on to your humanity, to your empathy, and to your ability to connect with someone else, regardless of the uniform they wear or the side of the world or conflict that they’re on.

MF: The series follows two different stories and features a lot of flashbacks. Steven, can you talk about the structure of the series and the challenges of adapting the source material?

Steven Knight: The biggest challenge of adapting the novel is the time shifts, because it’s sort of easier to do that on the page than it is on the screen. It took some sort of ingenuity to make sure that the audience don’t get lost in the time and fall between the cracks. I mean, that is a technical challenge, but I think that the real challenge of adapting something this good and this brilliant is to be able to confidently say that you know the characters well enough to have them do things they don’t do in the book. Setting the characters free can only happen if you are sure, you know who they are, and what they would do in those circumstances. For me, that was the biggest challenge, as well as daring to adapt something this well-loved and this well-celebrated. But I think in the end you have to do that; otherwise only mediocre novels would ever get adapted.

MF: Finally, Shawn, can you talk about discovering actress Aria Mia Loberti and why she was perfect to play the lead role of Marie-Laure LeBlanc?

SL: I felt going in that if I could find someone to play Marie who was herself low-vision or blind, that it wouldn’t just be the right way to approach it, it would be the better way to approach it, because it would be the authentic way to tell this story. So, we put out an open casting call and got well over a thousand auditions. One of them was from this graduate student, Fulbright scholar, young woman, who had never acted or even auditioned before, but she had such a presence on screen. She had an intelligence and a fire in her that felt like a hero and felt like it could bring this hero to life.

Shawn Levy in Talks to Direct a ‘Star Wars’ Movie

It really is a good time to be director Shawn Levy right now. Not only is he one of the key creative team members behind ‘Stranger Things’ (he’s an executive producer and directs at least one episode a season), but his movie partnership with Ryan Reynolds on ‘Free Guy’ has led to a fruitful follow-up that included ‘The Adam Project’ and now, ‘Deadpool 3’, which is in development.

But there was even bigger news today, as Deadline brings word that Levy is also in talks to direct a ‘Star Wars’ movie for Disney/Lucasfilm.

While this could sound like a big rumour, Levy has confirmed that he’s at least in discussions via social media.

— Shawn Levy (@ShawnLevyDirect) November 8, 2022

So far, Deadline has not been able to pry loose any details on writer, subject or release date from the notoriously close-mouthed Lucasfilm team, so we don’t yet know who else will be involved should Levy actually lock in a deal.

And outside of planning the ‘Deadpool’ mayhem and whatever his duties end up being on the fifth and final season of ‘Stranger Things’, Levy has been keeping typically busy. He’s in post-production on Netflix limited series ‘All the Light We Cannot See’, for which he directed all four episodes.

There is still chatter about a ‘Free Guy’ sequel and thanks to his 21 Laps company, Levy has rarely been overseeing more projects, though he has smartly delegated some of that work to his team.

It marks another positive turn in the continuing world of ‘Star Wars’, with several directors/writer-directors lined up for future films. Taika Waititi and Rian Johnson are both at different stages of planning movies set in that galaxy far, far away.

‘Wonder Woman’ director Patty Jenkins remains attached to Rebel fighter pilot pic ‘Rogue Squadron’, even as that film remains parked in a development hanger having lost its slot on the Disney/Lucasfilm release calendar.

And there’s also a mysterious movie from Damon Lindelof, which recently hired ‘Ms. Marvel’s Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy to direct.

Kathleen Kennedy and the Lucasfilm team has been trying to figure out the future of big screen ‘Star Wars’ following the mixed response to ‘The Rise of Skywalker’. There is no solid information about which movie will be next, but there is an untitled film set in the ‘Wars’ universe on the release calendar for 2025.

It’s beyond doubtful that any film directed by Levy could be ready for that date – with his existing assignments, he probably wouldn’t even be able to start work on a movie before 2025 anyway. So we’ll be waiting to watch this one.

Meanwhile, ‘Star Wars’ fans can keep themselves occupied with the likes of Disney+ series ‘The Mandalorian’ (which returns for a third season next year), ‘Ahsoka’ (starring Rosario Dawson as the Jedi warrior) and ‘The Acolyte’, which just started shooting.

Shawn Levy Directing ‘Deadpool 3’

Ryan Reynolds in 20th Century Fox’s ‘Deadpool.’

In what is a development of monumental synchronicity, just as director/producer Shawn Levy and star Ryan Reynolds’ latest movie, ‘The Adam Project’ drops on Netflix, news arrives that Levy will direct ‘Deadpool 3.’

The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Levy is now in negotiations to handle the third movie featuring Reynolds’ quippy, violent “Merc with a Mouth”, the popular X-Men character whose previous movies earned $783.1 million and $785.8 million respectively worldwide.

Little is known about what the story will be beyond what we can predict from those other movies: expect plenty of meta jokes (Deadpool has always broken the fourth wall in comics), insults hurled at Hugh Jackman/Wolverine and plenty of ass-kicking action.

We’ve known for a while that ‘Bob’s Burgers’ writing duo Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin are working on the screenplay, with Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, who scripted the first two movies, now also back for this one. And we’re sure that Reynolds himself will have plenty of input.

This will mark the third collaboration between Levy and Reynolds after the successful ‘Free Guy’ last year and the charming ‘Adam Project’. The two have clearly struck up a rapport that has powered creative, entertaining work and we are honestly excited to see where they take Deadpool. Levy as a director in particular is better known for family-orientated material, but we’re sure he can let loose with the vulgar madness and bullet-flinging that ‘Deadpool’ demands.

The ‘Deadpool’ movies adapt the character first created in comics form by in 1991 by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza. He’s become a huge fan favorite, and there has been massive interest in seeing what he might do given free rein to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Yet there has also been some vocal concern that, since Disney bought the rights to the Deadpool character as part of its purchase of 20th Century Fox, there might not be a place for the R-Rated character in the relatively family-friendly world of the MCU, which pushes the boundaries of PG-13 but doesn’t go beyond that.

But former Disney CEO Bob Iger has assured fans that the more adult world of ‘Deadpool’ can co-exist, and there is more evidence given the planned addition of extra parental controls to Disney+, ahead of the arrival of the former Netflix Marvel shows such as ‘Daredevil’ and ‘Jessica Jones’.

Not that Disney or Marvel would risk sending Reynolds’ Wade Wilson straight to the streaming service: knowing the anticipation for the latest ‘Deadpool’ outing, this is expected to be firmly headed for the big screen.

Reynolds made a typically funny announcement about the project on twitter himself…

— Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) March 11, 2022

No release date has been announced yet, since this is still at a relatively early stage. But even with Levy in particular’s packed schedule, we’d be shocked if cameras weren’t rolling before the year is out.

‘The Adam Project’, meanwhile, is on Netflix now.
