Synopsis
One friend is an intense writer of works that win rarefied critical praise. The other, a housewife, pens trashy tales inspired by her La-La-Land neighbors, and -- voila! -- best-seller charts. Can friendship survive that? A decades-long friendship travels a savvy, sexy and often humorously bumpy road when Jacqueline Bisset and Candice Bergen star in Rich and Famous. George Cukor (The Philadelphia Story, My Fair Lady) directs, bringing a sophisticated touch to his final film. And Meg Ryan makes her tremendously effective movie debut as a teen whose rebellious streak is roughly the size of Manhattan. Sticks, stones, love, loss, silliness, forgiveness -- that's what it takes to make a lasting friendship. Some assembly required.
