Full of humor, warmth, insight and wisdom, Dinner With Friends is a funny yet bittersweet examination of the married lives of two couples who have been extremely close for dozens of years. Margulies keeps changing the perspective to show how one couple’s breakup can have an equally devastating effect on another’s stability.
