Your Friends & Neighbors is a 1998 black comedy film[4] written and directed by Neil LaBute and starring Amy Brenneman, Aaron Eckhart, Catherine Keener, Nastassja Kinski, Jason Patric and Ben Stiller in an ensemble cast.

Set in an unnamed American city, two urban, middle-class couples deal with their unhappy relationships by shamelessly lying and cheating in their quest for happiness.

Jerry is a theater instructor married to Terri, a writer who is alienated and physically unsatisfied by their relationship.

Meanwhile, Cary, a doctor friend of Barry's, is a devious and narcissistic sexual predator who picks up and seduces naïve and emotionally vulnerable young women and quickly dumps them for his sadistic pleasure of watching them cry.

A few days later, she feels more miserable when Barry unwittingly takes her to the same hotel room to rekindle their romance.

After being goaded in the locker room, Jerry angrily responds that his best sexual experience was with Barry's wife.

The movie was financed in part with Jason Patric's $4.5–$8 million salary from starring in Speed 2: Cruise Control.

The film's widest release was 246 theaters and it ended up grossing $4,714,658, slightly below its $5 million production budget.

The site's critical consensus states, "Though it may strike some viewers as cold and unpleasant, Neil LaBute's Your Friends & Neighbors is an incisive critique of sexual politics wrapped up in a scathing black comedy.

[12] Patric also received a nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a drama from the International Press Academy (Satellite Awards).
