Product Description

Married antique-dealers, Kate and Alex (Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt) plan on gutting the apartment they own next door to expand their own pad once Andra, the cranky, elderly widow (Ann Guilbert) who lives there, finally dies. When Kate, conflicted with her own guilt, befriends Andra’s granddaughters (Rebecca Hall and Amanda Peet), the results are anything but predictable in this devastatingly funny comedy that examines life and death… and everything in between!

Amazon.com

The aspirations of an upper-middle-class Manhattan family collide in Nicole Holofcener's caustic Please Give. Catherine Keener's Kate, who runs a vintage furniture store with her husband, Alex (Oliver Platt), covets the apartment next door--she and Alex aim to expand their living quarters--but the current occupant, elderly sourpuss Andra (The Nanny's Ann Guilbert), isn't anxious to vacate the premises. Andra's granddaughters, Mary (Amanda Peet) and Rebecca (Vicky Cristina Barcelona's Rebecca Hall), look in on her more out of a sense of duty than affection. Kate tries to befriend them, but her acne-obsessed daughter, Abby (Sarah Steele), has better luck. After Kate invites the trio to dinner to celebrate Andra's birthday, Alex finds himself attracted to Mary, a narcissistic salon worker who shares her grandmother's sharp tongue (her sister works as a radiology technician). While Alex makes excuses to visit her salon, Kate gives twenties to the homeless, worries that there's something unethical about the way they obtain her merchandise--from the estates of the recently deceased--and struggles to find a volunteer activity that will assuage the guilt she feels about her good fortune. In other words, Holofcener, who has also directed episodes of Sex and the City, returns to the concerns that bedeviled the women in Friends with Money. Their knack for saying exactly what they think doesn't always make them pleasant company, but it does make them funny and real, and Holofcener's versatile ensemble rises to every awkward challenge she throws their way. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Fun to watch and thought provoking

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2023

The dialogue is amazing. The characters are really spot on. These are real stories about real people, rich and not. Although I have to admit if you’ve got a college education and you live in a big city, you’ll totally relate to these situations and the cast of characters. Plus, the cast all hit it out of the park.

Just Perfect

Nicole Holofcener can do no wrong and assisted here by Catherine Keener, Rebecca Hall, Sarah Steele, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Lois Smith, Ann Morgan Guilbert and some other stunners, she turns being human into an artform. Brava.

It was funny but I had turned into a typical liberal comedy about society

This film captures Manhattan through disparate lives—extraordinary characters—whose stories are woven together.

Interesting Film

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2022

Delving into the darkness that most of us try to avoid, yet somehow fall into it. The story line is interesting and the acting is well done overall. Just set your expectations a bit low. Worth a look.

entretaining at times, but more of a parody of the white upper middle class

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2024

Verified Purchase

Although it has some good points, I feel bad for the white upper-middle-class people's exposure. It was a bit embarrassing to see the depth of dysfunctionality—racism, superficiality, chronic mental health issues, entitlement, privilege, powerlessness, hypocrisy, betrayal, etc. And all under the self-premise that 'they are the best' and everybody else is at fault and underserved, and should be regarded with pity...
The most pitiful were the entitled ones.

Another winner by Nicole Holofcener

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2012

Another great story by Nicole Holofcener - the writer/director behind Friends with Money and Lovely & Amazing. One of my favorite director. She writes real life stories as well as the best of them - Woody Allen, Alexander Payne, Mike Leigh, Winnie Holtzman, etc. Love her and really dig this movie.

If you want to see a simple little movie that is well acted and extremely well written. Don't expect special effects and explosions, just a special movie with a bang of laughter and love.

Worth a Look

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 6, 2011

Verified Purchase

I don't really go much on "comedies" these days (- Ben Stiller anyone?) probably because "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" set the bar too high. Manhatten Murder Mystery is probably the last film I saw and enjoyed in this genre. "Please Give" is a nice little movie with some genuine funny moments and great performances from everybody plus it's nice to see a fat guy married to Catherine Keener! It is worth a look. I'd also recommend Tamara Jenkins' "Slums of Beverly Hills".

Great little film

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 4, 2011

Verified Purchase

Great little film I thoroughly enjoyed. If you like films such as "Sideways" or "Jane Austen Bookclub" you will probably like this film too. It has that same feeling even though the storyline is nothing similar to those two films. It is just a very grown-up film, warm and happy.
