His idealistic, and mostly deadbeat, friends "work" to find a means of making money to move up to bigger and better things, perhaps resulting to less legal manners to do so. in the San Fernando Valley who longs to make his mark. The plot of the movie, according to the trailers, centers on Cole an aspiring D.J. What is the verdict with this movie? Well sit back, relax and read my thoughts on Max Joseph's We Are Your Friends.
