Friends With Kids

This Afternoon I have been to see Friends With Kids.

Two best friends try an unconventional parenting technique in this heart-warming romantic comedy.

Julie (Jennifer Westfeldt) and Jason (Adam Scott) are platonic best friends from college days. They've watched as their mutual pals get all coupled-up and their lives change with the arrival of children. Leslie (Maya Rudolph) and Alex (Chris O'Dowd), who used to be appalled at the sight of kids in posh restaurants, now have two out-of-control children of their own. And whereas once Missy (Kristen Wiig) and Ben (Jon Hamm) couldn't keep their hands off one another, now they argue and struggle with a toddler. Convinced there must be a better way, Julie and Jason decide to have a baby together while dating other people. This proves easier said than done when Julie begins to develop feelings for the father of her child. 'Friends with Kids' was inspired by real-life child-free couple Jennifer Westfeldt and 'Mad Men' star Jon Hamm's own observations and experiences.
