Friends with Kids is an independent American comedy released at 2011 which is written, produced, directed by Jennifer Westfeldt. She also starred in this film, along with Jon Hamm, Kristen Wiig, Adam Scott, Maya Rudolph, Chris O'Dowd, Edward Burns and Megan Fox.
Friends with Kids is about two good friends who have a child together and then start to grow a special feeling for each other.
Plot:
Friends with Kids tells the story of two long time best friends Jason and Julie and four more friends of them. Among the other four friends of them, Alex & Leslie and Ben & Missy are couples with children. Both of the couple are living a very unhappy married life. None of Jason and Julie has plans for getting married, but Julie wants to have a child with Jason and Jason agrees to her proposal.
So they do it and Julie gives birth to a baby boy, Joe. Together they start parenting in a beautiful way by sharing the responsibilities. Their life becomes much better, beyond the imagination of the other two couples. But soon Julie gets a crush on Jason and gets hurt when Jason starts seeing another girl. Her feelings get expressed by her behavior, but Jason overlooks them. Controlling herself, Julie also starts to see another man.
The six friends, along with Jason’s girlfriend and Julie’s boyfriend, goes to a ski trip. At a dinner there, Ben (one of the other four friends) starts questioning Julie and Jason’s relation and their future. Soon it starts a argument between Jason and Ben and at a point, Ben leaves the resort. Later on Ben and his wife gets divorced.
After a few days, on her birthday, Julie tells Jason about her feelings towards him but Jason replies, he thinks of Julie only as her friend and he is having a good relation with his girlfriend.
Julie cannot live with that, so she leaves her place and moves to somewhere a little far from Jason. Few days later, Jason brakes up with her girlfriend and feels that, he also has feelings for Julie.
Next ... okay, lets watch the movie to know what happens next.
My review about Friends with Kids:
First of all, I’d say,Friends with Kids is just a typical romantic movie.
The plot of Friends with Kids is regular and the ending is very predictable, what we expect in all regular romantic movies. You can predict the ending in just 10 minutes after the movie starts and it will not surprise you. So Friends with Kids has nothing special about the plot. The direction and screenplay seemed just average, nothing extraordinary.
The acting of all major characters of Friends with Kids are just okay, again nothing extraordinary. Actually I didn’t like the acting of Adam Scott. To be honest, I’d say the acting of all the other characters are not that good, but still will not make you feel bad watching it. The dialogues will not give you any extra fun. The makeups were good.
A good thing about Friends with Kids is the appearance of Megan Fox as Jason’s girlfriend. But she doesn't have much effects on the plot, just adds glamour to this movie, nothing more.
There is nothing else special in this movie to look for.
Friends with Kids does not contain any nude scene, so it is safe to watch this movie with kids.
About comedy: I haven’t found much of that in here.
So, overall, don’t expect much from Friends with Kids, otherwise you will be disappointed. I will not recommend Friends With Kids as a great movie, but if you are a fan for the romantic movies, watching it won't hurt you.
