Review of Friends with Kids (2012) by Joe Morgenstern for Wall Street Journal — 08 Mar 2012
It's shrill in tone, awash in unexamined narcissism - kids are just pretexts for laughs, rather than objects of love - and afflicted by explosive verbal diarrhea. There's simply no base line of normal human activity, let alone intimacy, until the anticouple finally re-examines their anticommitment credo.
By then everyone has been so selfish and dislikable that our commitment to the film is lost.
