Review of Friends with Kids (2012) by Anthony Lane for New Yorker — 06 Mar 2012

Some sign of mental reach would have been welcome, even if it extended only as far as their children. Indeed, given the title, it's remarkable how little space is granted to the offspring, who are introduced as excretory machines, sex-blocking irritants, and occasional simpering angels, but never as beings unto themselves.

Any parents who see this movie should be warned about the final score: Friends 6, Kids 0.
