Review of Friends with Kids (2012) by Fran W — 21 Jul 2012

How would you like to "beat the system" and have a kid while enjoying life and dating interesting people? That is the premise behind this film. Friends With Kids is a funny and touching comedy with a real sting in its tail.

We have two lifelong friends Julie (Westfeldt) and Jason (Adam Scott) who are perfect for each other â" except they do not fancy each other. After watching their married friends crack under the pressure of parenthood, they hatch a plan: make a baby and raise it as platonic single parents who are each â100 per cent committed to this, half the timeâ?.

Can it work, will it work? You have to watch it but rest assured, it is an eye opening film and very much recommended!
