Friends with Kids

Family doesn't always go according to plan.

A comedy about a close-knit circle of friends at that moment in life when children arrive and everything changes. The last two singles in the group observe the effect that kids have had on their friends' relationships and wonder if there's a better way. They decide to have a kid together, and still date other people. This unconventional experiment leads everyone in the group to question the nature of friendship, family and, finally, true love.

What the Critics say
Die Burger Jeanne Calitz Ouerskap is geen sorglose kinderspel.	10
Box Office Pete Hammond With a premise this funny and original and a cast this solid (including a few recent Bridesmaids vets), it should draw upscale adult audiences looking for a sophisticated romp to rescue them from the spring cinema doldrums.	15
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert As a light entertainment, it has its pleasures, but at the end I was left with feeling sorry for the poor kid who emerges as such a great convenience.	13
Rolling Stone Peter Travers Westfeldt is the pulse of Friends With Kids, presenting us with life in all of its vibrant, messy sprawl.	18
