3 Reasons You Might Like Friends With Kids

Shannon Vestal — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 15:32:32 EST

The comedy Friends With Kids explores the question of whether two friends can have a baby, raise it, and stay friends. The movie follows BFFs Jason and Julie (Adam Scott and Jennifer Westfeldt, who also wrote and directed the film) as they try to pull off platonic babymaking, despite the fact that their friends think it's a terrible idea. Besides the central couple, the movie also depicts several other relationships - that of Jason and Julie's married friends, as well as the friendships between everyone in the tight-knit group. It's more cynical than your standard romantic comedy, so while you might not get swept off your feet, there are still a few reasons why it's worth seeing.

Welcome to Winter. One of the best things about the next few months (if you can get past the cold) is that it’s Summer blockbuster season in the US, which means lots of exciting movie releases for us to catch at the cinema with popcorn, a hot chocolate, or whatever your cinema snack of choice is. This month we get a double dose of Charlize Theron in two of the most highly anticipated films of the year, a Bridesmaids cast reunion of sorts in a new comedy, and some animated flicks to warm your heart.

Friends With Kids Trailer: Jon Hamm, Maya Rudolph and More Take Friends With Benefits to New Heights

If you loved seeing Jon Hamm and Kristen Wiig as friends with benefits in Bridesmaids, then you'll definitely want to see them together again as newlyweds in the trailer for Friends With Kids. They're not the titular parents though; that would be Adam Scott and Jennifer Westfeldt (who also wrote and directed the film), as a pair of platonic friends who decide to have a baby together without being in a relationship (a "50 percent commitment," if you will.) Naturally, their circle of friends (which also includes Maya Rudolph and fellow Bridesmaids star Chris O'Dowd) don't exactly understand their progressive situation.

The preview didn't have me laughing out loud, but you'll never hear me complaining about seeing Adam Scott in a leading role, or revisiting so many of the amazing cast members from Bridesmaids. I'm even looking forward to seeing Megan Fox in something a little more toned-down, as a love interest for Adam Scott. Get a peek at the trailer when you keep reading.
