I just watched this film for the second time. I really liked it and could relate to it. I understand the infatuation with someone really hot and how quickly that fades as well as the attraction of being with someone who shares your same values, your sense of humor, and the mutual experiences that come with raising kids together.

Josh Hamm was fantastic in this movie. Some of the better dialogue among romantic comedy movies (with a few exceptions). Overall, it is a decent movie.

Cliched, predictable and dull. Not horrible but there's not really anything memorable about this movie.

Decent script, main characters have good chemistry. Funny and sweet in the right moments.

Don't look for anything surprising here. You can tell the fate of this film a few miles away, and let me say the end dialogue of the film is so horrid it almost ruins the entire production all together. There are few laughs worth side glancing at your tv while this plays, but do not expect to be entertained or surprised by this predictable and basic story. I like many of the actors and actresses in their other roles, this just doesn't come together at all.

Great acting, interesting storyline, and although the ending was pretty expected, I thoroughly enjoyed it the whole way through.

While Friends with Kids mostly conforms to the classic story of best friends gradually discovering they're in love with each other throughout the movie, the film makes this cliche trope slightly more entertaining with the added element of the two characters raising a child together. However, the compatibility of Jason (Adam Scott) and Julie (Jennifer Westfeldt, who also wrote, directed, and produced the film) is undermined by the fact that Jason is almost unbearable. His constant comments that objectify and demean women are disgusting. In fact, his best moment is the dinner table scene when he yells at Ben, played by Jon Hamm, to stop being so judgemental. Ben is also horrible, but he is supposed to be horrible and the audience is supposed to hate him. Jason is supposed to be one of the characters that the audience is rooting for, but I found myself wishing that Julie would end up with Kurt, despite the fact that anyone who has ever seen a romcom knows that this other man will eventually disappear, just like Megan Fox's character, Mary Jane. While Mary Jane is also far from likable, this is mostly because she seemed to have zero personality. Her appearance was commented on numerous times by many of the characters, but she lacked any character development that could have made her tolerable. The idea of villainizing a woman who does not want to have kids also feels stale and outdated. Besides Julie, Leslie (Maya Rudolph) and Alex (Chris O'Dowd) were by far the most likable characters. However, this is mostly because they were uninvolved with the plot. Although they did have a micro-story arc about finding passion in a relationship after having kids, they were mostly just bystanders as the drama unfolded. Despite their small roles, Rudolph and O'Dowd were both hilarious in their roles, particularly Rudolph. She stole many of the scenes she was in and provided the most genuinely funny material. Overall, the film is good. Not outstanding but certainly better than some of its romcom peers that are either completely cliche or just an hour and a half of crass jokes that aren't very funny. It presents a compelling message about romance, suggesting that it does not always have to be based on passion or sexual attraction. It recognizes the hardships of parenthood and does not pass judgement on imperfect parents.

The premise was enticing. The cast made me click play, but the acting left a lot to be desired. Won't be recommending to many friends but happy that I finally watched.

Bad writing, terrible ending. Adam Scott and Chris O’Dowd were very good though.

Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend. Adam Scott's dry humor alongside a great cast of characters really made for this great movie with a mixed message. The entire premise is that am man-woman best friend pair have a baby without getting into a relationship, but we already did something like this on Friends. While the premise indicates something progressive and somewhat innovative, the movie seems to have a hostile intent toward its own premise. Watch for yourself and see how you feel about the question.

Touching & hilarious!

One time my comment got censored already. This movie is a big piece of US American dog shit. They convince, to talk about love, but in real they talk about a fuck. Proof of love (in the last scene very good shown) is just fucking somebodies brain out. I hate these American way of life brainwash movies

Cute romcom with most of the credit going to Jennifer Westfeldt, who wrote and directed it.

Este film es plano y no logras conexión con sus protagonistas ni personajes, es basica y no tiene nada impactante, su arco argumental es simple , pero pese a esto es entretenida y no perderas tiempo viéndola .

An epic failure of a movie that spends too much time on two moderately appealing characters and never expands on 4 other equally-as-interesting characters. Formulaic for about 95% of the movie, I spent most of my time wondering why it seemed so conceptually similar to When Harry Met Sally, yet was centered around babies. Then, with 10 crucial minutes left to wrap up a story that, if continuing with the formula, had a very predictable ending, yet if it strayed from the formula, it was going to happen very quickly and would ultimately ruin the movie. Somehow, this movie did both. This was a long hour and forty minutes. And the depth just wasn't there. On one hand, it seemed like Jon Hamm life partner, Jennifer Westfeldt, was constructing a sweet film about friends who fall in love, but then on the other, she reduced it to a very shallow and empty story. Such a waste of an incredible cast.

As an European, it is sometimes shocking to see the kind of moral dilemma some modern and progressive artists feel the urge to explore

I don't know what the critics are talking aboutt, but this was a good solid comedy, this movie gives it's point in a way that it's difficult to explain, that's why I think people hated this movie. It's a great story and the two main characters haded great chemistry and they were actually believable, I think people should give this movie a chance. So for this being a great film and not understanding the critics, this movie deliver great performances and a great story, I give " Friens With Kids " a B-.

Jennifer Westfeldt apparently loves undermining her interesting and well-observed setups with the most conventional eye-rollers of endings. This one's particularly galling in that, spoiler alert, that cynical guess you made when you saw the trailer about how this movie ends, yeah that's how it ends. I mean, on one hand I shouldn't be shocked that the writer of Kissing Jessica Stein came up with an extremely predictable (not to mention heteronormative) ending. On the other hand, I'm even more annoyed that she's done this to me twice now.

Casually misogynistic and not funny. A waste of a great cast.

It's good movie to watch
