ANGELIKA’S NOTE

"At its warm heart, FRIENDS WITH KIDS is a funny, grown-up love story... about people we enjoy hanging out with, and who seem like people we already know," raves the Seattle Times. This shrewd romance from Director/Writer Jennifer Westfeldt is a Toronto International Film Festival Official Selection that centers on two best friends who decide to have a child together while keeping their relationship platonic, so they can avoid the toll kids can take on romantic relationships. Featuring an all-star ensemble including Adam Scott, Jon Hamm, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Chris O'Dowd, Megan Fox and Edward Burns.

SYNOPSIS

In the wake of their friends’ marriages and eventual offspring, longtime pals Julie (Jennifer Westfeldt) and Jason (Adam Scott) decide to have a child together without becoming a couple. By becoming “time-share” parents, they reason, they can experience the joys of parenthood without significantly curbing their personal freedom. However, when Julie and Jason both become involved with others, they discover that they secretly harbor romantic feelings for each other.

Rolling Stone

"At its warm heart, FRIENDS WITH KIDS is a funny, grown-up love story... about people we enjoy hanging out with, and who seem like people we already know."
