Friends without benefits
From the makers of Bridesmaids (2011), comes this Rom-Com about two friends who decide to raise a child together - without any of the romantic complications.
Jennifer Westfeldt and Adam Scott play Julie and Jason, two BFFs, whose search for the right partner has yielded little so far in their lives. Having both decided they want kids, at some point in their life, and tired of watching all of their coupled friends fawn over their offspring, the two thirty-something urban professionals, decide to have one together, and have joint custody whilst they both search for their perfect partner. Sound strange?
What ensues is a slightly predictable, yet emotionally charged story about two people finding what they want in life. Padded with the differing experiences of the couples around them: from the married pair who are always moaning but love their kids dearly, to the couple who used to enjoy a fully active sex life, and now seem to have nothing to say to each other.
Despite a somewhat flimsy foundation, Friends With Kids benefits from a great cast of funny people, who swarm around plenty of adulthood-related topics with sharp tongues and a proclivity to embarrass themselves (such as Scott being literally rained upon with his son’s faeces).
