Friends with Kids Hits Theaters and Moms Can Relate, BIG TIME!

Grab a friend and head to the theaters to see Friends with Kids, believe me, you’ll be laughing out loud! On Friday, March 9th, the Bridesmaids cast reunite in a hysterical comedy about a close-knit group of New York couples and their single friends.  As the couples with kids enter that stage in life where children begin to take center stage, the singles aren’t quite sure how they fit in and when will they find their “person.” Who can’t relate? We’ve all been the friend without kids.  Then, we all became the friend with kids.  We know how different the lives are and how we are always thinking the grass is always greener on the other side!  I laughed out loud throughout the entire film.

Friends with Kids

Official Friends with Kids Synopsis

Friends with Kids is a daring and poignant ensemble 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 date other people.

Jennifer Westfeldt wrote, directed, and stars in the romantic comedy Friends with Kids. She plays Julie, a Manhattanite whose biological clock is about to run out, so she convinces her longtime platonic best friend, Jason (Adam Scott) to father a child with her. They seem to have a much easier time juggling the responsibilities of new parenthood without the complication of being in a relationship with each other, which is in contrast to the two couples they are closest to. As their friends’ marriages implode, Julie and Jason’s happy equilibrium topples over as well when he falls for a hot young artist (Megan Fox) and she begins dating a successful businessman (Edward Burns).

 There are big laughs and unexpected emotional truths as this unconventional ‘experiment’ leads everyone in the group to question the nature of friendship, family and, finally, true love.

I attended a special screening a the Paragon Theater at Coco Walk in Coconut Grove with @TheExhaustedMom. We had a blast.
