Friends with Kids (2012)

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I shall never get that wasted time back should I live to a hundred. Self indulgence has a new acolyte worshipping at the Temple of Me-Me-Me. From the start this painted by the numbers drivel doled out a vision that only rings true to the idiots in Hollywood who financed this stinking stool of a Production.Casting by the numbers resulted in a mish-mash of semi-familiar faces who truly did not believe in this project. Acting is not just reading the pathetic script and wishing you were dead, no one convinced in the woeful crudfest that this motion picture was.How is this not in the 50 Cents or less bin at what remains of Blockbuster is a mystery 100-fold more interesting than this egregious tripe.

Pros: -This movie is very well shot, directed, and filmed. -The characters are real and engaging. -GREAT supporting cast. -The premise is dumb and common, and from the first scene you know exactly what kind of movie this is and where it is going, but the script itself is pretty damn fine, and keeps things intelligent and lively.Cons:-There's not much to Julie other than her character sketch. When she could show some personality and engage with the audience, she disintegrates into Ally McBeal-esque stuttering. Of course we want Jason to like her, but whereas we see a lot of who Jason is as a person, with Julie we have to take a lot of things on faith. When Jason has his first little Jerry Maguire speech at the ski lodge and talks about how they have similar taste and ideas about everything, I wasn't convinced that Julie hadn't just led him to believe that in the way people will chameleon for the person they're interested in, because all I knew about Julie even by that point was that she was young and successful and had nice hair.-2 or 3 different Jerry Maguire-esque speeches.-Adam Scott isn't really believable as the super-lothario he's supposed to be. -The premise itself is insipid. -The "Boy-loses-girl" moment is so huge that there's no believable possibility of recovery.-Awkward insertions of atheism, which are distracting.

I was trying to get my family into this off netflix not too long ago. i loved it, it was well paced, and pretty unbelievable, and ended up watching the details with Toby Macguire so anyway...there are multiple couples in this film that interact and are friends.... what swept me away while watching on NETFLIX was something about the dude talking about surrogates and my mind was all about GO go see that bruce willis movie nobody was paying attention and adam scott is awesome and i turned it off, ide already seen it plus my sister announced that she was pregnant so whatever and i have to write and type some more because my review doesn't contain enough lines.

This is everything you would expect of a romantic comedy.Although predicable and formulaic, I still found this a good night in. Nice, relaxing no brain entertainment.All the characters seem very interesting although the movie doesn't explore any of these characters and just focuses on the two future love birds. Some of these other story lines may have been more interesting. For what this is (i.e. A lazy night in in front of the tele) this movie was OK.I do however wish writers would stop using swear words because they couldn't think of a word that would be more descriptive and intelligent.
