Reviews
This is an example of what happens when someone releases untouched genius to the big screen. Odds are, though, that genius paved its way itself. I'm already eager to see what's to come out of West Point's pipeline next.
Jennifer Westfeldt proved outstanding talent. Being producer, screen-writer, director and leading role is a job only the least can handle - if they are not to fail at all. The overall cast is also just perfect, even Megan Fox finally got a part that just seems to fit. Congratulations and deep respect to this piece of art.
The story is as simple as the title, it's a glimpse at the most ordinary of lives. Two best friends, boy and girl, watch befriended couples having kids and that rather unfulfilling change related to that, regarding their individual lives. So our boy and girl decide to give it a try and make it somewhat better.
There are not many movies out there serving as classic references for relationships, but this one might get a serious shot. Just like Harry and Sally, this one is set in New York and introduces a somewhat new and probably more honest way of conducting the adult tie.
However, "Friends with Kids" manages to not confront the viewer with any idealism, it always keeps its feet on the ground, simply presenting normal folks who constantly try to make the best only to find themselves struggling for the most obvious values and feelings: love, family, home, and happiness.
Each character develops in a way one cannot refuse to empathize with. Even as some minor acts only get a few scenes the viewer totally gets into them. Dialogues are rolled out in a way one gets the impression of being able to even follow the characters' thoughts. It's what we've seen, what we've been through, what we understand. And that's art.
"Friends with Kids" should not be considered a love movie or girl movie or the like. It's nothing like that greatly advertised romance stuff floating out of Hollywood in ever bigger lots for another Friday night at the movies. It's recommended to everyone having at least one person they call family. You won't regret it.
Big hooray to the cast and an even bigger one to Jennifer Westfeldt's amazing effort. Let's hope it will be considered for some upcoming awards, because this one might stick for a longer while...
Enjoy Friends with Kids
