Hypable Movie Review: ‘Friends with Kids’ an insightful romantic comedy

Very few romantic comedy/dramas these days come from a place of honesty or true tenderness. This is an issue that has long plagued the rom-com genre, and while I wouldn’t necessarily restrict Friends with Kids – the latest outing from writer, director and star Jennifer Westfeldt – to this rather narrow classification, it nevertheless manages to avoid these restrictions. Featuring an all-star cast – which includes Westfeldt, Adam Scott, Maya Rudolph, Jon Hamm, Chris O’Dowd, Kristen Wiig, Edward Burns, and Megan Fox – Friends with Kids expertly navigates this very delicate film landscape, displaying emotional honesty and depth within a film that is at once very insightful and at times quite funny.
