I really struggled writing this post because I wasn’t sure what to say about Friends With Kids.  I’ve been looking forward to this movie for quite a while.  I am a big fan of Jennifer Westfeldt’s two prior movies, so I was pretty sure I knew what I was getting myself into and it would be both enjoyable and thoughtful.  But, to be honest, I would’ve seen a movie written and directed by Rick Santorum if it featured this cast.  My god, has there ever been a better assemblage of actors in a single movie?  Don’t even get me started on how much I love Jennifer Westfeldt and Jon Hamm…I mean, I love them so much I would gladly take a job as their sassy latino housekeeper (I’m not latino; that’s just how much I would want the job) just so I could be a part of their lives.  Maya Rudolph and Kristin Wiig are hilarious perfection in female form as far as I’m concerned, and Adam Scott is as adorable as they come and can do no wrong in my eyes (not only is he Henry Pollard & Ben Wyatt, but he was also an integral part of my favorite Comedy Bang! Bang! episode).  And don’t think I forgot about Chris O’Dowd, who is one of my biggest celebrity crushes of all time (from The IT Crowd, long before Bridesmaids ya’ dummies (I don’t know why shit like this bothers me so much; it’s not a competition)).  Throw in Ed Burns and his sexy voice and not even a nuclear disaster could keep me away (I’m going to pretend Megan Fox wasn’t in this movie, although she did a fine job).

So, anyway, to make a long story short (TOO LATE!), I was pretty sure going in that I was going to enjoy this movie.  And—good news—I did enjoy this movie.
