What do you do if you want a kid but you don’t have a significant other (or indeed if you’re a gay man)? Well, if you’re a woman you could pop down the sperm bank, I suppose, but in the case of Jason (Adam Scott) and Julie (Jennifer Westfeldt), they decide perhaps they should have a kid together, despite not being in love.

That’s not true of their friends, Ben (Jon Hamm) and Missy (Kristen Wiig), and Leslie (Maya Rudolph) and Alex (Chris O’Dowd), who are married and on the baby train.

After writing and starring in Kissing Jessica Stein, Jennifer Westfeldt’s popped up in all sorts of projects. Now she’s making her directorial debut with Friend With Kids, and has enlisted the likes of John Hamm, Jennifer Westfeldt, Adam Scott, Kristen Wiig, Edward Burns, Maya Rudolph and Chris O’Dowd to star in it. A comedy of modern relationships and children rearing sees Westfeldt and Scott as two best friends who decide to have a child together while keeping their relationship platonic, so they can avoid the toll kids can take on romantic relationships. Their friends don’t think it can possibly work, but it seems to, until they start dating other people once the baby is born.
