Reviews


80
New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
Westfeldt, now 42, belongs to a generation (and class) of people for whom nothing about having kids is easy. Her intensity feels just right - better than in any film I've seen in years - for How We Breed Now.
80
Boxoffice Magazine - Pete Hammond
Although Westfeldt's sharp screenplay is mostly talk, it's very good talk.
75
Tampa Bay Times - Steve Persall
The performances are constantly spot-on, especially Scott during a wonderfully written rant during a group vacation.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
The co-screenwriter of "Kissing Jessica Stein" goes solo as writer and director with a romantic comedy that takes time to find its groove but steadily accumulates heart and humor.
63
Slant Magazine - R. Kurt Osenlund
With the foul-mouthed dramedy Friends with Kids, writer/producer/director/star Jennifer Westfeldt is juggling so much, it's a wonder there aren't more jokes about balls.
