My favorite part was when Jason and Julie visited all of their friends to tell them the news or their plans to have a child together. I'm so glad they used these scenes to show the different points of view about it. It was also pretty hilarious how it was all written too.
There were so many great conversations in this. My favorite is Jason and Ben’s, when Jason realizes that he loves Julie. “Stay with someone you want to be with under the worse possible circumstances…” was a funny line from Ben.
shareThere were some great moments in this. The friends reactions to Jason and Julie's decision to have a child together were great. I agree, I'm glad the different points of view were shown. They were so honest and funny. The advice between friends was sweet and insightful. The serious moments gave you something to think about. This movie was full of a variety of moments and different stories that kept me engaged throughout. I liked this movie because of it's original writing and amazing cast.
yippee ki yay mother *beep*
One of my favorite scenes was when Julie and Jason were telling their friends their decision to have a baby together. Their friends' reactions were PRICELESS. Maya Rudolph's face was especially hysterical, LOL! I can only imagine what my friends' reactions would be If I ever came to them with the same news. But I also know that in the end, I will always have their support and understanding. I think friendship was a very important theme throughout this story. This film captured great 'friend' moments; the intimate conversations, the jokes, and honesty you only share with your best friends, and I really appreciated it.
I really enjoyed the dynamics between the friends and couples in this movie. There were some great scenes dedicated to each couple. I was impressed by how the actors work well as a team. They were so believable as life partners. Moving from single life to family life allows the actors to show great range. I'm curious about the character and scene study that went into it. I would love to learn how these 'couples' prepare together. I'm sure they had a lot of fun filming all over NYC together.
Jennifer Westfeldt and Adam Scott, as Julie and Jason, were perfect partners. Their characters were very honest and open to one another and I thought the relationship was very believable. As the plot progresses, life becomes more challenging for the two. Their adaptability to the story, as actors, and each other's character transformations, was clear-cut. That's why it was so intense and heartbreaking at times. They really brought you into their personal space and took you on their journey.
This film was so heartfelt! It's all about the conversations you have with your besties and those moments you have behind closed doors. I thought it was very revealing but it was honest, had real emotions, and was mixed with humor to make you appreciate life. I laughed, I cried, and I questioned the modern world. It was like a long conversation about love, romance, marriage, having kids, and getting older.
Some people react differently about the ending. I thought the ending was perfect. It was real! Julie knows that the love between her and Jason is there and they respect each other so much and love their baby that they can work out and work through for the best situation for their baby. All she wanted to hear was that Jason felt the same way about her, was attracted to her, and wanted her in the same way. I'm not sure why people are looking for a typical romantic ending when this story offered the real thing. This is how people talk today. Real best friends are the ones you can laugh with, be brutally honest with, curse around, and have no judgement. These are the real conversations between friends who are unconditional, brutally honest, have trust, and have known each other for a long time.
So true! ^ I loved the ending. :)
shareYes, the conversations were funny but also very true in their reactions. Me and my girls were cracking up so much during these parts. The dialogue in this movie is great.
