*ahem* MEGAN FOX NAKED MEGAN FOX NAKED MEGAN FOX NAKED! …Sorry, I have to do that for Google search purposes. I hope you understand. Anyway, after the jump I’ve got the trailer for Friends with Kids, the unofficial Bridesmaids reunion starring Kristin Wiig, Jon Hamm, Chris O’Dowd, and Maya Rudolph, with Adam Scott, Megan Fox, Ed Burns, and Jennifer Westfeldt (who also wrote and directs) along for the ride. The plot? “We’ve replaced their ‘Benefits’ with ‘Kids.’ Let’s see if anyone notices!”
I like these actors as much as the next guy, because these are likable actors, but… really? We’re supposed to watch to find out whether the two attractive white friends end up together in the end? Because they made some sort of pact? Didn’t we already make two identical movies about that this past year? And wasn’t it a Seinfeld episode? And this is just that, but with baby jokes? Well I think it goes without saying that this looks great, and I for one would love to see this exact plot of every romantic comedy redone with different actors. My only concern is, where’s Ludacris? Without him, who’s going to give the protagonist the sassy straight talk he needs? It’s not cake without frosting, dudes.

I mean the people are likable which is rare for a rom-com but fuck this hard and never call it.
Technically, Jon Hamm counts as two attractive white people on his own.
My only concern is, where’s Ludacris? Without him, who’s going to give the protagonist the sassy straight talk he needs?
Jon Hamm is way to classy for Ludacris. Morgan Freeman, and insightful straight talk would work much better.
“One day, Brock, you’ll realize you’ve already found what you’re looking for”.
Ludacris = Ashton Kutcher’s friend
Morgan Freeman = Jon Hamm’s neighbor
I’m holding out until someone shits in the sink
Ludacris is the baby.
What, no “JON HAMM NAKED” for the ladies?
Yeah………for the ladies.
Ludacris is Chris O’Dowd’s accent.
I don’t get it. A bad movie comes out and FD complains “waaa waaa why can’t they do it with better actors and a better plot” then we get that EXACT SAME THING here and you’re complaining? This is exactly why dad wouldn’t take you fishing.
It looks good, it’s a movie I can watch with the wife that she won’t complain about and the cast rules. I’m in.
First off, I’m basically a professional complainer, so I don’t know what to tell you there. Secondly, it looks like they forgot the “better plot” part of that equation. I mean really, with the will-the-two-friends-get-together-in-the-end plot? You’re seriously not tired of that yet? Jon Hamm is dreamy and all, but Jesus Christ.
How were you going to finish that sentence, Vince?
“…but Jesus Christ had way better abs.”
“…but Jesus Christ prefers Tim Tebow”
Remember when Maya Rudolph was somewhat pleasing to look at? Now I have to look away like she’ll turn me into stone if I stare too long.
Good God yes. That awful NBC commercial for “Up All Night” that ends with her giant head in the screen scares me to death.
Jon Hamm and Adam Scott could be the two most likable actors to be in a movie together since Lou Diamond Phillips and Esai Morales in La Bamba.
Megan Fox looks vaguely human in this, which is quite shocking.
And Adam Scott and Jon Hamm in one movie? My hetero man-crushmeter will be off the scales.
