	Author	Review
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"It offers a rare combination of romance, humor, an inventive conceit and social relevance, without adhering slavishly to rom-com conventions (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"An indelibly funny and touching comedy with a real sting in its tail. The laughs leave scars (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"A romantic comedy that takes time to find its groove but steadily accumulates heart and humor"	POS
United States	Alissa Simon Variety	"Although the comic riffs about parenting and alternative families easily rep the pic's sharpest dialogue and strike a chord with more mature audiences, they coexist uneasily with Westfeldt's inclusion of a cruder brand of humor"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"As a light entertainment, it has its pleasures (...) 'Friends With Kids” isn’t constructed as simply a comedy and intends to have a measure of sincerity and even truth at its heart (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
