It’s not like we didn’t know what we were getting into. But we were in the mood for a movie, and my mother had just read an article about the new release Friends With Kids—how it was by writer/director/star (and Jon Hamm’s long-term partner) Jennifer Westfeldt, how the film seemed relatively interesting and Westfeldt relatively down-to-earth. Plus it seemed appropriate for our annual mother-daughter trip to Montreal (yes, it’s exactly as adorable as it sounds)—and, most importantly, we reasoned, this would give us an excuse to look at Hamm’s face.
