I love that Daily Candy has BOTH Friends With Kids AND Hunger Games on their must watch list!!!
Friends with Kids
Maya Rudolph burping babies, Kristen Wiig slapping Jon’s Hamm. Another walk down the Bridesmaids aisle, perhaps? Newbie directorJennifer Westfeldt’s funny baby/mama drama is a grand debut that sticks with what works — but a sequel it is not. Just-friends Jason and Julie (Adam Scott and Westfeldt) skip the complicated “I do” and cruise straight to the Baby on Board bumper sticker. Caution: rocky road ahead.
It’s like: The Next Best Thing after Friends with Benefits.
Take: Parents who reach for the bottle.
Premieres: March 9
The Hunger Games
Don’t act like you’re above it. Now that winter’s gone, we need a new bone to pick — who better than Kat and her beau and arrow in Seabiscuitdirector Gary Ross’s fight-to-the-death thriller? You know the ingredients: a dystopian government and impending doom garnished with an impossible romance. We could go into more detail, but there’s no need to beat a dead (battle) horse.
It’s like: 1984 for the Survivor age. And it’s already slaying Twilight: Eclipse advance-ticket sales.
Take: Your appetite.
Premieres: March 23
