ENTER TO WIN "FRIENDS WITH KIDS" ON DVD

Friends with Kids on DVD

One of the biggest hits of TIFF 2011 was Friends with Kids and after a few additional tune-ups and a decent run at the Theatres, the Jennifer Westfeldt acted, written and directed-Film is now seeing a DVD release.  We were at its Premiere - click here for a walk down Memory Lane!

Friends with Kids centers around two best Friends, Julie (Westfeldt) and Jason (Adam Scott) who decide to raise a Child together. Although their feelings for one another are completely platonic, we begin to see complexities develop as they each carry-on in their own respective romantic lives.

Starring an outstanding Supporting Cast which includes Jon Hamm, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Megan Fox, Chris O'Dowd, Edward Burns and more, Friends with Kids is equal parts a Drama as it is a Comedy and a Romance.  It hits stores on Tuesday, July 17, 2012.

Touchwood PR, VVS Films and Mr. Will-W.:Pop Maven are excited to offer Canadian Readers a chance to win one of five DVD copies up for grabs.  All you have to do to enter is "like" this Post at Mr. Will-W.:Pop Maven on Facebook and be following me on Twitter.  Your deadline is Friday, July 13, 2012.  Good luck.

BRIDESMAIDS - MOVIE REVIEW

Still from Bridesmaids

Easily one of the best Films of 2011, Bridesmaids is equal parts heartfelt as it is hilarious. The Paul Feig (Superbad) Film centers around Annie (Kristen Wiig), a single lovelorn Woman who is coping with the failure of her Bakery which recently went Bankrupt. Her BFF since childhood Lilian (Maya Rudolph) then suddenly names her Maid of Honour at her upcoming wedding, but Annie really hasn't a clue what to do. Above this, she must deal with the menacing presence of the socially graceful Helen (Rose Byrne), who over the past eight months has become quite close to Lilian, threatening her role as BFF/Maid of Honour.

Annie is involved with Tim (Jon Hamm), a Playboy who takes advantage of her and has no plans to commit to her. Getting pulled-over while driving one day, she encounters Nathan (Chris O'Dowd) who just might the right Guy for her. Being challenged by her own personal Demons and insecurities, Annie finds herself caught in a cycle of self-sabotage and with Lilian's wedding looming, we are concerned whether ultimately she'll  be able to pull herself out this slump.

Although Judd Apatow fills the role of Producer here, his influence is palpable even with Feig helming the Film.  As normally is the case with Apatow's films, they often clock-in past the two-hour mark, yet on that note the characters in his stories are thoughtfully crafted with genuine struggles.  Bridesmaids is no exception.
