A.C.O.D.

Get out your drum sets and old pictures, we're reviewing A.C.O.D.!

Carter (Adam Scott) is an Adult Child of Divorce. He seems to be adjusting well now that he owns his own restaurant and is in a relationship with Lauren (Marie Elizabeth Winstead), but when his brother Trey (Clark Duke) suddenly gets married and asks him to get their parents (Richard Jenkins and Catherine O'Hare) together, he finds out he's not so well-adjusted, after all.

Sketched Discussion: I ruin Friends with Kids

Here's my mini review for Friends with Kids: It's pretty good. It's kind of funny, about as funny as I thought Bridesmaids was(not hilarious and sometimes long and awkward) and its got a fairly realistic look at relationships with babies(or as realistic as I can surmise). It has some great acting, especially from Adam Scott who steals the show in a couple of really great scenes(and here's hoping he gets nominated because DAMN), and it kind of makes up for the first half hour of not very funny awkward relationship talks. Chris O' Dowd has a surprisingly good American accent, and the rest of the cast are well acted as well. It's an interesting premise, although I wish they did more with it.
Someone give this man an Oscar already!
Now that I have that out of the way, and you can decide whether or not you want to go see it, I want to spoil the movie by talking about the experiment they hatched, what they did with it, and how I wish they could have gone further. SPOILERS AHEAD.
