Overview
In the wake of their friends' marriages and eventual offspring, longtime pals Julie and Jason decide to have a child together without becoming a couple. By becoming "time-share" parents, they reason, they can experience the joys of parenthood without significantly curbing their personal freedom. However, when Julie and Jason both become involved with others, they discover that they secretly harbor romantic feelings for each other.
I thought that the movie was extremely honest and unique in the way it describes how kids affect relationships. The movie impressed in that every time I thought it was going to go down well-travelled roads it did not. That said, the ending kind of went against the spirit of the rest of the film.
