Love. Happiness. Kids. Pick two.
Directed by Jennifer Westfeldt

A warm, witty romantic comedy about longtime friends navigating parenthood and hidden love in New York City.
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.

However, when Julie and Jason both become involved with others, they discover that they secretly harbor romantic feelings for each other.
